SUCIDAL TENDENCIES DVD TO BE RELEASED IN JANUARY
From frontman Mike Muir:
The band started getting emails from some crazy guy that always said, 'I know you'll probably think I'm crazy, but I'm not. I'm wanna book ST for a show and I got this idea...'. Well, one by one we shot down the 'unique' ideas until one time he emailed and said the Olympic Auditorium was being bought by a Korean Church. Shouldn't it be sent off with a special last gig? The band agreed and then the work began. The promoter -- Evel Dick Donato who went on to win Big Brother -- tells a bit about the show, making of etc. on the intro. Lots of drama, none more than the day before the show when I woke up and couldn't walk. But the show must go on and the back surgery would have to wait till afterwards. SUICIDAL recorded live at the Olympic Auditorium in front of 4,000 Cycos...but now you can enjoy it in the safety of your living room."

MEMBERS OF ANTHRAX, FALL OUT BOY AND EVERYTIME I DIE FORM SIDE PROJECT, THE DAMNED THINGS
The band is said to include Fall Out Boy guitarist Joe Trohman and drummer Andy Hurley; Every Time I Die vocalist Keith Buckley and Anthrax guitarists Scott Ian and Rob Caggiano. The group, whose lineup is rounded out by bassist David Karon, has reportedly written more than 15 songs and plans to hit the studio before Christmas to begin recording its debut album.
Trohman reportedly stated about The Damned Things: "Scott's right hand is the reason I got into playing punk rock, hardcore and metal! Having Keith as part of the mix is insane, we all know he writes incredible lyrics but he is also a really good singer. That is showcased in Every Time I Die, but we want him to go more into singing than screaming on this project."

QUESTION OF THE MONTH. NOVEMBER 23 2009

RULE GETS COURT REVIEW
Denver District Court Judge Larry Naves has scheduled a hearing Tuesday morning on state regulations limiting who can supply the drug to patients.
The state board of health temporarily narrowed the definition last week. But medical marijuana supporters are asking Naves to block those limits from taking effect, saying the state didn't give enough notice of the vote.
The question is about the definition of "caregiver" and who can supply marijuana to people who medically qualify to use the drug. It's unclear how long it will take Naves to decide whether to block the new rule.
The state health board is planning to make its final decision on Dec. 16.
CAVE IN 12" TO BECOME CD/DVD
Cave In's Planets of Old 12-inch EP will be released on CD/DVD on January 26, 2010. The release is expected to include the entirety of the limited 12-inch as well as a DVD featuring the band's reunion show from the Great Scott in Allston, MA this past July.
If you haven't heard it yet, it can be streamed here.

BANKROBBER TONIGHT:INFO
"I'm sure most of you know the details by now, but in case you didn't, just want to drop some info.
At the record release we are giving away 50 free 7"s to the first 50 to show up. Or maybe the first 40, and the other 10 to the first to get moshtastic. IDK. The record wasn't cheap to make, so this is a pretty good deal.
Anyway, The artwork was done by Jef Kopp from Th'ink Tank and the front looks like this:
The records are purplish black and silver...(go Rockies?) and will come with a free digital download card of the 7" (remastered) as well.
Most of you in Denver know that these songs have been floating around for a while, and probably already have some or all 6 songs. But the remaster is a much better mix in my opinion, and the record and artwork came out great, so I think its something worth having.
I got to admit I was bummed with the way shit was going for BANKROBBER for a few months. We basically recorded the record, got it mixed and mastered, got pumped on it, and then BAM!, MJ got in a car accident that kept up from being able to tour, much less release the record. Kind of the way things seem to work for us.(Big thanks to B. Howell for filling in so we could at least do some shows at Blast O)
Well I guess the shit happened for a reason, because right as we started looking into putting it out ourselves, Andrew from Runner Up Records hit us up and said he wanted to put it out. He said he was starting another label that he wanted to be more focused on hardcore. His other label put out 7" from the Shook Ones, and a lot of East Coast/Philly area bands as well, so we were stoked.
BANKROBBER is going to be his first release on Hydrogen Man Records. http://www.hydrogenmanrecords.com And it looks like the second will be a Swallowed Up/Black Kites split. Andrew was playing bass for Domino Theory, but has a new band called Bearings, that I like a lot, they've got a Fugazi vibe. Check em out here: http://www.myspace.com/bearingsphiladelphia
Anyway, I really am proud of the 6 songs on Vultures, and I'm glad the record is finally coming to a physical format, and hope everyones into it.
As for the record release, Sin Vida kicks it off. http://www.myspace.com/SinVidaCholoPunx
Before Were Done follow. http://www.myspace.com/bwddenver
Nothing to Nothing heavy Midwest HxC third. http://www.myspace.com/nothingtonothing
Then BANKROBBER. www.myspace.com/bankrobberhc
We got a fun little intro planned and then we will turn it up to 11. We were gonna do a cover, but like our new song so much we said fuck it and we're playing that instead.
If you can, repost this on your myspace, facebooks, whatever, and let's try and get a good vibe going for Friday. Bring a friend or 2. Hope to see you there." -G.

CHUCK BISCUITS IS ALIVE
And it seems it was all just a cruel, cruel hoax: legendary hard rock drummer Chuck Biscuits, whom this blog eulogized Tuesday after receiving a death notice that allegedly came from his wife, is apparently still among the living.
“I just wanted to let you know that Chuck [Biscuits] is alive and as well as can be expected,” said Bob Montgomery, Chuck’s brother, in an e-mail sent to the author earlier today. “I drove to his home in Seattle [from Canada] to confirm that fact.”

B9 TO RE-ISSUE VICTIM IN PAIN
Agnostic Front and Bridge Nine Records have teamed up to re-release the legendary albums, Victim In Pain & United Blood , nationwide on November 17th. To help Agnostic Front commemorate their 25th year since the original release of their debut album, "Victim In Pain", we've put together a proper re-issue, along side their first EP, 1983's "United Blood".
Victim In Pain has been given extra special treatment, with a gatefold LP cover, complete with a dirty gold metallic ink & embossed logo & title. The gatefold opens up to the original handwritten layout of the first pressing, and later censored original cover is printed full size on the front and back of the dust sleeve.
United Blood has a similar metallic ink & embossed logo front cover, and also has the original cover design printed in black and white on the enclosed dust jacket.
Gold vinyl is the limited color, and comes first come, first serve with each package deal. Packages include a 12"x18" poster & a limited edition Agnostic Front - Victim In Pain t-shirt. Both are also available to the first few people who elect to grab the "all 3" or "all 6" vinyl package deals. Orders will ship prior to street date, which is November 17th. Pre-orders are available today, so get your copy NOW!
NEWS: BANKROBBER
"So we had a bit of a hectic month so far. Putting out this record has proved to be a bit of a challenge as well as scheduling shows around the unpredictability of our guys. So here is the happenings as of 10/20/2009. The records have been approved and should be getting pressed and sent to us within the next week or two. After some last minute changes with the artwork, Jef Kopp delivered, as promised, one sick piece of album art. The art has been scanned and will be landing in the hands of Andrew, our new label guy by thursday. Andrew has Runner Up records to his credit with some rad releases and is starting a more Hardcore focused label with our 7" being his first release. This has taken a ton of stress off of this record for us. I believe he settled on Hydrogen Man Records, hydrogenman.tumblr.com/ And is also releasing a split with Swallowed Up and Black Kites. Andrew has been nothing but supportive and helpful through out this process.
As for shows, we had to bail on the Death Before Dishonor, Steel Nation show on the 26th of this month due to scheduling conflicts and are very bummed to have done so. I want to apologize and thank Memphis from DBD for his efforts getting us on this. Also, a big thanks to Rebel Force for swapping shows with us so we could play with Rise and Fall, and Creatures on the 21st. You dudes saved our asses this month. And another big thank you to Mark from C-Ways for letting this foolishness take place, I swear the bands on that flier changed at least 5 times. So the plan right now is to have our record release show on November 6th with Nothing To Nothing and some great locals who are still TBA. We will be giving out records during this show only so do yourselves a favor and be there.
That's all I can think of.
Jesus isn't real."

xxx ALL AGES xxx TRAILER
From the director:
This is the latest promo clip for the film that I am currently directing, which carries the working title is "XXX All Ages XXX" (Where Boston Hardcore Began). Unlike some of the other films that have been released regarding this particular era that center on the guys in the bands, this one focuses on the social aspect of the scene from 1981-1984. Some of the subjects that the film concentrates on are: Community, Communication, The DIY ethic of the time and of course Straight Edge.

HAPPY EDGE DAY
The medium of the holiday is the attendance of local shows done by (mainly hardcore) bands who also identify themselves with being straight edge. It will be entering its 10th year in 2009. The first annual National Edge Day was celebrated on October 17, 1999 at the final Ten Yard Fight concert at the nightclub Karma in Boston, Massachusetts. The concert also featured the bands Bane, In My Eyes, Reach the Sky and Floorpunch.
This show marked the end of the 1990s youth crew revival, but arguably starting a new chapter in straight edge by creating an observable holiday in the community. Since then, every year there has been a local show in the Boston area that has been the celebrated Edge Day show. If the 17th doesn't fall on a weekend, the Edge Day show usually falls on the Saturday before or after the 17th.
