This is great! I’m going to donate right now so I can get a pack. You can see Marissa’s artwork in the background of the Matt Pryor footage. Liz and Ramsey are all over IYMI and I’m excited to see what Cristy, Jacki and Lauren do too. Donate!

BOMB THE MUSIC INDUSTRY! / CLASSICS OF LOVE / MIKE...
HEY EVERYBODY! We are super excited to tell you that in March we’ll be playing the first three east coast shows Classics of Love have ever done! Then they’re going home. Who’s Classics of Love? It’s Jesse from Operation Ivy (!) making insanely good punk rock with Mike, Morgan and Max from Hard Girls/Shinobu/Pteradon (!!!). Here’s one of their songs:

Bomb the Music Industry!: YOU'RE BEING WARNED... →
Have we played any non-all ages shows? I did forget to mention that if you’re under 16 at THIS particular show, you can have a “guardian” come there with ya. But other than that, I’m pretty sure that every show we’ve played since 2007 (in the states) has been all ages.
Fun fact: Did you know that we have been charged up to $500 extra in some venues simply for saying...
YOU'RE BEING WARNED...
Although no one has called us out on this, we have been playing a handful of shows that a bit more expensive than $10, the most recent of which is a show with Das Racist on Long Island. We don’t plan on making a habit out of this, and we will ALWAYS fight tooth and nail to make our headlining shows $10 or less (I think in one case in Toronto last year, it had to be $13 or it couldn’t...

Well then it’s pretty strange that I care so little about my body, possessions and what happens to myself that I took genuine concern as an insult! But thatttttttttt’s my life!!
Sorry for the jerkiness.

Bomb the Music Industry!: A QUICK THANKS... →
I think this person’s mad at me. I’m sorry I jump into the audience sometimes, but I NEVER expect to leave that situation in full health. What I was saying is that I thought it was nice that people were treating EACH OTHER well, and what I didn’t say was that it was also nice that nobody jumped onstage with a seemingly specific intention of jumping up and down on top of my pedals...
A QUICK THANKS...
Hey, I neglected to say a few things last night ‘cause I was having too much fun with my buddies… but I wanted to say this.
1) THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO BROUGHT TOYS! It’s really nice when people go the extra mile to do something good… everyone who came to the show too, thanks a lot for supporting the cause, we ended up raising about $2,000 for Safe Horizon. YEAH!!!
2) WAS...

the problem with spotify, etc. (a rant)
(AN UNPRECEDENTED PREAMBLE ADDENDUM: Reading this back it sounds a little complainy, so let me just make clear that I realize exactly how lucky I am that I play music in a band that people have heard, and I know people have largely heard my band because we have had our music on the internet for free for the past six years, and will ‘til we ain’t a band anymore.)
Let me start off by...
PROCRASTINATING AND READING TOUR BLOGS FROM ALMOST...
I read something about Black Flag in the van. Henry Rollins used to sit in the trailer as they were driving to their tour stops because he didn’t get along with the van. Isn’t that crazy. We all sit in the van.

IT DOESN'T GET MUCH MORE CORRECT THAN THIS:
IT'S THAT TIME OF YEAR AGAIN: GIVE US YR COLLEGES.
Hey everyone. Last year’s Give Bomb the Music Industry! a Bunch Of Money That Your School Was Just Gonna Throw Away Anyway campaign was a TOTAL SUCCESS. Even in spite of some guy named Wiz Khalifa getting paid more than us and having a line around the block for tickets at one of our shows (ugh! as if!)
Seriously though, we’d love to play at your school so you should get in touch with...

"VACATION" IS IN STORES!
Did you know that? You can go to your favorite record store and buy the new Bomb record on LP or CD! And if they don’t have it, tell ‘em to order it (CD through Orchard and LP through No Idea)… but we’ve seen them in record stores all over the place on this tour so chances are you’ll be able to find it! Go find it!!!

Hey everyone!!! The new Bomb record is now streaming in full on spinner, which if aol is still part time-warner it is ironic as time-warner’s awful internet will probably be the reason the record doesn’t get onto quote unquote in time!!

WHAAAAAT? That’s right guys. So basically, on TUESDAY, JULY 26TH our new record Vacation comes out.

ANOTHER NEW SONG! EVEN MORE TOUR DATES! EXCITING...
So a little while ago, I thought it might be a cool idea to try and release some new Bomb the Music Industry! jams through a charity, instead of through a music blog, as a way to draw attention towards some shit that we believe in, RIGHT?!?! From this simple idea now comes the 1-800-SUICIDE PICK UP THE PHONE TOUR with us and The Sidekicks!
This is some exciting shit for us. Not only have suicides...
SILENT BARN ROBBED!
Hey everyone. One of our favorite DIY venues in New York City was recently robbed. Check the details below and help out if you can:
This weekend has been incredibly heartbreaking for all of us at The Silent Barn. On top of many issues that we’re currently dealing with, over the weekend our house was completely ransacked. About $15k worth of audio equipment, house projects and personal...
BORRRRING STUFF / EXCITIIING STUFF
Is it possible that we will ACTUALLY get this vinyl on time? It looks so. Vinyl has been shipped to us, shit, we ALREADY have the CD’s even. Somehow we have not fucked this up yet and it’s exciting.
We do however have to stop accepting orders for the shirt/LP(or CD) combination after Saturday, July 10th in order to get everything shipped out to you in time. SO if you’ve been...

ALBANY SHOW CANCELED AND MOVED TO PITTSFIELD, MA
Hey there everybody. Sorry about this last minute change of plans, but we were recently made aware that our show at Valentine’s in Albany (a place where I’ve played all ages shows before) is NOT all ages. When we asked if something could be done about this, the response we got was
I haven’t had one inquiry from anyone of any age for this show so if they are freaking out about...
"VACATION" VINYL PRE-ORDER / #AMR15
Hey everyone! So our pre-order for Vacation has been up for about two weeks and the response has exceeded our wildest expectations. There’s not much to say besides THANKS SO MUCH EVERYBODY for all the support, and for enabling us to be a band that never has to send out demos to bigger labels only to get rejected. And that never has to hear from a label “That’s not good enough,...

“SHOW YOUR TITS! SHOW YOUR TITS!”
This is the refrain I heard at my first ‘punk’ show. I was 13 and it was the first time that my parents agreed to let me go to a show with my best friend Ian and his mom driving us. I heard this whenever a girl…
