Tour Recap/Cut Short news

-Tour was cool. Could've been better, could've been a lot worse. Thanks to all the promoters who set shit up, anyone who helped us out/hung out with us, and anyone that checked us out.
-Planning on hitting the South this winter. Two weeks. No more info/anything as of now.
-Recording this week for the split with Burdens. Don't know who is putting it out or when, but we'll have at least one song up soon.




There are a ton of new bands popping up (Dinocrisis[they are chaning their name, thank god], Humanity, Doubledealer, I think Sharpshooter may end up doing stuff again, Full of Hell), so check them all out. There are at least two Cut Short side projects happening soon, so stay tuned for those.

Support DE Hardcore.

The first two dates do not include Burdens.

Aside from tour, we have a few shows...
5.30.09 The Barn - Allentown, NJ w/ Worlds, Too Late, Real Talk
6.06.09 Newark Night(TOTALLY FREE OUTDOORS SHOW) - Newark, DE w/ Dead And Buried
6.07.09 The Harmony Grange - Wilmington, DE w/ This Is Hell, Burdens
6.27.09 Cauflield Barn - Wilmington, DE w/ Algernon Cadwallader, Crucial Dudes, etc
8.09.09 LFM Garage - Forked River, NJ w/ The Golden Age, No Harm Done, Offsides, Worlds

A lot more other shows will also be added over the next few weeks. We're going to be super active this summer since we probably will be up to little to nothing over the period of the fall.

Despite this last note, in the fall we will be putting out a split 7" with Burdens with two new songs on it. There will be more info on this as the release approaches.

self-titled 7" out now/we need shows

New 7" is out. Anyone wanting a digital copy to review for their zine/blog/website can email us at:

xcutshortx@gmail.com

To clear something up in the liner notes, we thanked Max Davis for 'being our spiritual advisor.' This was strictly sarcastic, and we are pretty much a band of heathens. No Jesus No Beast (Immolation, get into it).

We need shows. NJ, DE, MD, NY, VA. Week long mini-tour in JUNE/JULY with Burdens. Split later this year with them. We'll be finishing up the drums and guitar on both tracks in the next few weeks. Hoping to start playing them around early june, record them that month, and have the split on vinyl in time for a Halloween release... the Halloween release was my dorky idea that I haven't cleared with anyone else. Slayer cover rip maybe? Jared from Burdens would be into that.

Cut Short 7" news

Those are our test presses. They play great. Approval has already been sent. Sorry but you can't get one.

Now for my portion of this thing.

We're scrambling to get everything ready for the record release. Hopefully we'll be playing with our new guitarist, but depending on how many practices we manage to get in between now and then, we may or may not. Definitely by the 15th.

Since I'm out of a job right now, I've had nothing but time on my hands. Finally refinished my guitar cab, and even wrote three new songs... Only one has Tyler's seal of approval (aka, drums written) so far, but we hope to be playing a few new ones come sometime in May. At least two of these tracks will end up on our split due out this fall (hopefully some sort of nerdy Halloween release?).

I don't have much else to say, except "see all of you on April 10th/15th." We've got a special cover for each of those shows, so make it out to both. I severely doubt you'll ever see them more than once.

March...

March has been a quiet month for us, for the most part. We should be officially adding our 2nd guitarist Jeff (you probably know him as Buff, don't take that too seriously, nice dude, not buff at all) before the record release... He's been working on getting our material down, but unfortunately we recently lost our practice spot. We're struggling to practice anywhere that we can.

We were hoping to have our record before the release, but seeing as its almost two weeks away and we still don't have our test presses, we've lost hope of it. We'll be selling the CDR version of it to anyone who wants it, and we'll get you a copy of the record as soon as it comes in... Its kind of depressing, and feels like the fates are against us, but what else can we do?

After seeing the Sound and Fury lineup (or only half of it) announced, we're talking about touring out for it. Shows out, shows there, shows back. Enjoying S&F in the midst of that. We'll see.

I'm currently working out THREE new songs, however I seriously doubt they'll see the lights of day before June or July. No point in playing new songs that won't be recorded till later this year when we're just now releasing material we've been playing for months.

Hopefully some big things and big announcements soon.


See everyone at our record release,

p.s - Strength for a Reason got added to our release show.

Yeah

Its February, and damn is it cold. Month and a half till our record release. Hopefully the weather will be nicer by then.

We've got some cool stuff planned for the record release (two cover songs, the entire EP, and a song from the demo), and even an after party for those lucky enough to RSVP... Word on the street is that a cover set will be happening at said party... Something about an old punk band and black bars as logos? Whatever the hell that means.

I've got a new song in the works. Hopefully that will get finished and ready for everyone's ears sometime after the record release.


p.s, big news coming soon. All I can say is "Festival," "Ohio," and "Ringworm."
p.p.s, Garrett was interviewed by http://www.ureatinpizza.blogspot.com its worth the read.
