Final Dire Wolf Show

I am psyched to announce we were asked to play the final Dire Wolf show. They are some awesome guys and we're stoked to be with them as they rock the Frat one last time. Also playing are our good friends in Damages, Face Reality, and the 'Bution. Most importantly, the show is a benefit for a couple of groups providing medical relief in Haiti, organized by a group called 100 shows for Haiti, which is led by among other people Greg Bennick (current Between Earth and Sky, ex-Trial). I think I speak for all of us when I say it's an honor to be affiliated with anything Greg has his hands on. Our friend Moe from Cipher is also involved in this project. So anyway, great bands, great cause, we'll see you on the 29th!

This is what our record will look like...

Below is the cover art for our split with Waves. They should be putting the finishing touches on their song soon. We are hoping for an early spring release.

Last DSR Show!

Our good friends Deathskin Razors have decided to call it a day, but they are going out with a bang next Monday at The Shelter with the Suicide Machines and a few others. We've had the chance to play with them and get to know em a lot over the last year and they are a solid bunch of guys. Come head bang one last time! Word has it that Lawson and Ronjon already have a new project in the works, so keep your ears peeled for that.
DSR RIP

Just Checking In

Hi Friends,
Not a lot to report, we're gonna start working on a new song at practice tomorrow which I'm really excited about. Our buddy Sock from Positive Noise and Xtra Vomit emailed me today that's he doing a zine themed around work-related issues and he is seeking contributions. Sock rules and zines rule, so ya know, this is gonna rule. If you're interested in contributing let us know and we'll connect you. Also, John McKaig posted some shots of us from last month at the DAAC with Run with the Hunted, and as he is an amazing photographer, they look, well....amazing. Check them out here. That brings me to the point of this ramble. We've been playing shows for about a year now, and it's been so awesome. Driving around the state to make noise, play with some of our favorite bands, and most importantly meet new friends has been such a gift. Just wanted to say thank you to anyone who has helped us with a show, watched us play, or gave us encouragement. When we started this band I didn't really think we'd ever leave Steve's basement, so playing almost a couple dozen shows and connecting with new people has been incredible.
All Love,
Scobie

Things Are Movin'

Fall is officially in swing and stuff is jumpin' off! A few things....this week we jam with Run With The Hunted twice...G.R. on Monday at the DAAC, Static Age on Tuesday. Shows should be rad. We are also playing with Outbreak, Reignition, and Down N Out in a few weeks at the mighty Refuge Skate Shop. The benefit for Z and Refuge is two weeks from tonight, make sure you are there! Steve is doing a new band called Shades of Red with our good bud and 6th member Sir Jimmy Lawson. They are playing the benefit for Z and their first show is in Toledo on the 9th. Band is sick, get ready for the return of Moosh on the mic. Aside from Shades and the Rev, Steve is back to Huluding. He will be doing a month in Canada with them from mid-November till mid-December. Dood is busy. Lawson will be filling in for us at the Outbreak show. Also, we wrote a new song at practice this week and it has us all pretty stoked. Some new influences creeping in, it's exciting. Flyers for all the aforementioned punk rock activities are below. Happy Halloween kids, get spooky!

New Songs!

To the right you will notice we have some new tunes streaming. The first two will appear on a split 7" with our good friends They Come In Waves from Saginaw. We have heard snippets from their song, it is epic! Also, Mark and Alex have cooked up something really special for the layout. Suffice it to say I think it will be worth spending a little bit of money to get your hands on a physical copy. The record should be dropping early next year. More updates to come. You will also notice a demo version of "In Hiding", a song we've been playing live since earlier this year. That song will get re-recorded sometime next year for a 3 song 7" we are doing on our own. We will be holed up in Steve and Lauren's basement this winter writing the other 2 songs for that. SO EXCITED! More updates on that as well as there is news to report. Below are the lyrics for the songs. Aaron really outdid himself on "Empty Handed" and "Brass Tacks" if you ask me. And anyone who has seen us play "In Hiding" knows that song is really close to my heart. Get emo with me on that junk. Anyway, we hope you enjoy. We'd love to see some people get stoked with us on these songs next month at either of our shows with RWTH or the one with Outbreak.
Until then.....Scobie

EMPTY HANDED.
upon pulpits and pedestals we crown the ethereal.
ages spent studying ghosts from worlds unknowable.
struggling with ambitions to be god, to be like god.
minds trembling, we pray to tame
inclinations inconsistent with civility.
all too aware of our impermanence,
we scour Earth's ends for presence elsewhere
to prove us everlasting.
empty handed I embrace the undeniable:
the presence of death, the breath of life, immutable truths.
an agent for the present,
the fire of vitality
my torch to bear

BRASS TACKS.
we stare at bloodstained spears hanging on the walls
and the captions explaining their significance.
life transformed from steady hands in treacherous times
to waxing philosophical on the progress of mankind.
education aids evolution but also illuminates
the vacancy of ideals ideals unachieved.
with no clear predator hunting us without
we prey on deficiencies within.
instincts wither while we mourn
the world that cannot be (why can't it be?)
no we cannot understand the meaning of life!
and the assertions made (wishing)
to encapsulate it hollow (quickly)
under examination. (yet we)
yearn for a depth of understanding
that will give respite
to our weary presence.
the value of relics rendered disputable
we seek to inhabit peace.
with a vow of silence on what is and what is not... (our purpose!)
i claim a vital simplicity:
to seek joy while breathing (to seek joy while breathing)
i claim this vital simplicity.

IN HIDING.
like the tips of icebergs and the tops of the trees,
i know there's life, i do believe.
there is life, deep inside of you,
that i can't harness it is killing...me!
(i know there's life, i do believe)
reasons are only grains,
only grains of sand we can't grasp with our hands,
tho i long to understand,
help me to help you shed this muted shell
live the life you long to live,
embrace the love i've avowed to give.
swing life away, scream life away,
signs that you're alive, signs that you're alive.
cracks of smiles and the light in your eyes
frozen moments...moments in time
know that i struggle with doubt,
know that i'm searching for the best way.
i am resolving to rescue you,
know that i'm waiting...i'll wait...
until that spark ignites...
and at last your flame burns bright!
i'll hold, i'll stay,
i'll lead, i'll fucking pray
for the day my restraints tell you
what i want them to say, what i want them to say.
my dearest little one, where have you been,
this search seems endless, time and again,
in laughs, in smiles, just a glimpse and then its gone,
in spite of everything, my search bears on,
and this is my resolve: to rescue you safe and sound.
i'll be here waiting, waiting to meet the real you!
as my heart beats, as my lungs breathe,
i am resolving, i am resolved.
this tangled web woven just longing to be cut free.
(i know there's life, i do believe)
know that i'm struggling my little one
know that i'm searching my lonely one
i am resolving to rescue you
know i am waiting....waiting!
