Recording is done!

Recording is all done! We finished vocals today at Mr. Laughton's house and everything sounds so rad already. All we have to do now is piece everything together and we're all good to go.

And speaking of good to go, this release will only be available on CD format. I know i said vinyl as well but we just don't have the funds for releasing both formats right now. Instead, we will be getting some shirts made up for tour, so look out for that. Once i have the official designs that we decide to use (one for a black shirt and one for a white), i'll post them on here. As far as getting vinyl out, we already have another project that we will begin working on after we're done tour. A collaboration with St. Gilles for a "planned" vinyl format only release.

That's it for right now.

Take care,

Recording update and Punch weekend. Sorry... i don't have any inside jokes to use as a title.

So, we are done almost done recording. I know i said that i'd have pictures or videos and what not, but we got lazy. We do, however, only have vocals left to record and then we are done! I know that recording is kind of a must if you're actually trying to get somewhere other than playing shows in a garage (though basement shows will always be a blast!), but i really can't stand recording. Both Calvin and Steve have been working hard and i am grateful but i find the whole process so stressful, and if you've been around me in stressful situations, you'll know that's not the best place for me. Though, through all of this, we are going to have some really great sounding tracks to share so its all worth it.

Anyways, Punch, hailing from San Francisco, will be playing some shows in Edmonton and Calgary on July 12th and 13th respectively, and we are lucky to be playing both shows with our good friends in Hominid. Here are the posters for both shows. Be there!

I'm trying to do CSI... ... frozen.

Well, we've been hard at work recording and have finished drums and guitar, the two most stress full instruments in my opinion. Everything is sounding so fucking awesome. A huge thanks to Calvin and Steve for their time and effort and for having to deal with my shitty temper when playing the same damn song for the 11Th time. Bass and vocals are next, then we may have some rough, unmixed stuff to throw on myspace, and then eventually the finished product available on cd and vinyl.



Also, here is the poster for our show with Snic, Rotbottyrot, and G.W. Peaks on June 30Th. Yeah, i know, no minors, but if you are of age its free. I mean, its fucking Snic. Why would you pass that up?



Take care,

Live Performances. Please Attend.

We're playing some great shows at the end of June and beginning of July.
Here is the poster for our show with ANS on July 6TH.



Also, we are playing our first 18+ show with Rotbottyrot on June 30Th. I'll post show info as soon as i can get it

And finally, we are heading into the studio on Friday. I'm very excited to get some good quality recordings done. When we have something to show, perhaps some unmastered material, I'll upload it on our myspace. You can also expect updates, pictures, etc etc to be posted on here as well.

That's it for now, take care,

The rhythm is in my blood maaan!

First off, a big thanks to Electro Quarterstaff for coming down to play, Nate for putting on the show, and everyone who came. EQ was fucking nuts!

The Calgary Ruiner/Braindead show is a no go, but they will be playing Edmonton on the 28Th. Though we are not playing, come hang out with us anyways and support some bands on the road.

We are heading into the studio on June 13Th to start recording our first record. Depending on how long it turns out to be, it will either be a 10" or 12" record. It will also be available on CD, but not until we get the records, as we would like to release everything at the same time. We'll throw some tracks on myspace when we get them done to show exactly what to expect, and to replace the crappy demos we have up currently.

Are next booked show is July 6Th with A.N.S (from Texas), High Jinks, Thrashtic Fibrosis, and Tarantuja. The show is happening at Avonmore Hall (7902 73 Ave) and it starts at 8. I don't know how much it costs yet, but it'll probably be something between $8 to $10. Also, there should be a poster soon with all the show info.

That's it,
