During the weekend we had it confirmed by Rich @ Seven Records that 'The First Two Years' will be released both physically and digitally on Monday 14th March 2011. All pre-orders of the record through the Seven Records website will automatically receive a brand new song via email. That song will be Blank Cities, which is currently in the running to appear on our second full length record which is due for release later this year. Of the four songs we already have recorded for the next record, it's the one that currently needs the least amount changed to it's current form. It's a simple, breathless melodic punk song, and listening to it takes me back to being fifteen and hearing '24 Hour Revenge Therapy' by Jawbreaker for the first time. Whereas the majority of the stuff we're writing at the moment sits heavily on the drop-D tuned, post hardcore side of the spectrum, Blank Cities serves as a bolt of simple, youthful exuberance among the more commonplace dirge. And that's no slight on the dirge, i'm all about the dirge, in fact i'll have you know that i am an otherwise forceful architect in our tireless pursuit of the dirge!
Chris Morgan wants to do another desk mix of Blank Cities before the offer of the pre-order/free download goes live on the Seven Records site, we're hoping to have a new mix by this weekend, upon reciept we will give it a once over before thorwing it over to Rich who will put the whole deal up as soon as physically possible.
So yeah, on Monday 14th March 2011, The First Two Years will be released out into the wild.
