fest weekend + new merch + maritimes tour.

screamo pride month begins in 5 days.

small things coming soon in boxxy world. some news:

• new friends fest is less than a week away and we're pretty excited. you can see us play next sunday (august 2nd) with, in order: underwater basket weaving, coup d'état, gros enfant mort, poetry of torch, joliette, quiet fear, ostraca, commitment, tomb mold, clay birds & portraits of past. we're on 3rd after coup d'état.
• we've got some new shirts that we'll have ready in time for it and you can see the designs for all of them below.
• we have a new song on this year's fest comp, entitled Doomed From the Start; it's called "raptured" and we'll put it up online some time after fest is over.
• before august is over, we'll also have a new tape documenting some songs we recorded for the lovely people at met radio (cjtm 1280 am) this past january. we played 4 new songs (including "raptured") and an oldie, so if you'd like a sneak peek at what we're sounding like these days, look out for a post on that sooner or later. our sincere thanks goes out to delphine winton for putting up with our antics that day, letting us try too many takes of one song in particular, and for doing a great job capturing a packed set-up.
• aaaaand finally: we're touring up to the maritimes and back with our dear friends in body nest at the end of august. this'll be the farthest we've ever been from home as a band, so we're more than a little nervous to be actually gone for more than a couple of days, but we're very stoked, and we hope we can represent our city as best as we can. we'll have more details and a poster with all the dates up as soon as we can (probably after fest)—you can get a rough idea of the route via the "upcoming shows" widget (visible to your right on desktop, and viewable on mobile if you select the "view web version" option below this post and zoom in a bit).
