May Just Got Busy!

A bunch of new shows just got lined up in the last couple days. May 13th we are at the Clawson Community Center with the ever-amazing Sunlight Ascending and some others. May 21 we are in Toledo with Waves. May 29 we are back at the church in Royal Oak with Xerxes who are on tour from Louisville, Waves, Positive Noise, and Tyranitar. Come rock with us. Pre-production upate. Last week drums were tracked. Tonight guitars and bass will be laid down. Vocals hopefully in the next week or two thereafter. Chris Trestain is the man. Support Tharsis and Build & Destroy. Flyers for the Toledo and Royal Oak shows are above. The other one will be posted when we get it. Spring is coming. Good days lay ahead.

Michigan Mini Weekend

Next month we are going north to play a couple shows. Saturday April 16th with They Come in Waves and a bunch of our other good friends at Justice Records on Record Store Day. Pumped! Steve will be playing 3 sets that night. Bring him a cliff bar and an energy drink. The next day we will (finally) be making the trek to Traverse City to play with most of the bands from the show at Justice plus Fight it Out. Thanks to McKaig for hooking us up with this show, sorry it took us so long to make it work. The flyer for that jam is up there. Okay that's all.

new songs, new things, news.

Hi ya'll! Busy times these days for the REV and beyond! As you may have read below, we're jumping on the road for 4 nights with Under Anchor in March, we're pumped as hell for that! If you happen to catch us Sunday, March 13 in Toledo, we'll be playing all non-demo songs, 1 of which we'll be playing for the 1st time, a second we'll be playing for only the 2nd time! so that rules! We officially have 10 songs now! Post-tour we hope to lay down some pre-production demos of the 3 songs for our future 7" TO THE ENDS OF THE EARTH. Final versions of these songs will be recorded in June with Jay Maas of Defeater fame! Other things coming up, WELLS' first show in Toledo (http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=178300222213369) and Steve has a show with THEY COME IN WAVES (http://theycomeinwaves.tumblr.com/) Feb. 26th in GR! MIHC is a well-oiled machine (thanks to the Oily Menace) and is running smoothly lately. Hope to see you in the near future!

I love it when good people form bands again....

Yo, so Rob Pennington's bands are forever under-appreciated. His band By the Grace of God still stands as one of my favorites ever, and were the best band Victory ever put out in my opinion (on second thought, they're probably tied with Snapcase in my book). Then he did Black Widows which became Black Cross who put out incredible records on Initial, EVR, and Auxiliary. Well I just read that the core of those bands (which also features Ryan Patterson from Coliseum and Nick Thienemann of Young Widows) is back in full effect as Black God. Sonically continuing in the trajectory they were going down when they fell off the map, rest assured this band rules. They have a 7" coming out on No Idea supposedly. Do yourself a favor and check out their Facebook page here. While you're there please bug them to come to Michigan.
Thanks,
Scobie
