WOW. Super LATE update. LONDON HARDCORE NEWS

Wow. I am sorry I have been so slack but I just started a new job so I havent been able to keep up with updates. So one great big one now and I will be updating weekly from now on..


RUNNING RIOT FEST
The first line up for Running Riot Fest (AKA the fest formerly known as Ninjafest) has been released. Mosey onto the fests Myspace to see who is playing. We have about 7 bands to confirm so hold tight.

HONOUR AMONG THEIVES
Unfortunately, Honour Among Thieves, after just signing to GSR records, have decided to split up. They will be playing two more shows, one at Deadfest and the final being the RunningRiotFest They will be terribly missed. The band released this statement:

"sadly, due to personal differences within the band, we are breaking up. it sucks more balls than a thai whorehouse, but shit happens. we're all pretty bummed out about it, but there's nothing that can be done, decisions have been made and that's just the way the cookie crumbles. we're all still on good terms though and there's no bad blood. sorry to disappoint, but there's no drama here ...

however, we're not going out with a whimper, we have plans:

we WILL still be playing deadfest in sweden on the 13th of september
(we've already paid for non-refundable plane tickets, so we might as well).

we WILL record the songs we had written for the full length. this
might be released as a swansong ep, but if not we'll just throw them up on myspace.

we WILL be playing a final show, what would've been our album release show. here's a stopgap flyer:




we're stoked to be playing with our favourite UK bands one last time. if for some reason you don't already know and love all of these bands, please please please take a minute to check them out, they're well worth your time:

we WON'T be playing any other shows, and we're withdrawing from any shows we have booked aside from the 2 mentioned above. unless of course someone with a lot of money wants to fly us back to russia for a final russian show, we'd be open to that, but anything else ain't gonna happen.

It's hard having to live with yet another failed ambition, another broken dream. but that, ladies and gentlemen, is the game of life. things may not have worked out, but at least we tried, and we enjoyed the ride. a lot of people have done so much for us over the last year, putting their faith and money into us, letting us stink their apartments out, book us shows or just stand there and listen. we appreciate it more than you will ever realise. We made a lot of friends in the short time this band existed, and we will never, ever, forget.

Some of us are working on different projects already, so you can be
sure you'll see us again at some point.

In the meantime, keep yourself busy:
