"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

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.
