Keep an eye out for more US tour dates happening in May and June!

U.S. TOUR w/ FULL OF HELL, Stream HELL IS OTHER PEOPLE

In a few weeks we will be heading out on our tour with FULL OF HELL. You can check out the dates to the right, or see the poster below.  We're super stoked to be playing so many new places, and revisiting a few spots as well.  We will have CD and LP versions of HELL IS OTHER PEOPLE available. The awesome folks over at CVLT NATON are streaming our entire LP RIGHT HERE.  Jam the fuck out of it, and if you like it buy it from Southern Lord or check us out on tour.

HELL IS OTHER PEOPLE

After many weeks of writing and long hours in the studio, the production of our debut LP/CD "Hell Is Other People" is finally complete, and we are honored to say that it will be released this fall by the almighty Southern Lord Recordings.

The album's artwork was the creation of Brian D'Agosta of GOSTWORKS. We couldn't be happier with how it turned out - not to mention Brian is one of the most down to earth people we've had the pleasure of working with.

In support of Hell Is Other People, we will be heading out on a 25 day tour to the west coast with Full Of Hell. They will be supporting their debut LP "Roots Of Earth Are Consuming My Home" which just came out on A389 Records. The record kills, and if you don't believe me, listen for yourself.

Keep an eye out for more updates as they come!

Upcoming shows

So, after taking almost 5 months to sort out some things, write new material (an LP and a 7"), we are playing our first show back. It is the 2nd night of Braddock Fest featuring Converge, Burning Love, Trap Them, Kim Phuc, and Code Orange Kids. This show is going to kill, and we're really excited to be debuting some new material there. About half of our set will be brand new songs.  After that, we have Beartrap, Caulfield, Prosessions, and Code Orange Kids at The Helter Shelter in Pittsburgh on June 7th. Every band on that show is amazing, so be sure to check it out if you're in the area. Following that is June 18th with Brain Killer, Ratface, and Drug Lust, also at The Helter Shelter.

A couple weeks later we will be recording our LP, and another 7".  We are currently finalizing the songs, artwork, etc. for the LP, which should be out in the fall. We have been working really hard on these new songs, and it is without a doubt our best stuff yet.

We are also playing with our Cleveland buds Grin And Bear It on July 15th in Pittsburgh. Still working out the details, but it's going to rule. They are one of the best bands out right now!  

Be on the lookout for more updates soon!

Updates....

We are just about done writing the music for our yet-to-be-titled LP.  We are really loving the way things are going, and we can't wait to get them recorded and play them live.  Here is a video from our fall tour kickoff show, where we opened with one of the new songs:

In the meantime you can check out our self-titled 7-inch here: http://heartless.bandcamp.com  If you like it, share it with people and purchase it from Halo of Flies, Tor Johnson Records, or Vinyl Junkie Distro. Our split with The Blind is available at To Live A Lie Records  or Suburban Mayhem Records for people in Europe.

As if this entry didn't already have enough links in it, here is a review of the s/t record: http://www.nuthousepunks.com/blog/?p=1956

Tour recap and other shit

We just got home from tour last night, and it went pretty well overall.  Thanks to all of the people who made it a blast:  Our dudes in Regrets from Chicago, Adam Walker and The Dojo, Mark at the Lemp Community Arts Center, Cory and the Unit 21 dudes, Parker from Humanerror and family, Trailer Space, Titus at Vinyl Junky, Matt and Johnny from Little Rock,  Jonah and the Sugar Shack for putting together a kick ass last minute house show, Jesse and the Little Hamilton Collective, Anthony from Kentucky, and Jacob from WV. Thank you to anyone else who helped us by booking a show, giving us a place to sleep, or just coming to a show and watching us play.

We have a split 7-inch with The Blind from Ireland which will be available the first week of January on  Suburban Mayhem Records. It features four old songs recorded in 2009 that were never formally released, so we are excited to finally make those songs available on vinyl.  I will also be updating our online store (http://heartlesspgh.bigcartel.com) with leftover tour shit and the split once it arrives. 

Other plans for the near future include recording a demo of new material, writing a bunch of new songs, and finishing our LP.  We are going to chill out from playing shows for a while to focus on getting the LP done. We might go out for some weekends here and there, but we don't plan on playing out much for a while. Until then.....
