//15.10.09// The society time has come to an end (for now!) and there is no IF anymore for us. We would like to thank If Society for putting out our two previous albums (False Security Program & Who needs maps when we got time) and all their help with everything. Thank you Tommi and Mikko. I bet you will never really get rid of us and we will continue to bug you when ever it's unnecessary!
But out with the old and in with the new(s). The new album is ready!!! It's called Blades of Steel and it continues just where we left off on the last record... Cosmic interpretations of cureless diseases from the planet earth in a form of hc/rock/punk/indie and yes, maybe there is some math in there too... If you want to put it that way? IT'S EVERYWHERE!!!
It will be released by the crazy boys of Rabbit Ilsn Records. The album will also be released in Russia (and France?). And Tommi will hook us a label in the States, right? But more on that later. The date is set, it will be out before christmas.
We're touring Finland with Sur-rur and Aortaorta. We are also visiting Russia in october/november.
So hold your horses, we'll upload new songs on the site and myspace as soon as the time is right...

much fun, we'll dig in to the details later. right now i just want to thank
lauris for setting up a show in such short notice and for hanging out with us
smelly bastards; ainaars for a place to call home, the company, cooking and
talking samppa-language; people at zabadaks; everyone who came to our shows,
bought records and whatnot. sorry we had to cancel the show in vilnius, the
situation was out of our hands. mercedes benz sucks ass! m
