Cancer Bats Announce US Release of Hail Destroyer out June 24th on Black Market Activities!
May 20, 2008The Great White North gives us a blast of pummeling riffs and jagged tempos as Toronto\'s own Cancer Bats gear up for the release of their much awaited sophomore full length Hail Destroyer on Black Market Activities. Hail Destroyer sees Cancer Bats mature sonically and evolving as they incorporate the past, present of hardcore while they pave out its future.
From the fury of proto punk acts like Black Flag and Minor Threat as they tip their hats to the indie-core legends of the late 80\'s and early 90\'s such as Fugazi, Drive Like Jehu and Jawbox and remain cut from a somewhat similarly coarse cloth of today\'s movers and shakers in the realm of post-hardcore such as Young Widows, Pissed Jeans and Fucked Up to name a few. Make no mistake as Cancer Bats aren\'t here to be lumped into a pigeonhole as their charging riffs and blaring anthem-like hooks ample for fist pumping and whirlpool circle pits perches them on a wholly unique level.
Swooping like a rabid bat out of, uh, Canada, Cancer Bats give a rowdy and defiant clobbering to the eardrums all the way down to the bone. Consider yourself warned as we aren\'t responsible for anything broken or destroyed within earshot of whatever stereo this album is playing from.
Cancer Bats are one of the few bands that can successfully satisfy all tastes. - Exclaim!
A very solid album with a cohesive sound and direction that will satisfy the metal fan in a punk kid and the punk kid in a metal fan. - Subba-Cultcha.com
An explosive metal-inspired post-hardcore collection of songs. - Punknews.org

BMA signs The Indomitable Iron Sloth
Apr 18, 2008We are proud to announce that we have signed The Indomitable Iron Sloth. The Vancouver, Washington band was once known as The Abominable Iron Sloth and released an album with Goodfellow Records/Undergroove. The group\'s previously announced EP will now be a full-length.
We have been huge fans of the band since the last record came out. When the opportunity arose to work with them, we were extremely excited to do so. We are currently scheming ways to honor or at least do something cool for those who initially pre-ordered through their myspace before we were involved. This will be a completely new recording than the tracks initially recorded and posted on the band\'s myspace.
The band comments:
\"Trying to get this EP out has been a sizable pain in the ass so far. Since we recorded it last year I\'ve written a few more songs that I think people might want to hear, so we\'re going to go back into the studio in the coming months to make the EP into a full-length... It really blows that it\'s taken so long, but hopefully we don\'t disappoint with the full length.\"

Animosity Toothgrinder Video to Premiere on MTV2 Headbangers Ball Tonight!
Apr 12, 2008Reppin the Bay in full force, Animosity unleashes the video for the song Toothgrinder for exclusive world premiere Saturday, April 12 on MTV2 Headbangers Ball.
You dont have to wait until Saturday to check out Toothgrinder. The video makes its exclusive Internet debut, today on MTV2 Headbangers Blog. Read an exclusive blog entry from Animosity singer, Leo Miller, about developing the concept and shooting Toothgrinder.
Under the direction of skate video extraordinaire Richie Valdez (Job For A Cowboy, Every Time I Die), Animosity took its goofy antics and running-a-muck silliness to the gritty streets of San Francisco, hilariously ravaging several cultural attributes that epitomize San Francisco.
Animosity first hit the scene in 2000, when most of the members were only 15 years old, with a blistering brand of death metal/hardcore that sought to defy stereotypes and spit in the face of the mainstream. Almost two years after their Black Market Activities debut, Animosity is back and poised to showcase their tremendous talent and growth with Animal.
Headbangers Ball airs on MTV2, Saturdays at 8pm PST/11pm EST and re-airs Mondays at 1pm PST/4pm EST. Check your local listings for channel.

The_Network add new members
Jul 21, 2007The_Network has officially announced the addition of both a new singer and bassist to their line-up. Here's a statement from the band:"With Scott's final show being last week on Friday the 13th, we are pleased to announce we have not only one new member but two. The vocal duties will now be handled by Mikey Bones and bass duties by (Wolf Grenade) aka Bennett.
We have been practicing with this new lineup for close to a month now and things are shaping up well beyond all expections. Writing for the next record has already started. And with Mike and Bennett in the new line up things can be expected to be FAST on the new stuff. We're heading out for two months come August 3rd where we'll be spanning the entire U.S. Then we come home for October where we will be doing select weekends before we leave again in November with some yet to be announced headliners.
This is a new leaf we are turning with a new solid line-up, and while our original singer Scott will be missed we are confident that the new stuff will be just as good if not better with the new line-up. If not better then at least faster!"
