UNRESTRAINED news: new drummer, 10/2 show with Bane and more

There are lots of things going on in the Unrestrained camp right now. Most notable is that we just got ourselves a new drummer! His name is Jon, and some of you may be familiar with the drumming he did for Backlash out of New Jersey in the 90s. He's a solid dude, a solid drummer, and we're very excited to have him on board. For those concerned with all things of the utmost awesomeness, this does finally make Unrestrained a full fledged straight edge band.

Jon's first show with us will be on October 2nd at Satyricon in Portland with Bane, Trash Talk, and Foundation. This show will also serve as Justin's 30th birthday bash.

A few weeks ago, we recorded four new songs. Two tracks will be going onto the At Both Ends final issue 2x7" along with two new songs each from Bane, Grade, and Between Earth & Sky. Those two songs have already been sent out to the pressing plant, and test presses should be back soon with a release date of Oct 3rd at the Undertow/Unbroken/Strain show.
The other two songs have been sent off to Europe, and will be released as a split 7" with a great band from Germany called Laura Mars (www.myspace.com/lauramarshq).

That's it for now. Ba Ba Booey to you all!

tHE DRUMMER FROM FUCKING BACKLASH...HOLY SHIT!!!!

Loved that band back in't day. the first record is an absolute rager, wasn't into that seven inch they put out on BTB but still, the old stuff was ill.
"WHY I'M MAD!"

Although he's been consistently playing at home, he hasn't played in a band since moving to Portland over 10 years ago, so we're pretty stoked that he's dusting off the stage kit to play with us.

justin,

Very nice! I was bummed that our paths didn't cross at Burning Fight. You should roll out to the Bane show here on 10/2, but if not, I'm sure we can find a way to meet up anyways.
