We’ll be doing a radio interview on Seton Hall, New Jersey’s 89.5FM WSOU, this Monday around 6pm (give or take). For those of you out of range, go to www.WSOU.net and you can livestream from there.

Ressentiment Vinyl

Chris — Mon, 11 Apr 2011 15:11:05 +0000

So it looks like we won’t have copies of Ressentiment vinyl at the show. We were supposed to get 2 boxes but it seems that DHL may have lost one of them. We’re investigating and will keep you posted.

If you preordered by March 17th we’ll be shipping out your vinyl this week. If you ordered after that we’ll be shipping as soon as we find the missing box, or can get a new one from Germany.

We’re really sorry about the delay. If anyone who ordered after March 17th would like a refund, email us and we’ll take care of it. Thanks everyone.

A lot of people have been asking for lyrics, and sure, perhaps most of those folks didn’t pay for the record, but hey, they still may be good looking people, and you never say no to a good looking person. So here you go.

I’ll add the link to the media page next week when I redo a few other things on this site and our myspace page.

Feature and Review in Decibel

Chris — Fri, 29 Oct 2010 02:48:29 +0000

If you’ve read the last couple issues of Decibel you may have noticed a 1-page feature and a great review of ours. If you haven’t read them, here’s some scans.

Regarding the band merger…

East Of The Wall — Tue, 08 Dec 2009 06:24:12 +0000

So if you read the “official press release” you’ll know that East Of The Wall had a lineup change, but what this essentially means is that East Of The Wall and Biclops are one band. Who didn’t see this coming? Yes, we know this makes the history of our names now a college level class, but that’s kind of the point: we’re done with confusing people. We’re one collective, we have been for a while, and now we have one name.

The long and short of it was that we love Mike to death but he had other obligations, so Seth filled his throne. Chris was already leaning East Of The Wall songs to be the touring guitar player since Matt can’t tour, so when the drummer swap happened East Of The Wall was now in an interesting position. Effectively, the live East lineup was Biclops.

So we’ve thrown up our hands and said screw it. There’s no point in arbitrarily dividing our music into instrumental and vocal bands. We’ll still play instrumental music and music with vocals. The writing and local show lineup will be all five of us, but we’ll tour as a four-piece. We’ll probably have specific focuses for individual records going forward so as not to muddy the waters, but honestly it’s all uncharted territory, which is pretty exciting.

But enough abstraction. What does this mean in the short term? Well first of all we have split ep with Rosetta and Year Of No Light, which was just released by Translation Loss.

Next, you might recall that Biclops has a record fully recorded, which we have titled Ressentiment. This will be the first full-length release by the new East Of The Wall collective, via Translation Loss this summer.

Then in 2011 we’ll be releasing the first record written entirely by the new lineup. We have it almost halfway completed already, and the plan is to not leave any of our fans out to dry. Not to get too specific but we have a pretty big idea for a concept record that’ll span the breadth of everything we’ve done.

We’ll be touring the hell out of 2010, so check back with us soon.

long time no talk….

wow. we haven’t posted any sort of update in a long time. here goes:

-writing for the next full length is in full swing. we have 4 songs complete. we have seeds for 2 or 3 more. they rock really hard. if you’ve seen us live in the last few months you’ve heard one or two of these songs. hopefully we’ll be recording again later this year or early next year.

-you may have noticed that we haven’t really played many shows recently. me and brett were out on tour with biclops, which basically took the whole month of june out of the equation. since we’ve been back we’ve been focused on writing fresh jams. this will be changing soon though. we’re going to be looking to start booking shows again over the next few months. keep your eyes peeled for that.

-remember that split we recorded with rosetta and year of no light that we kept telling you was coming soon, except it never came? well, now it’s actually coming soon. i can’t give you too much detail at this point, but you’ll be hearing about this release very very soon. it has a new home and a new release format. it’s going to be mad sweet.

that’s all for now. i know it seems like we dissappeared, but we’re going to be back in a very big way very soon. thanks for paying attention in the meantime. cheers.
