So here’s some of what we have coming out for the rest of this year. Many thanks to all the labels and friends who are making these things possible.

Split 7″ w/ Flamingo 50 - Out this fall on Ernest Jenning Records. Flamingo 50 is a fantastic band from the UK that everyone needs to go listen to right now.

Songs About People…And Fruit n’ Shit - Brand new 8-song EP out on Don Giovanni Records this fall. It’s coming out on 12″ vinyl and either a drop card or CD too.

who does your artwork?

Lauren — Sat, 23 Feb 2008 16:03:18 +0000

We keep the same visual style for all our records and sometimes folks ask about who makes all that stuff. While Fid is the idea man, I’m the one who puts it all together. I have a site up with a lot of my work, most of which is for sale, and I’m also available to do artwork on a comissioned basis. I’ve done work for a lot of different bands and labels but love doing drawings for people specifically, so don’t hesitate to ask. I do a lot of design work too, it’s all on my site. All proceeds go to the Help The Measure Go On Tour Fund.

pass it on!

TOUR!

March 6 - 16, coming to an east coast town near you. Now with Mikey back on drums!

new year, new records, new drummer

As we approach 2008 we’re getting ready to put out another two 7″s (a split with Blotto and another single) along with being on the Right to Assemble vol. 2 comp with a lot of great New Jersey bands. We’ve also had an exciting lineup change which was announced a couple weeks ago:

For those of you who have seen our past several shows, you probably noticed that Fid was playing guitar (instead of drums) and not Mike. Unfortunately, after three years playing together, Mike has chosen to move on from the band. The split is entirely amicable and while we are sorry to see Mike go, we understand that it is the best choice for him at this time. He recently joined the band Broom vs. the Combine and you should check them out here. Another member of Broom vs. the Combine, CJ Frederick, has recently joined us as our new drummer and Fid will continue on guitar and vocals. This is an exciting change and we are looking forward to writing our new album now with CJ on board. Since Mike’s departure, Mikey Erg has been filling in on drums (he is now in 1,365 bands). We are currently scheduled to record one of our newest songs, No Regerts, with him for an upcoming split with Blotto. The misspelling is intentional.

New Split with Off With Their Heads!

The Measure — Fri, 09 Nov 2007 03:04:51 +0000

A lot has happened over the past few months. We’ve put out another two 7″s and have more planned over the next couple months. Yes, another LP is in the works, and we’re starting to write new songs for that specifically. Check out the music section for more info on the 7″s. They can be found through online distros like Interpunk, No Idea, and RevHQ as well as from us at shows.

OFF WITH THEIR HEADS / THE MEASURE [SA]

The Fest was a blast so thanks to everyone who was able to make it out to our show there and cram into 1982 to watch us play. The entire weekend was amazing and it was great to see so many familiar faces.

Go check out Razorcake since we were on the cover over the summer! Many thanks to Todd Taylor
for being awesome and liking us, for some reason, and to Mitch Clem for doing that fantastic drawing of us.
