Anxiety Attack / The Day Man Lost split CD-R

So it's been a few months, I've even done an entire gig which was never posted on here, but it doesn't matter because the first time I ever posted a link to this page was today. In case you were wondering though, it was the release show for the Manatees / The Freezing Fog split 12", which is still available on lovely white vinyl from Roadkill Records. Both the obvious bands played, and Arficeden opened the whole thing up, who are also pretty damn great. They're from Manchester too, check them out. Hopefully I'll get my arse in gear with regards to this blog now, but you never know.

The split 7" has now become a CD-R due to both bands unfortunately splitting up and the price of pressing vinyl rising, but it will be nicely packaged and will be ready for the bitter sweet final outing of The Day Man Lost at The Bitter Suite in Preston. It's across the road from 53 Degrees and the Students' Union so it shouldn't be too difficult to find. Also playing are The Wankys and Swedish Flat Pack Disaster from Leicester, Belligerent, featuring Stu and Kev of The Day Man Lost, Hello Bastards from London and Hammers, who contain people who have played with Italy/Switzerland's The Secret and the USA's Funeral Diner, as well as Nick and Andy of Run Like Hell/Anxiety Attack/Hail Brethren fame. I went down to see them with their new bassist in Stoke a few days ago and even after only a single practice with him, they really are on top form. Very loud, very heavy, very good.

So yes, come down to the gig, wherever you happen to be from, and pick up a copy of the split CD-R. It'll also have the Anxiety Attack tracks that were going to be on their split with Whole In The Head, for added extra super value (as if you need it when it'll be a pound!). It's not going to be a silly "only available from this one gig" limited edition kind of deal though, if you can't make it and want one just drop me an e-mail and I'll tell you where to send your £1.50, or however much or little it works out to be if you want wholesale rates for your distro/shop/whatever. It's going to be nicely packaged in a hand folded paper gatefold sleeve, and stamped CDs if I can get the right equipment. It'll look as nice as it can for the price anyway.

I'll post the artwork when I get it, which shouldn't be too long now I hope!
