Justified Recognition

It's not us alas, but neverless this shouldn't go unnoticed.



Our friends in the Architects have just got a well deserved 5k's in their album review in Kerrang! This is something not to be taken lightly, and it is something that is definately not handed out left right and centre to bands. Persistance and hard work have brought these guys to the place they are now and its a lesson everyone can take away with them, even if you aren't involved in music.

The album comes out on Monday 26th January so please be sure to go out and pick a copy up and support these guys. DON'T DOWNLOAD IT FOR FREE. We all know there is a recession going on, the government have even admitted it now, so help out Architects and buy yourself the album and if you are feeling especially flash then go and get yourself a t-shirt.

Merchandise can be purchased from HERE.

You can also pre-order the album from PLAY.COM, hell it's even got free postage!

If you don't want to wait for good old Pat to drop it through your letterbox then you can go to your nearest HMV and get yourself a copy on Monday. I know I certainly will.

More news coming your way soon on where the Cancer Bat's videos will be used, and also a massive update on the website and a few things we will be bringing your way like stickers, tshirts and other cool shit.

Have a good weekend everyone

Edits heading out of the operation room

The live videos we are doing for Cancer Bats are almost complete now. Where they are being used is still unknown but be sure that as soon as we know you, shall also know.

The anathallo documentary is entering it's final stages. It's currently having colour correction done on a number of scenes and also the fat is being cut away to make it as interesting as possible. Test screenings are going out but only to close personal friends (who have myself added on facebook). The full public viewing is down to the band and where they see fit to release it.

The new webisode for Four Year Strong is also coming this week.

Still yet to be edited is stuff for:

Dead Swans
Hexes
Haunts

Stay tuned.

Anathallo Live Video

We've just put up a video which we actually shot nearly a year ago. Anathallo hail from the US (many of them from Boston) and are one of the greatest bands we've ever worked with. Some of their good friends include Brand New, Manchester Orchestra and Mewithoutyou. So many bands these days feel they have the God given right to talk to their fans like trash. This is something I never personally understand. Anathallo on the other hand are the exact opposite. They will take the time to talk to anyone that is a fan and have a genuine positive mental attitude that is contagious to all. They shared hotel rooms, their food and their stories with us (about so many bands you wouldn't believe). In a nutshell, they treated us like one of their own. For that reason these guys have our eternal respect. Check out the video of one of the new songs 'Italo' off their recent album release 'Canopy Glow' (available via Itunes and Amazon). I suggest everyone checks out Canopy Glow and also their previous release 'Floating World'. If you like music that goes down a different route from the rest of the pack, and has an intelligent basis, Anathallo are right up your street. Places on the web to involve yourself with these guys are as follows:

Anathallo.com
The Anathallo Myspace

Oh and here's the video before I get carried away with myself!



You can watch it HERE in amazing HD.

The website is nearly done. It's looking tastier than two Swedish girls sharing a twister ice-cream. It's coming your way very very soon. We've also taken away the holding page, it's done it's job, we want a nice clean slate for the new site. There are various links on the current page on the web address which link you to the main areas you need to be checking out.

click here for a gander

The first Four Year Strong video has also been completed, it just requires various tweaks requested by the management and it's going out live to everyone. Episodes will be released on a set time, on a set date each week, pretty much like a TV show. Once we know what time these videos are going out we will let you know. Please tune in and rock out, Four Year Strong are one of the most awesome bands we have ever worked with, and you can get a taste of what these guys are all about. Many bands could learn some valuable lessons from them.

But thats all for now, just a swift update. Keep checking back everyone. HAPPY NEW YEAR! Welcome to 2009, I hope you are all as stoked as we are here at Crashburn Productions.

Much love

Ryan
