CMAR 2012

IS SOLD OUT.

Thread.

+++ Ampere/Raein 7" Split +++

Ampere posted on their blogspot a few weeks ago that they are recording a split currently with legendary euro screamo band Raein.

We began recording three new songs on Monday (1/2/12) for a split 7" with our buds in RAEIN. I should have taken a cool this is us recording drums picture, but didn't. Regardless, it's underway.... more exciting updates to follow....
Everyone knows how incredibly great both bands are, and how diligent and prolific Will Dandy of Ampere is. Something to definitely watch out for in the new year.

Adorno - Year 2 Discography Pre Order

Shove Records is doing something pretty cool!

and here's our surprise for the new year.... I am really glad, 'cause among our releases I finally do have ADORNO, a Portuguese group I've been in contact with for many years
this is intro in their myspace to describe this awesome guys "We are 4 kids split in half by a river between Lisbon and Almada. Just put some friendship, punk-diy and some delay pedals on the boat plus the motivation to keep sailing to have some fun and meet new places"

...we've been trying to do something together for a couple of years and at the end we made it...
infact will go soon at the pressing plant the second part of their discography and it will be ready by mid of February, under the name of YEAR 2.
the first part of their discography was only released on CD (on protagonist and we love pandas), but now the second part of their rich discography will see the light on vinyl+cd included.
and will be including the following:
Said and Unsaid 7" (released on adagio830, pure pain sugar)
split with Sugartown Cabaret 12" (released on communication is not words, emergence, agonia)

Not Skramz - Singer of ACxDC needs YOUR help


This is my daughter Savina (Azellea in the background). Savy has to have heart surgery and it's going to cost a lot. If you'd like to help you can donate via PayPal at sergioamalfitano@yahoo.com or buy ACxDC albums on our bandcamp (ACxDC.bandcamp.com) or buy some merch well be making or attend some benefit events in the upcoming months. It would mean a lot if you could spread the word. Any support is much appreciated.

Refused Reunion - ATD-I Confirmed

Yeah, this is getting out of hand. Refused is on the Coachella 2012 line-up along with At the Drive-In, which is kind of aggravating, but hopefully both bands do very ridiculous things at the shit show festival.

Read their (uh) communique here.
Talk about it on TEH FORUMS here.

Refused - Rather Be Dead (Who doesn't know the lyrics?)


Also, what do you think about this whole situation? Do you think Refused should be doing this by playing festivals or are they just too big for smaller venues? Similar questions with At the Drive-In... Also, does this mean that Ryan Gosling will eventually be introduced to skram gods Loma Prieta and join the CMHWAK community? Do you think he already lurks?

At the Drive-In Reunion?

In a weird turn of events, At the Drive-In's twitter account has become active and their webpage (which is totally being unavailable at times) posted "¡ ATTENTION ! To whom it may concern: AT THE DRIVE-IN will be breaking their 11 year silence THIS STATION IS …NOW…OPERATIONAL." At the Drive-In's fans are now jumping in delight (I am one of them). What could this mean? Probably participation at 2012's Coachella festival, which is a huge fucking bummer, but perhaps an awesome tour will accompany this. Is Jim Ward in on this?

For Want Of + Adobe Homes. West Coast Tour

The good and amazingly awesome dudes in For Want Of & Adobe Homes. are touring the west coast currently, hitting up places such as Pomona (CA), Eugene (OR), Santa Rosa (CA), and Las Vegas (NV). I failed them drastically by not getting them a show on Jan 14th, but you can still probably help them out. At any rate, check them out. Adobe Homes. posted some pretty cool pictures of their new shirts (1 & 2) on their facebook page and For Want Of posted tracks from their new (and fucking awesome) album (Smoke) on soundcloud. Woo Hoo!
LinkHere's the facebook page with tour info (there's also a thread on the forums that's more in depth and with some awesome flyers).

Chaos in Tejas 2012 (& the one time only reunion of Moss Icon)

So unless you don't have a facebook or tumblr, or reach out to other forums (cmhwak thread), then you haven't seen this:

Moss Icon is in there somewhere, actually right by Best Coast (oh hell yeah), click the picture and it'll enlarge. So what does this mean? It means that Moss Icon is reuniting at Chaos in Tejas 2012 for a supposed one time deal. If you thought American Nightmare reuniting was totally cool, then get bent man, Moss Icon is back (for one day/night only).

More info at the Chaos in Tejas website and facebook.

**Also, considering Ryan Gosling made an appearance at the American Nightmare shows, who do you think will show up the Moss Icon/Chaos in Tejas 2012 experience?
