4/6/06 - Don't forget that this Sat April 8th is the first ALL HELL BREAKS LOOSE show in well over a year. If you live anywhere near Florida you should be at this. For more details click here. You also have 10 chances to see RISE AND FALL while they are here in the US. Info for their tour dates w/ Blacklisted & Guns Up! are now on the site. Don't miss out on your chance to see these guys. Click here for TOUR DATES.

2/27/06 - We’ve got tons of News from the SA MOB HQ so let’s dive into it. Our second release of 2006 is going to be the US release of THE BREAK IN’s “Unbowed” full length CD. I got a chance to see this band live at the end of 2004 and have wanted to do a release with them ever since. The Break In have a prior MCD and a 7” out in Europe as well. They are seriously one of the most ferocious sounding bands around these days. You can hear a new MP3 from the upcoming CD release “Unbowed” here: "Coffin Dodger". This will be out this Spring.

After that we will be releasing a brand new 6 song 7” from Erie, PA’s hardcore punk pizza loving HANK JONES. Hank Jones have been around for a few years now with numerous tours and an energetic live show that can’t help but make you want to circle pit & sing along. The band has a full length CD out entitled “Saturday’s Of Thunder” on Undecided Records. You can hear some previous songs by checking out their Myspace page here. Mid March Hank Jones will be entering the studio to record the 7” tracks. The 7" will be out in time for their summer tours. We can’t wait!

For those of you who need further convincing that the new POUND FOR POUND CD is one of the best releases all ready this year, we have added a new mp3 that you can download - “Losing Battle”. Check it out and see what all of the hype is about. Pound for Pound will also be entering the studio sometime in April to record a new 7” which is due out summer '06.

If you didn’t know all ready, RISE AND FALL’s brand new CD “Into Oblivion” comes out on March 14th via Deathwish Inc. It’s a ripper for sure so you should really pick one up. Also any of you fellow American’s who have been asking me when the Rise And Fall guys were gonna take a trip from their homeland of Belgium and grace are presence can now relax. This April Rise And Fall are hitting the shores of the East Coast for 10 shows with Blacklisted. We have some dates posted and will continue to update the info as we get it. Do not miss this opportunity to see them and pick up the new CD and the Surprise Attack release of “Hellmouth” if you don’t have it all ready.

Everyone knows that ALL HELL BREAKS LOOSE ended over a year ago due to the unfortunate death of their drummer Joe. Well I guess they couldn’t fight the powers that initially drew them in together as they are reuniting for a show this April with the drummer from Dead Weight filling in. Check the TOURS section for full info. Some of the guys are currently playing in Dead Weight & Dance Floor Justice, both of which have CDs coming out soon so you should really check them out.

7 Generations recently released a new split 7” with Gather on New Eden Records. Both sides of this record are awesome. We will have them in the webstore shortly. The Die Young / 7 Generations split that we released has been selling awesome and getting a lot of good feedback. We have about 50 of the really rare black / pink vinyl left and not much more in the other colors. Once these are all sold out we are NOT repressing this so don’t get caught snoozing man.

It’s been well over 5 years since either of these 7” records have been available from us and we thought this repress was long overdue… This spring will be the final pressing for both the SHOCKWAVE “warpath” 7” (500 on blue) and the xDISCIPLEx AD “scarab” 7” (600 on clear). Both were early releases in each bands lifespan and really helped to get them to the status they both achieved. Now is your chance to see where it all started. Once these are gone, that’s it for good. Both will be available this April & we expect these to go fast!

We are currently working with a programmer to redo our entire webstore. The amount of support and orders we’ve received over the past year has easily doubled. The new store will have a lot more features and we will finally be able to take credit card orders instead of just paypal. I’m not sure on a launch date for this just yet, but boy am I excited. We have all ready stockpiled over 50 new titles that are great releases and hope to come out with the new store really strong. So basically, save some cash for us because we need it to pump out all of these releases coming up. Take care hombres. - EMS

SA31 - WHEN TIGERS FIGHT "s/t" 7" Jonathan Dennison (The Promise, Another Victim, & Santa Sangre) and Jarrod Alexander (The Suicide File) began talking about doing a project band together in the summer of 2003 but the project really took shape once they enlisted former Damnation A.D. vocalist, Mike McTernan. The best way to describe this record is that it is truly the sum of all its parts. Being able to draw comparison with any of the members former endeavors all at the same time without being a re-hash or imitation of any of them.

12/1/04 - Sad, sad news.  Joe Lamadrid, the drummer of ALL HELL BREAKS LOOSE was found dead after their show this past Friday November 26th in Tampa, FL.  There isn't much to say except for how tragic this truly is and how saddened I am when I think about it.  Words just escape me at this time.  Here is what the band has to say.

"All Hell Breaks Loose has decided not to continue in light of what has happened. To put any and all rumors to bed, we don't know what happened and neither does his family. I have received numerous phone calls asking about rumors and to put all rumors to sleep, we do not know what happened. Joe meant more to us than any of you will ever know. He was an incredible musician and an amazing friend. He will forever be missed and will always be in our hearts and memories. We have decided to have one more show which will be a memorial tribute for Joe. All Hell Breaks Loose will play our final show ever with the help of our friend, Rene from Target Nevada on drums. The show will be in Miami, FL sometime in the next few weeks. All the money that is raised from the show as well as whatever merch we sell will be donated to Joe's family. Anyone who has questions or wants to help, email us at xbandslutx@yahoo.com. Lastly, to everyone across the country who has called us the last few days, sent their best wishes, and dropped us emails, we love you all. To everyone in South Florida, thank you. From the beginning, you always supported us. We can't thank you enough. Thank you and good night. R.I.P - Joseph William Lamadrid" - ALL HELL BREAKS LOOSE

3/11/04 - NEWS FROM ALL OF OUR BANDS!!!!

THEY'RE BACK!!! - That's right, one of Erie's best bands are back in action and coming out swinging.  PROBLEM SOLVER REVOLVER were one of Erie's finest.  They brought a new sound to the area of a more genuine straight up NYHC influence, and kids immediately responded to them.  PSR pounded the pavement for over a year.   In that time, they played as many shows as humanly possible, and recorded  2 demos and a CDep (which we still have a few copies left in our webstore). Unfortunately, line up changes and members of the band wanting to switch musical directions led to their untimely doom. 
     Fast forward to 2004, founding members Dave Vogt (vocals) and Ryan Atzert (bass) decided that life was not the same without PSR and it didn't end the way it should have.  This time their agenda is focused, and their goals are in site.  To help in this mission, PSR recruited friends and awesome musicians Jon Molnar (guitar) & Patrick Bolla (drums) to complete the line up.  Things have been going smoothly due to their hard work ethic & all around enthusiasm towards the band.

PSR have all ready recorded 3 tracks to be released this Spring as a split with their Australian label mates SHOTPOINTBLANK.  They're first hometown show back is going to be amazing (check the tour section) featuring Comeback Kid, Holden Caulfield, Bleeding Through, & Between the Buried & Me.  Expect massive touring this Spring / Summer and they are also currently writing their full length to be recorded in June.  You can hear a handful of their tracks by CLICKING HERE.

ALL HELL BREAKS LOOSE have completed their self titled full length CD this past month.  We're all pretty confident that this band will induce more bloody noses in 2004 than any other band coming out.  Currently, we're finishing up the mastering and getting the layouts underway.  AHBL will be hitting the road for a string of dates with our friends LOVE IS RED from Stillborn Records.

TARGET NEVADA have finished up recording their full length.  This record is really going to blow people away, you're not even going to know what to think.  Mixing and mastering is still being worked on and hopefully soon we will get this bastard to the pressing plant.  Their CDep sa22 - "something nasty" is still currently available and is flying out of here (NOT TOO MENTION IT'S ONLY $5 postage paid US).  Be sure to pick this up since it WILL NOT be repressed!
