Eulogy Recordings will release new "Blue Romance" EP from Kid Gorgeous

shekinah.apedo@gmail.com (Shekinah Apedo) — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 20:06:51 PST

Eulogy Recordings is very proud to announce that we will be releasing new material from Kid Gorgeous.

Kid Gorgeous, hailing from Buffalo, NY, features current and ex-members of Buried Alive, Anterrabae and Every Time I Die. While early inceptions of the band had several lineup changes before their first release, the quintet ultimately comprised of vocalist Erik Boccio, guitarists John McCarthy and Steve Micciche, bassist Justin Cuviello and drummer Jesse Muscato.

Kid Gorgeous' buzz and energetic live show caught the attention of Uprising Records, where the band would release two full-lengths. In 2001, the band wrote and released "Friday Night Knife Fight," a 10 song onslaught showcasing their dissonant/noise off-time song structure and Boccio's lyrical prose. Extensive touring followed and helped Kid Gorgeous build a name for themselves as one of the up and coming bands in the hardcore scene.

When time came to write the 2nd full length, the band lost bassist Cuviello, then soon after lost guitarist Micciche to the band Every Time I Die. Now a four piece with the addition of bassist Ryan Besch, the 2003 release of "This Feeling Gets Old" saw the band streamlining their sound; a little more melodic but not sacrificing any musical brutality. They continued touring throughout that year until personal interests forced the group to disband and play their final show on Nov. 1st, 2003 with Snapcase and Every Time I Die.

In the fall of 2010, Micciche and Muscato expressed an interest in getting the band back together and started writing new songs to record. With Boccio returning on vocals, Kid G recruited former Every Time I Die bassist Aaron Ratajczak and new guitarist Gene Zdybowicz. The band entered GCR studios in Buffalo, NY to record an EP with Jay Zubricky entitled "Blue Romance." The release doesn't stray far from the Kid G formula...aggressive, melodic, heavy. "Blue Romance" features 3 new tracks, a re-recorded classic and a cover. Look for its release soon and for Kid G to be playing some shows in support this coming year.

Official Statement from Rise Records' DECODER regarding upcoming changes.

shekinah.apedo@gmail.com (Shekinah Apedo) — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 17:14:59 PST

We recently decided to part ways with our vocalist, Spencer Pearson, due to recurring issues with drugs and alcohol that reinforced a lack of effort and poor performance on his behalf. It wasn't easy, but it was necessary. After many long talks to try and get him to clean up his act on and off stage it began to get too out of hand. As a band friendship is first and foremost, but you can only be a friend to someone with those problems for so long until you become apart of the problem by allowing it to continue. After an unprovoked attack by Spencer Pearson towards me that resulted in me getting 27 stitches he swore he would change his ways and it was irresponsible of us to believe him and not help him seek the care he needs. A few days later into the tour the same issues started up and we decided it would be best of he went home. Unfortunately our van ended up breaking down and we had to drop the rest of the tour. We are going to take the time to regroup and reinvent ourselves. When we return we won't be the same Decoder you are familiar with. With all we have been through together since the formation of this band we know nothing will stop us and we have always remained positive and light-hearted even in the worst of situations. I've never known a group of people more positive then these 4 people I share my everyday with. Also, to fill everyone in, Anthony Sepe was a touring guitarist and wasn't on the album and he left to join another band and we love and support him and you should to because he is a great guy. As a band and as friends we are more excited than ever for our future and the future of this band. Expect changes and expect big things.

Short update from Saosin

shekinah.apedo@gmail.com (Shekinah Apedo) — Tue, 31 Jan 2012 16:09:07 PST

"We are working on a NEW release. I wont say its for everyone , but its something we have been wanting to do for a LONG time. We will release more details in the form of MUSIC, since thats really what we do. But in the meantime, an interesting read from TRENT RENZNOR. We have gone from self-released , to Major label bread winners, to tax write offs and back to independence and this may shed a little light on what being an ARTIST in the music industry today feels like."
