updates about nothing (5/18/12)
Writing is going really well. we have lots and lots of different ideas and several completed songs. talking about some next level shit here. really looking forward to hitting the studio in August to record.
We’re debuting a new song at our next show, Wednesday May 23rd at BAR in New Haven. We’re playing with Reservoir and Aficionado who are both on tour. The show is FREE and 21+ and starts at 9 PM. so go, drink some beer, eat some pizza, and if you’re too young have your dad (or someone else’s dad, or your mom, etc) bring you.
June 22nd to 24th we’re doing a weekend with our friends in Matahari from Mass. Check out their music on bandcamp - http://matahari.bandcamp.com They dropped an excellent 7” on Get Young Records last summer.
Still working on our July midwest tour with Reservoir. booking is a bitch. when we have the shows we will announce them.
You may now return to your regularly scheduled Friday entertainment.
Updates
we have a few shows coming up in May that we are really stoked about, playing with some of our good friends and some legendary artists!
5/5 - Defeater, Code Orange Kids, Mountain Man, Manners @ Heirloom Arts Theatre, Danbury, CT
5/7 - Old Man Gloom, MGR @ The Space, Hamden, CT
5/23 - Aficionado, Reservoir @ BAR, New Haven, CT (free show!)
Thanks to everyone who came out to our Record Store Day matinee last weekend to party with us, Dagwood, Drug Church and Trollllort. It was a lot of fun and we hope to hang in the Guillotine again in the near future.
In the meantime, we are hard at work on a new record to be finished sometime in the near future. Who knows when, where and how it’ll be released? keep guessing, and we’ll keep writing.
Aficionado
Aficionado released their eponymous debut LP on No Sleep Records in July 2011. The album was recorded in March/April of 2011 with AJ Mogis at ARC Studios in Omaha, NE.
Drawing influence from an array of bands ranging from At the Drive-In, to Cursive, to the Hold Steady, Aficionado has a developed a unique style they are happy to call their own. With roots in punk rock, the band mixes organ, flute, and occasional horn arrangements into it’s unorthodox blend of indie-punk/post-hardcore.

Reservoir
Reservoir is a band from central Pennsylvania drawing influence from bands like Mineral, The Appleseed Cast, and American Football.

Heavy Breath
Heavy Breath is the sound of five (or six) friends making music together. Since early 2010, Heavy Breath has discarded formula and tradition in favor of making up the rules as they go along, creating a sound that has drawn comparisons to 108, Refused, Converge and others. They also like long walks on the beach and cuddling. And in the summer of 2012, they’ll be touring the midwest with Reservoir and working on a new record.

Tour was awesome.
Thanks to all the bands we played with, the promoters that booked us, and the friends that let us sleep on their floors/eat their food/drink their coffee. We will hopefully have a bit of footage up in the next couple of weeks.
Now is also a good time to recommend that you check out Reservoir from York, PA. They will be coming through CT again in a couple of months and are the best dudes. http://reachthetracks.bandcamp.com
