Tossers show near home....we have discounted tickets


We just picked up a show with the Tossers at Durty Nellie's in Palatine....a hometown throwdown if you will. We have some tickets available (limited quantity) that allow you to avoid ticketmaster fees/surcharges and taxes. It would be rad to see all your smiling faces there....check out the whole story in the blog section

Strung Out show, recording news....


We can finally say we're done recording. We finished up tracking two weeks ago, and now it's on to mixing this crazy record. It seems like it's been going on forever, cause it has :) . But this is it. For serious this time!! It sounds great, Mark has done an awesome job with everything and it's finally all coming together for us. We'll have some snippets of sound up here for you to listen to pretty soon.

If you didn't already know, we have a show coming up in June (the 8th to be more specific...) with Strung Out, Death by Stereo, and This is a Standoff at Reggie's. I can't wait for this show!! If you want to go.......Want to hear more? Read the whole story in our blog section......

More work on the record, new pics


So we just got our myspace page working correctly again. Sorry guys!! All the buttons stopped working, either because I'm a dumbass and deleted the codes, or myspace changed something on their backend. Let's just say the second one so I feel better about myself.

You'll notice a new pic up top, and we have this crazy guy named Brian on there. Bout time right? I'm not exactly HTML/CSS saavy so back off!! Anyways, it's done, so enjoy....

We just had some photos taken (once again) by Tracy Graham and he did a killer job!! We shot at some weird warehouse that had a possessed elevator. No joke. The thing would just move on it's own. I feared for my life! If you want to scope out some more of our photos and more of Tracy's work, check out tracygrahamcracker.com. I would make it easy on you and just post a link, but myspace is all gay like that. My links never seem to work, and then anything I type underneath said link disappears upon posting. Anyone know a solution to that?

Getting there! Almost sorta done!


Holy crap it is cold!! And I mean like -20 or something ridiculous out right now!

Happy 2009 to all of you from Counterpunch! I know this is going to be a great year for us and I hope the same for all of you. We're slowly but surely finishing off these songs, and they still sound killer. You're stoked, I know. We were able to squeeze in a few days with Mark scattered throughout December, and we got through a good amount. We still have a ways to go though!

Destoyed by Lions (aka the studio diary part one)

So we were able to burn through 15 songs worth of music in the 10 days we spent with Mark Michalik. Unfortunately we didn't get to the vocals, but we have some dates in December set up so hopefully we'll post some of the new sounds for all to hear soon.

The first week was all drums. Tuning, playing, more tuning, more playing......

I had enough Ramen to feed half of (insert random small country here...) while El Richo supremo beat the hell out of his kit. The sounds we got are pretty stellar, if I must say so myself. Rod, Brian and I played plenty of Madden and NHL '09 while all this was going down, and despite my best efforts, I still suck ass at Madden. Always have, always will. The furnace was not working the first few days, so the studio was like an igloo. Good times.........
