We are pretty stoked to announce that a coalition of White Russian Records, FunTime Records, No Panic Records and Laserlife Records will be releasing our newest record called “Rise To The Occasion on a 10″. The record contains 4 songs and an etch on the b-side and will be available at our release-show on april 27 at the ACU in Utrecht.
Off course this one’s recorded by our own Nico, artwork by Florian Krijt. You can listen to the first song ‘Billion Dollar Baby’ here:
Last weekend we finished the recordings of our upcoming 7″. Right now we’re mixing n’ mastering and guess what? In two weeks we will hit the studio again to record newer songs for another release. We want you like we want our guitars: stay tuned!
Next week we’re gonna record new stuff. Oohlala!
The western world objects democratic elected leaders if they don’t match their politics, but today in The Netherlands there are millions of idiots wearing orange and celebrating our new king, born to be the new head of state. Can somebody call the United Nations Security Council we’re under attack? Thanks! Better news: we will be playing two shows with Venerea and The Ignored on September 13th in Ieper, Belgium and September 15th, Nijmegen, The Netherlands. First hometown Nijmegen show in three and a half years!
It have been 3 long years missing you people. That’s why we’re putting the band back together. Our hearts are still burning, our fingers are itchy and man, our blood is boiling! We’re gonna do our first show at our 10 year anniversary on April 5th at ACU in Utrecht. Oh yeah, we will probably record new stuff this year as well. Don’t tell us we didn’t warn you.
For the official statement, read below:
Nope, we’re not releasing an acoustic EP, we’re gonna quit. After more than 6 years of Smash The Statues, we’ll pull the plug. We’ve tried to get our individual input and ambitions to an equal level, but without succes. Although the decision was hard, it felt right to quit something beautiful instead of continuing something that you don’t feel like doing anymore. We still have some shows scheduled that we will still play, but in January 2010 we will play our final show in Nijmegen, The Netherlands.
