Bongripper

"Sorry to everyone planning on seeing us in Pittsburgh and New York, but our van has been broken down since Friday. We are currently held up at a hotel in Fremont, IN, and our van should be fixed as early as Monday. We plan to make the show in Allston, MA on Tuesday." - Bongripper

Bongripper will be forced to celebrate the release of their new Sex Tape / Snuff Film 7" elsewhere. They were supposed to play two NYC shows before MA, but their East Coast tour has ground to a halt. The show must go on though. The Sunday night (7/10) Brooklyn show at Acheron will now feature Wizardry and Iron Thrones . No word on another band at the Monday night (7/12) Precious Metal show at Lit Lounge with Bezoar and Dutchguts.

Bongripper played the Empty Bottle in their native Chicago on July 1st with Hate, Detergen, and DJ Dave Hofer. Pictures from that show are in this post. More of them, with a stream of their new 7" and all tour dates, below..

Jucifer at Union Pool (more by Samantha Marble)

Jucifer will hit the road for a string of tour dates that will include NYC at Union Pool on July 15th. There they'll intersect with a Mocking Bird tour with a third band still to come. $10 gets you in.

Also in the coming couple weeks is Bongripper! The tour will be their first trek through the NYC area, and they'll play two nights of shows... July 10th at Acheron with Wizardry and July 11th at Lit Lounge with Bezoar. Stream some awesome indtrumental doom from the band below, and head out to the shows!

Yob and Dark Castle are on the road.

Cannabis Corpse, who have a new album, has been added to the previously discussed Sourvein show.

Northless, who put out the killer Clandestine Abuse, has added an NYC show at Lit Lounge on August 15th as part of an East Coast tour.

The now-on-Matador Ceremony play 538 Johnson tonight (7/1). Cro-Mags are at Bowery Ballroom with Wisdom in Chains, Death Threat, and Razorblade Handgrenade.

I am definitely feeling this new Oathbreaker LP, Mælstrøm which is out NOW via Deathwish and streaming below in full. The Belgium band features members of Amenra, and the LP was recorded by none other than Kurt Ballou. Highly reccomended!

The stream, more suggested NYC shows and some video below.
