No such thing as justice.

Hello everyone (to the few who might read this).
Winter is kicking my ass, but I'm hanging in there. I can't 100% speak for everyone in UA, but I'm pretty sure they are all doing all right. DJ is great I know. Jimmy and I share a house and are both living in poverty, and it gets a bit tough. But life goes on and there is a lot of work to be done and fun to be had. Adrian recently moved and seems to be doing well.

Shows have all been going great! Thanks to everyone for coming out and making good memories with us. I'm starting to get the tour bug again, so look out for some tour dates soon. I think we are doing a four day weekend with the mighty GREAT REVERSALS in late march. Come late Spring/early Summer, we will have a couple proper tours in the works.

Disconnected finally got their side of the LP recorded!!! Now we just need the artwork. That will be put into motion soon, and I'm guessing the record will be out in April. We have been talking about doing something cool for the record release, so keep your eyes peeled!

All right folks. That's it for now.
Go read Elephantmen. And Billy the Kid's Old Timey Oddities. And The Boys. And other good comics.

New Recordings Up!

Check them out in the download section. I realize it isn't 2011 yet, but that is when the record will officially be out, blah blah blah. Speaking of that, I hear that Disconnected's side is sounding fucking killer, and will be done within a week or two! Stoked! Now for the artwork...

We have a few shows coming up. A house party in Lansing on December 4th with End Trails, Damages, and Accidents. Bunch of plural band names, I tell ya! Then December 11th at Justice Records in Mt. Pleasant with Veterans (Cincy HC), Cloud Rat, and Xtra Vomit. Then January 8th at YE OLDE JAMESTOWNE HALL in Saginaw!!!!! FUCK YES! It's been over two years since I've been there. I'm pretty sure this will be only the second show there in two years actually. Here's a flyer for the road...

On a different note... Splatterhouse got remade for the PS3 and I'm probably going to play the hell out of it.

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.
