Summer & Fall 2009, Last EG Show

Firstly, Eating Glass is playing their last show

at Siesta Nouveau on Friday the 26th:

Q) What's up with your label?

A) Exciting Shit!

ANX 005: Omegas - Sonic Order EP

Montreal's Omegas are the best of all possible worlds - raw and catchy as hell but just loose enough, just dysfunctional enough and just smart enough in all the right places, and natural, like very few modern punk bands with 80's sensibilities are able to be. I'm shitty at descriptions but my first impression was that Darby Crash had swallowed a whole bottle of Stiv Bators pills and moshed on my face. Anyone that doesn't know it, check out their first demo & 7", Psycho Dives on Slam Skank Anthems.

Sonic Order is their second session recorded and mixed by Jonah Falco (FU). (No pressure, joyboys, but) they might just save us all. Then again, they might just want some slam skank.

Out this fall. (Above Photo: Society Suckers)

ANX004: Cursed - BBC Sessions 7"

This is the last Cursed recording, from the doomed final tour that we didn't know was the doomed final tour yet. We did a (BLEEEEEP) Radio One Session (what would have been a (BLEEEEEEEP) Session just a few years earlier - RIP) live off the floor like we'd play it. 5 songs spanning all the LPs that we came to play faster and differently live than they were originally recorded.

Out this fall.

MOAR!

What's up, CHUDs?! So, the Living Darkness EP is almost sold out. Make like Howard Tate and Get It While You Can because it was the only pressing. Cheap Tragedies and Eating Glass stocks are depleting rapidly, so same goes for those. Looking at 2009 releases, there's gonna be some Lullabye Arkestra action, some Burning Love and some exciting Cursed action in the works. And hopefully a Nightbringer 7", who are coming back to Toronto on April 11, at 751, with Burning Love, Crux of Aux and BC/DC. So stay tuned. And I'm sorry I called you a CHUD.

Some Love for EG

This great review of the Eating Glass 7" just came out in the new issue of Exclaim:

"Feed Them…To The Vultures is everything modern hardcore should be: blunt, chaotic, full of mosh-inducing breakdowns and excessive to the point of ridiculousness. Second only to Cryptic Slaughter’s 1986 debut, Convicted, this is easily the most over-the-top chunk of caterwauling/pterodactyl vocals, Napalm Death-worthy, trouncing beats and guitar riffs that aren’t sure if they want to be thrash or punk since. In essence, it is definitive crossover; it has a constant internal conflict, bandying between the two genres and thereby producing some truly expedient, hostile and destructive tunes in the process. That is, when it doesn’t seem on the verge of total collapse, which it frequently threatens. If great art is the direct result of insanity, Eating Glass needed to be locked up before they were born." (Keith Carman)

EG with FU, TT & AF...FYI.

Hey, Eating Glass just got added to Saturday night's (November 1st) show at Dees (9:00-9:20), with Fucked up, Iron Age, The Endless Blockade & Hatred Surge. Doors are 8PM and $12. They're playing with Trap Them & Surroundings at the Casbah (Hamilton) on November 7th, and with Agnostic Front and the Carrier at the Kathedral (Toronto) on November 16th. Do it to it. 

Fed To The Vultures!

Wicked. The records are out, on all kinds of colours. Get them from the band, from me, online from No Idea or on Itunes. Those guys also have some limited release show edition alternate covers, and a cassette version of all their recorded songs to date. The shows this weekend were fucking awesome. Thanks heaps to Greg B and Stuck In The City for all the work he/they put into their shows.  I seriously was pretty out of touch with how good T.O. shows have been getting again, and this was the best possible wake-up call.  The whole night ruled, front to back. Molested Youth were pretty fucking good for a bunch of old dudes. Blackbirds were a bulldozer in the dark, lit entirely by cellphone lights. Crossroad brought the Wolverine Blues jams, mixing it up a bit. Let Down made everybody's Edge Day, EG tore the place apart, and some cock stud sang a Left For Dead song. 

Spencer's foyer went Full Retard last night. First there was something about a cheeseburger. Then Overpower had nervous neighbors picking their moment to cross through the wall of Oi, but then they covered some band called the Cro Mags (is that how you say it?) and it all broke loose (check them out Hallowe'en night at 751).  The Endless Blockade just fucking violated the spot and that's about when my ride had to split back to the city. But there's still the Kitchener house show tonight, and hopefully some more Eating Glass shows coming up a little further out of the Southern O. So keep posted HERE for EG news and grab this record before it's gone. Here in Toronto, Hits & Misses will have them today, and Rotate This should have them by mid-week. Stay sweet. Oh, and there's an EG interview from View Magazine HERE.

EG's set, which looked and felt exactly like this:

I Love You, Mailman.

So the records are here! Man, actually having records released at the record release shows, it's so crazy it just might work! So shit - come out to these!
