Good weekend

We had a whole shitload of fun jam packed into one weekend. Played some really fun shows and hung out with great friends. Here's a little shout out to the people who lent their hands:
Bryant, Adam and Chad SOUTHERN STATE
Clouded
Grant and Shane in Athens
Drew in Athens (despite the absence of nose drugs)
Ray Houska and Max with Forward Ohio
Brionna and Brett in cbutt
KDC
Andy and Nak'ay
Colin and Swamp Squat
Honey Tip in Ft. Wayne
Extra loud shout to our boy Tyler in athens "i got ONE question...........go browns"

Stay tuned for more shit. Rabid Pigs split is due out August-ish

shirts $5 old school ass snail mail

We have a few of our old shirts left over. All are size LARGE and would make excellent backpatches if you're so inclined. $5 snail mail preferred because I don't know how to use paypal. This money will be used to pay for a new batch of shirts. One design is vultures nibbling on a corpse and the other is the best author and prolific poet Charles Bukowski, cold chillin' in a graveyard, throwin' up the dueces. They're classy designs. We have Bukowski on black or brown shirts. Vultures on black with red or yellow ink. Email grinandbearithc@gmail.com to get one! They're cheap as hell and will be sent in a timely manner!

We finally have demos available, too. It has 3 songs from the 7" that's coming out in a few months (see below) and 1 song that will be on a split with Slayer. We made 50 of them and you can pick one up at any of those shows.

The 7" is getting sent off to the pressing plant in a few days. It's coming out on Allergic To Fun and should be ready here in the mid-summer, hopefully in time for our dates with Buffalo's fantastic Rat Mask. More details to come.
