or you can order it directly from kordova milk bar records through paypal. www.kmbrecs.tk
I'll be sure to post more regarding artwork and music.
ATTENTION!! people who have sent me money for mail order stuff in the last month or two. I sent everything out this week so you should be getting it soon. Sorry it took so long, but I have been in South America and did not have any way of sending it out. sorry.
Anywho, new shit has come to life. The last songs have been recorded and mastered. I will post one of them on the site when I get a copy of the mastered songs. These will be appearing on a split CD with our best friends Fight Amputation. more news soon.....
It's been a while. So what the hell is going on you ask? Well we have almost finished recording the our last 3 songs. When will these be out? hopefully by the end of the year or January 2006. These 3 songs will be part of a split CD with our good friends Fight Amputation, who will also have 3 songs on it.
What else is happening? Rebecca and Adam are still playing with Flowers in the Attic who just returned from their 6 week US tour. Allen, me and Rebecca are also starting a new band that will hopefully have a record out by the end of the year and be ready to play shows.
more info when it gets to me.
love,
exosus
still gathering all sorts of photos from the last show. if you have any you want to share with us, then drop me an e-mail at henry@dead-city.org.
in other news, here is a great review of our 7" from a website called Hardcore Music.be (http://www.hardcoremusic.be/reviewse.php)
Exosus are a 5-piece band out of DC. They formed in 2002 and since then have had more line up changes than most bands have in their entire career. Hopefully they have reached a solid line up now because it would be a great shame to lose such a promising band so soon. When I first heard this 7" it almost tore my throat out with its ferocity and now after listening to it numerous times it still does the same. So a big thumbs up there. It's rare to find music that doesn't lose its impact after a few listens and that is certainly true of this. The kind of music Exosus play is extremely brutal, if I was to use musical terms to describe it I would say it definitely contains elements of punk, hardcore, grind, metal and noise. At points it comes off like a strange cross between Pig Destroyer and Cursed. I have to say the packaging of this 7" is amazing the vinyl itself is blood red and as for the sleeve well, check the label website to see that because I don't think I can do it justice. If you buy vinyl at all I strongly recommend this! The music rules and the packaging is awesome, a win-win situation.
thank you to everyone who came out to the last show and made it possibly one of the best shows this area has seen in a few years. I can't even begin to explain how amazing we all felt afterwards. thank you.
special thanks to these people. without out you exosus would have never come this far:
xbillyx, nick kirby, willy, chris x, josh sisk, sonny simpson, jonah livingston,brian redbeard, dan fried, blake,chris control, zach walters, pat vogel, sean bajek, nathan duncan, american dave, flowers in the attic, medic, fight amputation, triac, as long as we're all living we're all dying, clancy six, arcadius, excelone, kylesa, baroness,tradition dies here,bear and butterfly.thank you.
in other news, I'll be altering the website in weeks to come. I am waiting for some pictures of the last show and video.
We still have some of our feed the furnace 7"s left so if you want one get in touch.
will we record the last songs we wrote? yes. when? soon, i hope. what label? mccarthyism. it will be a CD split with fight amputation. There will also be video of each band on the CD and maybe some other extra stuff.
now what?
rebecca and adam are playing in Flowers in the Attic. they will be going on tour for 6 weeks this summer so you should go check them out because they are nothing less than amazing.
Me, Allen, and rebecca are starting a new band with mikey from tradition dies here and a few other mystery guests. dont expect to hear from this band until the fall or winter.
love and goodbye,
exosus
Holy crap, what an amazing weekend trip we had. Despite being sleep deprived we survived unscathed. I'll try and post some pictures up soon.
