Believe it or not, updating a website with tidbits of info isn’t always the easiest to do.  In fact, we are down right terrible at it.  But what matters at the moment is that we have an update for you…

SCISSORFIGHT SHOWS
Scissorfight is on tour in the UK and Europe at this very moment with their UK brethren in Dukes of Nothing. Scissorfight’s new cdep “Potential New Agent For Unconventional Warfare” will be in stores on November 26th 2002. The US version has 5 new tracks and the European version contains those 5 tracks plus the bonus German version of New Hampshire’s Alright If You Like Fighting.  The Euro version will be out in January. Upon their return from the United Kingdom, the sexiest band alive hits the road in the US as direct support for Clutch throughout the East coast. Four new Scissorfight releases are in the developmental stages at the present…new stuff, old stuff, live stuff, and remix stuff….more news to follow.

5ive’s Continuum Research Project is the official name for the band formerly known simply as 5ive. As a precautionary move, the band made the change so as not to cause any sort of confusion with the British pop band of the same moniker. We understand that confusing the two groups seems outright foolish, but we best be safe rather than sorry, eh? 5ive’s dynamic new CDEP comes to store nationwide on November 26th. “The Hemophiliac Dream” consists of one new, quite lengthy and thoroughly satisfying, track and a bonus James Plotkin remix. The band is scheduled to hit the UK in early December as part of a Rock Sound sponsored tour with Hydra Head recording artists Knut.  In other 5ive related news, Ben Carr, the guitarist figure of the group, has begun his own subsidiary through Tortuga Recordings. Odd Halo Recordings’ debut release, Theory of Abstract Light, was written and recorded by Ben over the last year and stands as his label’s first foray into the world of releasing records.  TOAL is for the experimentally minded individuals of the experimentally inclined population.


Quitter has been holed up for the last month while recording the bands debut full-length release. Quitter doesn’t let the nectar leak until its ripe, so we don’t even have a clue what they’ve been working on.  Every strip club in New England has been asking for it so they must be doing something right. The band has recently parted ways with bassist Bob Maloney. Jon Lammi, the bands engineer for the full-length recording, has recently filled the spot.


Old Man Gloom kept teasing and teasing that they were going to record their new album, “Christmas”, but then they only sort of half did it. Turner, Newton and Montano locked themselves in a studio in MA with some guy named Ballou and proceeded to bust out 50% of the single most influential OMG gift since, well, the last OMG release. OMG III has recently been released on LP in Europe through Trust No One, OMG II and III will be release on CD in Japan at some point in the future through Ritual Records and talks are progressing for LP versions to arrive in the states through before long.


In other news, our operations have made their way to California. In cahoots with the Hydra Head camp, we’ve set up our first satellite office in the smoggy yet consistently warm environs of Los Angeles.  Being LA’s best Boston rock label is actually quite easy since, well, we are.
