Forstella FordTaken from an email from the FF mailing list:"There have been a lot of rumors going around regarding the status of our band. The official status is that we are on an indefinite hiatus. For all intents and purposes, we are broken up, but when and if it is possible, we will tour and/or record. What is everyone up to? Well, I (Mark) have moved to Texas. My girlfriend Jessica moved to Milwaukee last year so that we wouldn't have to be apart, even though she owned a house down in Texas. When it was decided that the band was going to be taking a break, the obvious choice was for us to move back into her house so that she could finish school. Whether or not we will stay in Texas once school is finished is up in the air. I'm very anxious to start playing music again, so it may take us somewhere else. We'll see. Whitney is going to concentrate on finishing up school. What he may venture into musically, time will only tell. Dan is also working on finishing school, but is working on some new musical projects as well. Nick is also working on some new projects (with Dan, most likely). I will update the Forstella Ford web site will information pertaining to whatever musical endeavors any of the members partake in. Also, for the record, our previous guitarist Jim is playing bass in the great Milwaukee band Members of the Yellow Press. To my knowledge, they don't have a web site, but you should check them out if they come through your town." 2003-08-31 15:04:00 CST by XfraggleX

Underoath loses singer.Quotes from www.underoath777.com Hello everyone....I know the rumors have been flying and the drama has been thickening so I think it's time to straighten everything out. I first would like to apologize for the last minute cancellation of our warped tour dates as well as the From Autumn to Ashes show in Birmingham, AL. We had some band situations that needed direct attention and resulted in us having to go home. As far as the rumors of us breaking up go...they are not true. However Dallas , our singer , will be leaving the band due to personal issues. That's really all that I am at liberty to say. We have heard everything from he got his girlfriend pregnant, to people punching other people in the band and those are all entirely not true. We all love one another and have went our seperate ways with the intention of remaining friends. If anyone has any questions or would like to dispell any rumors, feel free to email me @ tim@underoath777.com. We don't have a replacement as of now and future tour and recording postponements will be updated as they get worked out. Thank all of you for the support and prayers and look forward to seeing you on the road as soon as possible....Tim and Underoath. All I can say is that this is a sad moment in the metal scene.2003-07-28 07:08:56 CST by XeyeslikeangelsX

Not Waving But Drowning Post-Break NewsFrom Justin Mank:
"hey guys and gals. justin here formerly of the band NOT WAVING BUT
DROWNING. I'm sure most of you have heard about break-up recently.
Calvin quit to go back to school and Jeff quit to join Open Hand. Todd
and I have throw around the idea of replacing them, but with Todd having a
second child due in January... that is very unlikely. If it does happen
sometime down the line, it probably wouldn't be a full time project like
it was the last 4 years. I recently joined the St Louis band A-440. I'm
going to be playing my first show with them on Thu Sept 19 at the Pageant
in St Louis with Unwritten Law and The Juliana Theory. Once we find a
fulltime drummer we plan on touring quite a bit. So, keep an eye out for
us soon hopefully. If anyone would like to try out for the drumming
position, just email me at jmank01@mail.win.org and I'll be sure to
respond back to you ASAP. Thanks as always for your support. Take care."

From Autumn To Ashes Hitches A RideStraight from Ferret Records:"Well here's something we were'nt expecting. From Autumn To Ashes broke down in Nashville (it's nice there). So, while their van is good to go and under warrenty it won't be fixed until Monday. Looking down the barrel of missing shows, losing bags of money and dissappointing kids we figured there must be a solution... and there is. Turns out that band Korn leaves for tour on Monday. The bus those rockers will be driving will be tainted by FATA for the next 4 days. Don't try and make sense of it. It's the result of what happens when 7 kids from long island, one booking agent from MA and one label fellow from NJ put their heads and cell phones and credit cards together." 2002-06-15 15:08:10 CST by doublebarreldisaster (source: ferret records)

differences. i am heart broken in trying to write this, but i wanted to send out a personal thank you to all of our fans. when i started hopesfall over four and a half years ago, i never dreamed that we would have gotten this
far. without you guys, we would have never achieved this level of success. i will miss playing to all of you, and more importantly i will miss hanging out with all of you. this band has been one of the best experiences of my
life. thank you to everyone that has ever supported us in any way. i will never forget your kind words of encouragement, and the good times we had rocking out together. each one of you has changed my life forever...and
i truly consider all of you my friends. please feel free to drop me an email (xspesheledx@hotmail.com), i would love to hear from some of you. by the way, i really hope all of you enjoy the new record when it comes out. i can

Candiria Cancels European TourCandiria is heading back to the U.S. after an aborted circuit of dates in West Germany with The Dillinger Escape Plan. A stalwart attempt by the band to hold fast in London in order to play two scheduled headlining dates sponsored by Kerrang Magazine in London became financially unfeasible and the band was forced to cut their losses and return to New York.
Lucky Candiria fans got to see the band on 5 headline dates across the U.K., including a London show at Camden Palace . Although Candiria joined The Dillinger Escape Plan tour with Rabies Caste for a successful show in The Netherlands, and another in Hannover, Germany, The Berlin gig proved to be the tour's undoing, with conflicting show times, lack of
promotion and ultimately a lack of confidence in the tour on the part of the powers behind it--all contributed to the decision to pull the plug on the rest of the tour.

Her Black WingsHER BLACK WINGS is the name of a new band featuring former Burn It Down vocalist Ryan Downey along with ex-Racetraitor/ Arma Angelus/ Burn It Down guitarist Dan Binaei. The band also features the drum talents of Charlie Walker, who has played with Split Lip, Chamberlain, Quicksand's Sergio Vega and New End Original. They are currently writing material and searching for a bass player, as original bassist James Hart is too busy singing for Eighteen Visions."We're just taking our time with this," Downey said in a statement. "I haven't really been in a band in a year, Charlie just toured with New End for 6 months, and Dan is putting together a massive activist campaign to fight union-busting. We are all excited about making heavy music together but we're waiting for our Cliff Burton to walk in the door before it really takes off. We hear that Jason Newsted is free. We're just going to jam, feel it all out, and listen to lots of Samhain."
Downey is also working on "solo" acoustic/pop oriented material with Eighteen Visions/ Throwdown drummer Ken Floyd and Bleeding Through keyboardist Molly Street assisting. This project, called THE FAMILY GHOST, will be releasing material through Arise Records later this year. It is said to be in the vein of Travis, Coldplay and Jeff Buckley.

DrowningmanThe band recently had this to say about their new cd they're in the process of recording...also their last cd for Revelation: "We're going into the studio this weekend with Kurt Ballou, a shackled gang of out-patient day-workers and a pack of angry dogs to begin our last LP in our contract for Revelation. I can't go into detail about the long list of guest stars that will be on this amazing recording, and can't comment on the stylistic divergences that will occur (much of it will be in the "classic" Rev vain so kids that post on the Rev message board will like us) , I can only tell you that at all times during these recording sessions someone in the studio will be under the influence of one of the following: medication not perscribed to them, generic cough syrup, grain alcohol, cheap American beer and airplane glue discharged inside of Frito bags and inhaled deeply. The only other thing I can tell you about it is that this record will contain some of the most brutal mosh parts ever put on tape expressly for the purpose of middle-to-upper class, suburban, white kids to punch each other in the necks and faces to because face it- their lives are hard and so are ours." Also....a working title for the new record is "Best Record Ever" ...that's a pretty sick record title if you ask me.2002-02-13 20:41:08 CST by elvis (source: through these eyes)

V.O.D. Guitarst Matt Baumbach Comment on TVTThis is from an interview done with Lords of Metal.
"Things are going horribly with TVT. At first they seemed to really dig the band, but now their sucking pretty hard on some moose cock. Its funny normally getting a label to spend money is the problem, but they gave us sh*tloads and then when they had to do the easy part, and just put the record on shelves, they couldn’t do it. They f*cked up the shipping, marketing, tour support, radio play, and video play of the record, not to mention countless opportunities to tour with really good bands. Lazy is not the right word as inane is."

Eighteen Visions Recording New AlbumOrange County, California hardcore band Eighteen Visions have recently entered the studio to begin work on the 12 songs that will comprise "Vanity," their second full-length album for Trustkill (or third if you're counting the recently released "Best Of" collection of newly re-recorded old songs). "Vanity" sees the band streamlining their sound without sacrificing an ounce of brutality. Some song titles include "A Short Walk Down A Long Hallway" and "So Low." The album is expected to be released in early March, 2002.2001-11-23 22:25:54 CST by propheci (source: SuperheroHQ)
BlahFinally got some free time during Thanksgiving break to do something. So I posted interviews with Zao, Beloved, and One Shining Moment. Also up are some concert reviews. When I get back to school, I'll send in the order for the t-shirts. It's just a matter of my finding some freetime to walk to the t-shirt place.
Also since about a month ago, I've really started to collect vinyl. But one nagging problem has been trying to find out just exactly what is rare and what is common. I'd find some 7", and the guy would be like "Yea! This is on white!" Later that week, I'd find out that white was the standard print! Anyway, I have plans to start some sort of catalog that will record all the different pressings' colors and amounts for vinyls. If you are interested in helping or have some advice, let me know. It probably won't be a brand new site but rather just a part of InStrife.

Keep and eye on the Eulogy tour page for all of the up-to-date tour plans. UNTIL THE END- UTE has been riding a wave of success since the release of their 1st full-length effort, “Blood in the Ink.” The band has played a few shows around their homebase of south FL and is looking to hit many hotspots in the USA in the coming months.

gearing up for a full winter tour. The band will follow a winter full of
shows with the recording of their debut Alveran full-length, set for release
in February. ONE NATION UNDER has dates with THROWDOWN in the next few

Countervail Loses Drummer, Possible BreakupToday Seth Brown from Countervail let everyone know he has quit the band. Below is the statement he wrote for their website, the Status website and for news pages all around.
"I have posted many "quitting" or "break up" letters on my own website in the
past, so it feels weird to be writing one for myself and my former band. From
my experience from knowing many musicians, one of the main reasons people
quit the bands they love has to do with a reality check. This is my reality
check. I have been in Countervail for 2 years now and I am almost 25 years
old, and Countervail (since I decided to replace the former drummer) was
simply a part time band. It has become way too part time. Some people leave
bands because of schedule conflicts, maybe lack of interest or some just see
it as the band has run it's course. I fell all these emotions towards
Countervail, so I have officially quit. For a long time it has been virtually
impossibly to write new songs, and that was the main reason I had joined the
band in the first place. In quitting I feel like I might be leaving the band
empty handed, which sucks, but this is what I have to do. I would like to
thank the band for all the great times we had, the fans who came and always
supported us. Quitting a band on good terms is a great thing and a great
feeling, so I have no room in this letter for negative slandering towards
Countervail. No gossip here for you gossip hounds. I wish Countervail the
best of luck and really do hope they find a new drummer and remain a band.
Until next time, peace. Seth / Status."

I don't think anyone can feel as truly horrible about this as us. It makes us sick to our stomachs but we HAVE TO GET OUR NEW ALBUM OUT! If we went on that tour it would have delayed the album to late April or possibly May! That's 6 or 7 months from now! We could not live with that. This album is what everyone has been waiting for and we are going to get out if it’s the last thing we do! We are going to tour from Christmas on so don't worry!

Strife InterviewWell, I had a nice chat with Chad last Monday afternoon talking about various things. During the phone call, I had noticed that his voice was really low, probably because he was on a cellphone or something. Anyway, I didn't think anything of it and just continued the interview. Afterwards, going through my tape, I could only hear my voice and background noise. Anyway, I have reconstructed the interview with the best of my memory paraphrasing Chad's answers. You can read them here. I feel really bad about how this turned out. Sorry to all.
In case you've been living under a rock under another bigger rock, Strife's new album will be called Angermeans and it will be out on November 6th.

Drowningman Cancels Tour WIth ConvergeDrowningman has unfortunately cancelled their upcoming tour with Converge. Here is what the band has to say: "After a long summer of touring, Drowningman has collectively found itself in a situation this Fall where we have taken on too many commitments in our upcoming recording projects, our tour with Converge, and in our work, school and personal lives. With all the membership changes we went through in the beginning of this year we've found ourselves struggling to prepare for a number of projects from recording to touring (not to mention putting on Monsterfest in June.) We've begun working on our final full-length for Rev and have decided that we need to give this our full attention for the remainder of the year. The past year has had us cancelling several weeks of tours and some weekend dates. Unfortunately this realization that we need to concentrate on song-writing and not spreading ourselves too thin means that we will not be doing our upcoming dates with Converge in September. As much as we were looking forward to the tour we think that we need some time to re-group to make sure that we make a record that we are truly happy with and that in the future cancelling shows does not become a continuing trend for us. So again apologies to anyone that was looking forward to seeing us on the Converge tour and we will be making up the dates later this year or early in 2002."2001-09-16 20:55:13 CST by XmikeX (source: equal vision)
