We've had a lot of great times and played a lot of really amazing shows but the time has come for us to let go of what we have, it's time to move on.
Sorry to anyone that's bummed out about this.
Were playing three more shows - April 27th with BOLD and Joe Coffee (Patronaat, Haarlem, NL), May 6th with Fearless Vampire Killers, Betrayed and almost every cool Dutch hc band around right now (Bolwerk, Sneek, NL) and our final show will be at the Light the Fuse fest on sunday the 28th of May (Metropool, Hengelo, NL).
We'll put every effort into making those shows worthwhile so we can only hope you kids will too.
A one-sided 'farewell' 7" is in the works and hopefully it will be ready in time for our last show. Ever. It will be come out on Not Just Words, who will also release our discography CD in the near future.
We are and will always be STRAIGHT EDGE and we all will continue to other do bands. Check them out:

As for work Im still workin at the same ole, same ole, but im also making some extra money taking these surveys things online; you should give em a try; i mean, hey, the extra money comes in handy, right? i guess you'll have to type the link into internet explorer or whatever, but here it is: www. work4surveybling .com , shame I wouldn't have minded staying there till something more appropriate came along, but I don't have that option now heh.

'member those surveys i was doing online? well, i got 2 checks so far! told ya it was real!! it aint like a ton of money, just like 175 so far, but its good coin to start with, right? you should really do it, now that i've gotten paid ..i guess you'll have to type the link into internet explorer or whatever, but here it is: www. blingforwork .com ..Yeah I will probably see you soon =)
