DJ Rules.

HOT.

In other Under Anchor news, Adrian (Cloud Rat, Old Soul, Quietus, Etc.) is now our permanent guitar player. He played with us on November 2nd at Static Age and fucking killed! Next show: December 11th at Justice Records w/ Daisycutter (Ft Wayne IN), Veterans (Cincinnatti OH), Cloud Rat, more. Get pumped.

Stuff, real quick.

Quick update: We recorded with Kevin Kitchel and it sounds fucking killer. Can't wait for the final Mix!
We are playing at Static Age on November 2nd w/ Run With The Hunted, Great Reversals, and End Trails. Come hang with us.
We will be booking for some tours for the next 6 months or so too! We are looking to go out with Disconnected, Sunlight Ascending, and some other friends.

Other news, I'm working on a new zine. Hopefully it will be ready in a couple months! I'm pretty damn excited about it, as this will be my first foray into zine-making.

So yeah, come and bring vegan food to the show on the 2nd. Be our friends. Love Love Love!

"DISCONNECTED AND ISOLATED. SICK OF THIS FUCKING WORLD."

I can relate to that a lot. Those are lyrics from Disconnected's demo, Isolated.
The time is finally coming. We are going to do this fucking split 12" LP with Disconnected.
We have six new songs written! And we are stoked! I still need to write lyrics for two of them, but that will be done shortly. We are going to be recording, hopefully in about a month. Keep in check.

We have practiced with one potential guitar player, and have another one learning songs as well. We will see how this pans out, but either way it is going to be great. Under Anchor will be back to playing shows within a couple months.

Fuck Arizona 1070B and all the other similar bills that are trying to be passed in other states, including Michigan.

Flip Flop Mosh 2010

There is no end, again.
Yes, friends. Under Anchor is no longer breaking up. After the last tour, we decided that we loved this band and each other so much that we want to continue making music together!
...though we will be taking a break from shows for a few months, to regroup and focus on writing and demo-ing new songs. In the meantime, sadly, we are parting ways with Derek, and are in the market for a new guitar player. If you are interested or know someone who would be, drop us a line.

Keep tuned in for a possible full length... and maybe that long-forgotten split with Disconnected...

Sorry for all the confusion. "Don't it always seem to go that you don't know what you've got til its gone?" Or in this case, almost gone.

Here's to another 4 years!

Final Tour, Final Show.

Thank you to everyone who has been coming out to these last few shows we have played. Every show that we have played this year has been fucking amazing. I don't have the words to express how much this means to us.
On to news...
We are doing one final tour, and it is with our best pals Deathskin Razors. It will be a little bit like this:

July 1st - Toledo, OH
July 2nd - Buffalo / Syracuse, NY
July 3rd & 4th - Fest in Burlington, VT
July 5th - Boston
July 6th - NYC
July 7th - Philly
July 8th - New Brunswick, NJ
July 9th - Washington DC
July 10th - Pittsburgh
July 11th - Cleveland, OH

Something like that.
Also, our last show is going to be Saturday, September 11th 2010. Most likely at the Metal Frat in Ann Arbor.
The lineup at this point is:

Under Anchor
Deathskin Razors
Positive Noise
Disconnected
At Half-Mast (SC)
End Trails
Kenny's Band

We are playing a show in Lansing on May 7th, and then a show in Mt. Pleasant in June. These will probably be the last shows that we play until the final tour and show.
Also, be on the lookout for our good friend Andrew Truss' next issue of his zine, should be out in June. He is doing a pretty cool retrospective piece on Under Anchor.

Again, thanks so much to everyone for the past 3+ years of support.

Apparently, There Is An End.

Under Anchor will be disbanding sometime later on this year. We plan on recording a few songs that we have been working on, putting together a discography/farewell package, doing one more tour, a last show, and then finally a DVD after everything is said and done. The DVD will collect live footage of UA from the past four years, and maybe some video from tour and interviews.
We will have more info about all of the aforementioned things soon.
Thank you SO SO SO much to everyone who has supported us in any way. This has been such a rewarding endeavor.

In the meantime, make sure to catch us at our upcoming shows, as they will be some of the last that we ever play.

Frat Parties!!!!

Here are some pictures from the last two shows we played. The first two are from the Shai Hulud show at the Metal Frat 2/19/10. The rest are from the Vegan Documentary Benefit show at the Metal Frat the next week 2/26/10. Holy shit we're like the house band there now. But on the real, these were two of the best shows that I have ever been to, and that we have ever played. Such great times, good energy, fun fun fun. Thanks to Sami A. and Christopher N. for the pics!
