Well Readers, Do You Want The Good News Or The Bad News First?
Ok, The Bad News.
Some of you may remember a few weeks ago I posted information about a new act signed to UP!DOWN!, D-Pad. He was due to have his debut EP released in a couple of weeks. UNFORTUNATELY due to close family bereavement, recording for the album has been subjected to a number of delays. He ensures me that a couple of track are finished, not quite mastered and that the rest of the EP will be finished in the forseeable future. I wish D-Pad all of the best in these upcoming months and I can't wait to hear his own brand of Nerdcore Hip-Hop.
And, The Good News (With A Little Bit Of Bad)
Some news about my main men of the moment 'Genetic Misprints'. As you may know it has been a while (a month for them) since we have heard much from the Genetic Misprints camp. This is due to the fact that the boys have been busy in the studio workinng on a few new releases to 'Tide The Fans Over' (More On That Later)
A Few days ago I recieved a list of upcoming releases from the duo. In order of release these are:
Variety pack EP: A follow-up to 'Vaule Pack' featuring more alternate versions of Genetic Misprints songs.
XV: Thier Latest Studio Album
Present Super Happy Funtime Sing-Along: A Collection Of Popular songs in instrumental form.
Date Rape and Selotape EP: A collection of old and new short skits and random songs.
The Best Of A Bad Bunch Volume 2: The second compilation of GM's greatest songs since Marmalederhosen.
I mentioned before 'Tide The Fans Over', this is because as of the end of september 2010, Genetic Misprints are taking a break, I have been ensured that this is definately not the end, but just time to persue projects outside of GM and outside of music. The reasons given by the band we're that: we need a break to be able to come back with lots of new ideas and its been exhausing but so much fun.
Rob Gale (GM Vocalist) stated that;
"Most bands only produce 1 album in every couple of years, we have produced 19 to date within the space of one year, it has been so much fun but the tank is nearly empty for now, ideas are harder to come by and we need more time to be able to produce an amazing comeback album. This is 100% not the end. GM will live forever. We have had more success than we could have ever dreamed of and thank the fans for that."
He has also confirmed that GM will continue to produce videos and episoeds of thier webseries during the break. They are still a band just taking a break from recording.
All of those releases to be upped very soon.
