Adam Caine, our bro and a bro-down guitarist, has a new website, which is linked to right.

Joe and i and other Members of the Order travelled to D.C. this past snowy weekend to see a reunion show by Hoover, one of our absolute favorite bands. The show was everything we could have hoped for, with almost all the music from both their lone L.P., The Lurid Traversal of Route 7--a Stay Fucked five-star, gold-crown motherfucker, and their s/t E.P being rendered. brutal, passionate and severely in-the-pocket music. looks like they'll be playing more shows and possibly writing and recording new stuff, so... you gotta go and see.

new High on Fire is, of course, heavy, but i gotta say, it bores the shit out of me. it's EXTREMELY generic, which is i guess what people would want out of a band like that (i.e. pure Sabbath worship), but i just find it uninspiring. Big Business, on the other hand, is the real deal, emanating whiffs of the future and of the best elements of Sabbath and good melodic stuff. as i always say, it's about the songs, baby. watch for more singing in Stay Fucked, by the way. new Behold... the Arctopus hurts my head like looking at a pinwheel; i barf from motion-sickness, but i feel so pure and invigorated afterwards.

again, 2/26 is showtime and the date to beat. watch it.

hello. so, this is the date to save: Saturday, 2/26/05. that night we'll be playing our first show in over a year at The Yeti, our friends' loft in Williamsburg (N. 8th and Havemeyer or so). joining us will be Behold... the Arctopus, who are gearing up to release an incredible new e.p. on Vothoc/Troubleman, and Face!, an excellent, brutal and tuneful rock band featuring Ben and Tony from Archaeopteryx. you can check out these bands by following links to the right. there will be one more band involved, but we're waiting on a confirmation.

our new bass player Ben is working out beautifully and is helping us work out a Melvins cover among other things.

George Boorujy has granted us permission to use his artwork to promote this show. check out his page as well (link to the right).
