12" finally out, new line-up, upcoming shows

Hello, ever since our European Tour in April we've been in somewhat slowmode and it has also affected the update frequency of this blog...
The mentieoned European Tour was great and we made bunch of good friends and most importantly played some great shows all over the continent
So the "Realities of Life" 12" is out now, get yours from Tampere Hardcore Coalition or Kämäset Levyt.
Check out one track frome the record: Lost in the City

Since last update we've had some problems with our line-up and due to them we've been forced to part ways with Tomi and Joonas. Replacements have been found and our new guitar player Antti has even shared the guitar duties along side with Seve and Tomi on few past shows this summer. Welcome aboard!
Finding a suitable new singer was a bigger task and we were forced to get one from Germany. His name is Janne and he's our old friend. He has been in some bands before to mention few Absurd Attitude, Unkind and Herätys.
Welcome aboard as well!

We shall play two shows with new line-up early next year. The shows will be on the first weekend of March. More info will follow. We are expecting our next release(s) to be out by then. Let's see how it turns out. We've recorded everything and now we are just adjusting the final details with labels and then the records will be pressed.
We recorded 3 old songs that are still on the bandcamp page (and were supposed to come out as a 7") last summer and we are still wondering what to do with them, hah...
Maybe a 7", maybe something else.

Our next recording sesssion will be for a split 12" with a Greek hardcore punk band. We've some tracks in the works for that but can't really say that they are ready to be recorded anytime soon...
Also a new European Tour is in the plans but it will not happen before summer/autumn.

Hey, 12" was sent to pressing plant some days ago. It will be released 13th of March in Potsdam.
