NEWS

Hello everyone,

We just posted 4 new songs that are demos from the 2008 RPM Challenge. WE MADE IT for a third year and completed the challenge submitting 10 new songs to the Wire offices on March 1st. It's really a good feeling to have that behind us as completed. It was a lot of lost sleep due to long nights recording but we feel well worth what we ended up with. Next up we will be taking several songs form the RPM Challenge and (now that we have time as needed) we will be havign them re-recorded and mastered professionally for posting on the various downloading sites (including iTunes).

We hope you enjoy the new demos. Thanks for all of the support!

Be safe,

Prophit motive

In case you didn't know or forgot...

The Trial "Reunion - Retrospective" DVD is out now. It's a limited press and once it's gone, it will not be repressed.

It's over 5 hours of footage from the 2005 Reunion shows, A Retrospective interview, and tons of old show footage and lots more.

Help us out by picking up a copy at panicrecords. net (this is the cheapest place to get it), revhq. com, interpunk. com, verydistro. com or goodliferecordings. com (europe).

Panic Records also has new Trial Shirts and Hoodies...

Thanks for the support over the years!

P.S. Trial "Are These Our Lives?" is being re-released on vinyl through Panic Records late spring...be on the look out for that.

The newly reformed Sun and the Moon (original line up without drums) are doing some acoustic dates in Manchester. Starting with a short set on the 20th April at the Legendary Manchester busker. http://www. manchesterbusker. com/ Full sets on the 14th of May at The Retro Bar, Manchester (see forthcoming gigs here on this profile for booking details for The Retro) and the 16th May at The L.G.M music venue in Earlestown between Manchester and Liverpool. Tickets from www. seetickets. com or the venue. http://www. myspace. com/newhorizonsonline

This is a great opportunity to see the band do their first gigs in and around Manchester since 1989 in intimate venues (110 capacity at The Retro & 300 capacity at L.G.M) and unplugged (you want to here how these songs stand up played acoustically)

We hope to see at one of the gigs.
