happy holidays!
we here at svss headquarters wish you all the best. hopefully
you are planning an excellent new year's celebration, and hopefully you've
got 2007 all planned out. (we do - we'll let you know the release schedule
for the first 3 releases in '07 real soon).
12.13.06
well, it appears to be holiday time, y’all. hopefully the season is keeping you all smiling and spreading holiday cheer (or whatever you want to call it.) here are some updates – sorry for the delay in getting this information to you.
our good friends her candane have released another record, titled no battle, out now on tribunal records. recorded by kris krummet (fear before the march of flames, kaddisfly, anatomy of a ghost) at interlace audio. go buy the disc, it’s available at your finer record stores nationwide, and also available through lumberjack/mordam distribution.
don’t have the band’s sound vs silence debut ep yet? what’s wrong with you!? buy it from the end records or smartpunk.
her candane are currently working on writing new tracks this month, and they’ve booked a bunch of shows starting early next year – check out the tour dates page to see the shows with i am the ocean (featuring kellen dopp, formerly of her candane on vocals), love me destroyer, imperial, and trophy scars.
sound vs silence is super excited to announce the release of the debut record by the hotness, featuring lucky and a-dogg, 2 of the 3 guys that run this here label! the disc is called fashion over comfort, and it features the best damn drum-machine and casio riffs put to tape in the last few days, to say the least. check the tour dates for upcoming local shows, and look for reviews of the record in zines soon. the boys have just added a guitarist and a new keyboardist, and there is talk of a tour this summer. this is a great disc, it’s something like a blend of adam and his package and the blood brothers – but very minimalist and fun. seriously, you must see these dudes rock it live… check out some tracks on the band’s myspace page.
while you’re there, add your ass to our friend list too…twelve gauge valentine is still on tour! currently, they’re doing some dates with maylene and the sons of disaster, and they’re working on booking some more shows for 2007 as we speak. they’re supporting the new disc, shock value (solidstate) and they’re still selling our release, exclamationaire on the road as well. new tour dates added here, so make sure you make it a point to see these guys…they’re getting rave reviews. they’ve got some new posters and shirts for sale too. if you haven’t purchased the records yet, get a coupon for shock value from the band’s myspace page, and buy exclamationaire from the end records right now.
finally, we’re working on some deals right now. we should have some new additions to the svss family to tell you about before the end of the year. stay tuned, we’re dialing things back in so we can turn it waaaaaaay up real soon.
thanks.
