March 2nd to the 10th we spent in queens new york with dean baltulonis of wild arctic. We recorded 12 tracks to be released on reaper records most likely in june. It was cool to work with dean again, as we recorded "stay cold" with him a year prior. Our main homie sacred reggie held us down relentlessly with a place to stay. Shout outs to his roommate who we kept awake through out the night when he most likely had work in the morning. Our bad.
Have heart, polar bear club, tui tour -
So far this has been one of my top favorites to date. The individuals in all the bands are great. Easy to get along with. The shows have been mayhem. Maxed out rooms, way diverse crowds, and everyone is going off for every band. On the way from montreal to toronto today we decided to make a quick stop at a casino, with one condition - 500 dollars on black. No other bets whatsoever. The dealer had to get the ok from her manager. He permitted the bet. him and some security watched as we rolled out screaming and yelling with 500 extra casino bucks. One of the coolest moments of my life. Fuck the system
the rest of the tour was tons of fun. dudes in have heart and polar bear club have proved to be some of my favorite dudes to tour with. hopefully we get the chance to do it again
someone in traverse city caught "soul vice" and "tui" which will be featured on the lp. despite a "no stage diving" rule, the show was a good time -
UNITED BLOOD FEST in richmond was too good. im sorry for anyone that missed it. as i had predicted, bad seed had one of the top craziest sets. unfortunately our van broke down in richmond and it's still there, somewhere. hit us up if you know any sweet mechanics in rva.
May 8th we leave for europe with terror. Born from pain, and stick to your guns. Look forward to seeing some euro homies.
- Trapped Under Ice
- Hailing from the port city of Baltimore, Maryland comes the war-mammoth known as Trapped Under Ice, who proudly inherit and build upon the mantle of their predecessors Next Step Up and Gut Instinct. Compound this with the sonic territories explored by New York bands such as Crown Of Thornz and Breakdown, and the intent of the outfit becomes obvious—total aural brutality. Following their inception in 2007, a 5-song demo was quick to follow. That demo was also released as an EP on Flatspot Records. Hearing those songs, the crew at Reaper Records approached the band with a deal to release what would become known as the Stay Cold EP. The EP contains 6 tracks of unrelenting hardcore reality. The chill is in the air, and attack is imminent.
