Forget Gucci - I wear the Alabama collection exclusively!

Hello kiddies!

Does this image look like a metal band inviting you to a release party? Nope! I told you that this event will be something extra...

Speaking of out-of-the-ordinary - I would like you all to check out the brilliant support act we've chosen for the release party - DICEMBER. A bunch of young, talanted locals guys from Västerås, Sweden.

If you have a minute to spare, visit their myspace: http://www.myspace.com/dicember1


The Question of today

- Why the hell do bands/artists put endless of hours in designing a great promo package/album cover when they don't even print the bands name on the CD? Nil, zip, nada information at all. To tell you the truth...it takes 1,54 seconds for a CD to land on the desk and being mixed up with all the other "unmarked" CDs we receive.

Imaging if we are blown away by the music and want to sign the band/artist on that particular CD. Hmmm...who are these guys? Anyone remembering what promo package this CD came from? No? Ok, too bad...

So, for the very last time.
What ever you do - always write your name, e-mail or telephone number ON THE CD! Use a frikking pen if you don't have a label! We couldn't care less about any fancy bio sheets if we don't know who's playing on the CD!

So, do we agree on this? Good!

Did you know that our merchandise actually sell? Surprised? We were :) It seems like our modest collection of logos and skulls seems to be rather popular. So thanks to everyone who actually think it is cool to wear our logo on their belly!

Darren Partridge, thanks for asking but our Tees doesn't come in yellow yet. Buy a black one and I am sure your wife will fancy your new rockier style ;-)
