July 9, 2010:
We finished recording for the Titanarum split. Mixing this weekend. Tunes are sounding great so far! We worked a lot faster than I thought we would. We might just be able to hold our own with the jams TA has laid down. It's amazing to think of how many awesome splits we've been a part of. Long may it continue! We also recorded another song for a very special limited-edition single. More info on that coming soon!

The Black Locust split is kind of up in the air. At first they announced that they were breaking up, but they have decided to continue with a slight lineup change. They are still committed to the split, so we'll hope it comes together. Meanwhile we have started working on material for that split, as well as a couple songs for a new full-length.

One more thing for you to ponder: Sidetracked did a split with In Disgust. We just did a split with Sidetracked. Thus it's only fair that we do a split with In Disgust! Look for that next year. Later, Mike

June 22, 2010:
Today is the day! "This Comp Kills Fascists Vol. 2" has been released on CD by Relapse. 19 bands, 74 tracks. 10 of those tracks were played by us. Brand new jams. No messing around with slow parts this time, just start-to-finish annihilation. If you saw us on tour, you heard a few of these songs. Now you can scope out the rest. We hope you enjoy them, but I would buy the comp just to hear new Lack Of Interest shit. Anyway, there is a plan for a 2xLP vinyl version, but we have no clue when that's happening. Oh well. Ah, I just remembered, I have made a lyrics page for our songs, which you can link to from the discography page (scroll all the way down).

We are hitting the studio next weekend to record for the Titanarum split. TA has already recorded their songs. Needless to say, they destroy and will take bands half their age to school. We need to be on our game for recording.

The Worthless Crap page is out of commish. We sold out of a lot of our merch on tour. Here is what we have: "Show Us" LP/CD, split w/ Sidetracked and a few copies left of the split w/ I Accuse! and the "Brutality In Seconds" comp. We have no shirts left except for youth sizes. We do have copies of TCKF vol. 2 headed our way. We could use some extra scratch to pay for recording, so if you feel like helping us out, e-mail us and let's do business!

Oh yes! The new issue of Short Fast And Loud zine is out, featuring a swell interview with us! Do yourself a favor, get a hold of Six Weeks Records and order a copy. Not because there's an interview with our stupid band, but because it comes with a Capitalist Casualties/Lack Of Interest split 7"! You owe it to yourself, if you like our music, to hear new jams from these powerviolence o.g.s. I think that's all for now. Later, Mike

Here are some notes on our tour!
Denver May 22: Drove through a snowstorm in Wyoming. (We found out later that it snowed in Boise too, WTF?) Got to Denver and it was 90 degrees. No Thought was fun to watch. Incredibly fast drummer. We stayed at quite a shithole house, but we were glad to sleep under a roof.
Albuquerque May 23: This was the first of two 21+ shows on tour, shows where we weren't sure if our 19-year-old bassist would be allowed to play. We arrived a few hours early and walked around downtown. It was eerily deserted. The time came to load in and I scoped the layout of the place. Bar area in front, show area in back, both areas separated by a wall. It was easy for Mirce to load in some gear and just stay in the back area for the night without anyone bugging him. We were pleased to learn that Laughing Dog was playing the show with us. They killed it dead, even better than the other times we played with them. One of them (Joe?) took our pictures after the show. I hope those show up online. Nowhere to stay after the show, so we struck out for Austin. We stopped at a closed truck stop in the middle of nowhere around 2am. I slept in the driver's seat while the others set up sleeping bags on a patch of grass. We got back on the freeway around 4:45.
Austin May 24: We arrived in Austin after experiencing the majesty and endless expanse of Texas windfarms. Austin seems unused to 7pm shows. The people who ran the business in the Broken Neck warehouse during the day wanted the show finished by 10, due to the weeknight. Apparently this was the reason for the relatively light attendance. Oh well. It was very hot and humid, which didn't bother me until it became very dark in the warehouse due to broken lights. I don't know about the others, but the combo of darkness and humidity made me crazy. Trek from Sick Thought Recs, who set up the show, put us up in his small apartment which was covered floor-to-ceiling in punk flyers and memorabilia. We watched the movie "Thrashin'," which for some reason was entertaining.
San Antonio May 25: We spent most of the day with Trek, who generously bought us food, let us hang at his house and took us to a record store. We had a short drive to San Antonio so we didn't even leave until 6:30, so as to avoid rush hour traffic. This may have been a mistake. Shortly before we left Boise we learned that this show had to be moved from a space that was shut down. The new address was given to us as we headed to Denver, and we were unable to get to a computer and find directions to the place. So we relied on John, the promoter, to give us directions over the phone and tell us where to go. Naturally we got lost and Justin and I went at each other's throats a bit. Finally John met up with us at a gas station and we followed him to our destination, the A&A Drive-In. He and his girlfriend prepared some awesome enchiliadas and rice for us before the show. We were told to expect cheapskatery from the S.A. crowd. That was not our experience. The show was well attended, all the bands were talented, we sold plenty of merch and got a lot of door money for the gas tank. Also this was the first show where people moshed to our music! By 2am we were loaded out and ready for the grueling drive to Tempe.
Tempe May 26: Some 14 hours later we arrived in Tempe. No more humidity, just blazing heat. We stumbled on a record store and found some good shit in there. Then it was time for our first visit to In-N-Out. Delicious! The show was full of intense kids moshing their brains out! We are always pleased and surprised when kids go ballistic to our music.
San Diego May 27: We came to San Diego for the honor of performing at Titanarum's final show. Sadly, this town has very few options for DIY shows, especially on weeknights. This meant playing a free bar show, the other 21+ show on tour. We were told to expect that Mirce would not be let in. Fortunately the bar allowed him to come in when it was time to play. I'd like to publicly state on behalf of the band that, even though this was by far the lowest-paying show on our trip, we could have cared less because playing with Titanarum made it worth it. They were fucking awesome, and watching Alan behind the kit made me wanna get back to my garage and practice. Also we hit up our second In-N-Out before the show.
Los Angeles May 28: The short distance from SD to LA meant lots of time to kill. We drove around Beverly Hills and the Sunset Strip. It was kinda fun. This was probably the best show of tour. We were treated kinda like rock stars, which we couldn't take seriously but we were flattered. We were the "headliners" on a 7-band lineup. We weren't sure how that would pan out but the kids showed us a lot of love and went bonkers. They asked for an "encore" but unfortunately we had played every song that we had taught to Mirce. We followed Ryan from Arctic Choke out to Thousand Oaks and stayed at his house.
Nevada City May 29: Getting from Thousand Oaks back to the I-5 proved to be a pain but we made it. Nevada City is kinda off the beaten path for touring bands. A bizarre little town in the mountains north of Sacramento. Lots of narrow roadways winding uphill and downhill, fun! A little bit more upscale than we're used to. We played a VFW hall. The lineup and crowd looked like we had been stuck on a hardcore bill at The Venue back home in Boise. We made it fun though and Brad the promoter did his best for us. The last band, Summit, rocked it hard and were really talented. Unfortunately it was after 10 when they played and the cops busted the show during their set. Lame.
Reno May 30: Only 85 miles from Nevada City to Reno. We had a pleasant drive through the mountains back to the I-80. Once in Reno we mini-golfed, ate at In-N-Out for the third time, cruised through some lame mall and chilled at a park. What better way to end the tour than with a basement show?? Great times. After the show we hit In-N-Out one last time to score some cheeseburgers to take home to our friends, and then drove overnight back to Boise.

May 9, 2010:
Well, it seems that touring was not meant to be easy for us. Brian can't go on tour with us - again. Because of his dumbass job - again. Fortunately, our good friend Mirce Popovic (who has been in seemingly every good Boise band in the last few years) was willing to save our butts and fill in for Brian on tour. Brian will play the PLF/Gride show at the Red Room before we leave.

We will have a veritable buttload of goods for sale at that show and we're taking it all on tour too. Of course, we will have the LP and we should have the Sidetracked split by then. In addition to that, we'll have a brand new shirt design for sale, and we still have some copies of "Goatmeal" and the splits with I Accuse and Dead Stare left. But that's not all: this time we will have a "distro" full of vinyl, CDs, tapes and shirts. Mostly it's stuff from my personal collection that I don't want anymore, but there are also plenty of Superbad 7"s and Unholy Grave tapes, plus stuff from HOD-related bands. Check that shit out! See you on tour.

April 29, 2010:
Sad news for Seattle heads. It looks like we won't be participating in Fiesta Detesta. Originally it was to take place on June 12, then it became a two-day fest scheduled for June 11-12. Now it will be taking place on June 11 only, which means we won't be able to go. Sorry! Thanks to Rob at Reformed Records (the promoter) for inviting us and being considerate with us even though it ended up pear-shaped.

April 27, 2010:
Hey! That's right, our split 6" with Sidetracked is now available from Cowabunga! Sidetracked busts out 9 of my favorite songs of theirs, totally unique schizophrenic fastcore filtered through Jay's love of old-school hardcore. Our 5 songs were recorded just over a year ago at Dutch Oven Studio in the Bay Area. They turned out all right considering we literally just woke up that day, set up in the studio and recorded them live without eating anything first.

I have seen rumors that Relapse Records is releasing "This Comp Kills Fascists Vol. 2" (featuring our most recent recordings) on June 22. Maybe that's true, but I haven't heard anything from them about it. We'll see. Meanwhile, we are practicing up for tour and continuing to learn new material. We have been rehearsing for the Titanarum split and we have a tentative plan to record for it after tour. Speaking of tour, Boise heads really ought to come see us off on May 20, when we host Houston's PLF and the legendary Gride (from the Czech Republic)! It's gonna be a huge show, and End Of All Flesh will be on hand to support as well. This will be our tour kickoff/record release party, as we should have copies of the Sidetracked split for sale in time for tour. So come party with us! See ya, Mike

March 8, 2010:
Sick Thought Records has released an intense new compilation LP entitled "Brutality In Seconds"! This record features one of our tunes, namely, "Swallowed." You may know this song from our LP. However, this version is an earlier recording which is just a touch faster than the LP version. Also my snare drum sounds like a goddamn coffee can (which is ironic because, if memory serves, the drum I used was an extra large/deep model that Nathan Barnes loaned to me for the recording). Anyway, this recording can also be found on our "Full Spectrum Dominance" tape. But the LP also has tracks from a lot of our friends, including Sidetracked, SFN, PLF and more. 30 bands in all. I think we're getting a few copies, but don't count on being able to get one from us! Check with Ebullition instead. Mike

February 5, 2010:
Hey there. Hope your '010 is off to a good start. Certainly ours is. I have mentioned that we have been writing a new LP plus two split LPs, one of which is with San Diego's Titanarum. The other split? That will be with Boise's own Black Locust. Those familiar with them may be confused by the pairing, as Black Locust is a rock band. Nevertheless they share our DIY underground spirit. The fact is that this idea has been quite long in the making. Black Locust rose from the ashes of local heroes Heibarger, and go back even farther with us. (Andrew, the drummer, was in The Knifeswitch with Justin, Manville with Brian before I joined, and Dingus Khan with Justin and Brian.) We made an agreement to do a split with Heibarger long ago. Let's be honest, though: the fact that they got their shit together enough to do even one record is a minor miracle. We played at their first show as Black Locust, and afterward I spoke to Shane, one of the guitarists. He hadn't forgotten about the split, so we're making it happen. Exciting!

The Thrash Bash in Seattle has become a two-day Fiesta Detesta, June 11-12. We will be playing on the 12th. When I hear who exactly is playing with us I'll add that info to the shows page.

As mentioned last time, we are planning to tour once more. Tentatively, it looks like late May will find us heading east through Oklahoma and Texas, and then circling back to the west coast. We will show no mercy!! More info to come. Later, Mike

December 29, 2009:
Season's greetings, buttheads. Hope the cold days (or warm days if you're in the other hemisphere) find you well. My computer was broken (again!) for several weeks so I couldn't update here. It's back to normal now. Obviously, we didn't make that mini-tour down to Houston that we planned for so long. We're very sorry about it. Justin's dad succumbed to cancer during the time we were supposed to be gone, so it was a good decision for Justin to stay home and be with his family. Brian was unable to go anyway because of his job obligations. It's been shitty times lately. But we soldier on, practicing hard, getting new material under our belts and still having fun.

The report from Cowabunga HQ is that the Sidetracked split will be pushed back to spring. So watch out for that! It'll be a doozy. We plan to be on tour, so hopefully when we go out we'll have the split in hand. Watch for updates in the coming weeks as we decide exactly what ground to cover. Our first priority is making it down to Texas like we were supposed to! We'll see what happens. Also on our schedule for '010 is Thrash Bash in Seattle in June, and hopefully the release of another record or 3. Stay tuned! -Mike
