Sounds Like
like Tom Waits on valium...like Mr. Bungle banging your mom...like Tony Danza at a kareoke bar...like Anthony Kiedis and Beck Hansen in a blender...with your mom...like I'm perpetually stoned and/or constipated...like a shit-filled burrito with hot sauce...like I need my daily dose of bismuth and antacid...like I have no life and I'm up late again...like I recorded at makeshift studios.

Proceeds go to the USO’s Operation USO Care Package... Let’s show the troops some punk/hardcore love!!!
If you're a local promoter or in a local band it would be a real help for you guys to spread the word and possibly to make an appearance. Let's show the world Charleston Hardcore cares about the world...
Background Info: Sameer formed Two Steps Back with Ian and Matt like 8-10 years ago (thanks to prodding from Megan Bowen and Rick from 25 Ta Life). They played together for a few years and then 9/11 happened, Sam went up to live in Jersey and was so moved by what he saw at ground Zero he went to go fight in the war on Terror. He was a sgt. in the army, and we lost him in Iraq. We do something in his name every year, and this year we're doing another benefit show. we send the majority of the money to the USO's Operation USO Care package program (they send stuff to our brothers and sisters serving overseas) Please help us however you can, and let's shoot for a great turnout, and a bigger check than last year. Thanks for your time stu campbell Two Steps Back/Chucktown FOC Productions
If you can't make the show you could always send whatever you can to the USO, just make sure to include Sam's name.
our new album, "best excuses", has been uploaded on www.yearlongday.com. thank you for patiently waiting to hear it, and stay tuned for the official cd release!
