Kurt Ballou, you rat bastid! After telling us he was about to begin working on a new Old Man Gloom record and getting us into a tizzy, Ballou has gone and taken it all back a few days later, claiming it was a "belated little April Fools joke." From Kurt's Facebook via Metal Injection: whoops. [...]
In 2001 I went to the now-defunct NYC venue Brownie's to catch Cave In, who I'd recently discovered, and ended up catching Old Man Gloom and Scissorfight in the process. The way I viewed heavy music was forever altered, the show a railroad switch that sent my descent into the gnarlier side of metal over [...]
Words: Gareth O'Malley This is as good a start from a new band as we've heard this year. Our Lost Infantry , an Aldershot quartet who we've been following for a while, release their new single on June 7th, and it is pretty much perfect. A double A-side of 'The Arsonist' and 'Scissorfight' is the group's debut single, and its ten minutes are practically bursting with promise.

Please get back together, record a new album and bring your granite state destroying asses down to NYC for a show. Sincerely, Vince Neilstein

Sento la grandissima mancanza di una band come gli Scissorfight. Come non amare una band con pezzi tipo 'New Hampshire's Alright If You Like Fighting'? Bikers, chopper lovers, pescatori, beoni e pronti a buttarsi nelle risse per i più futili motivi. Bestie come piacciono a me che mischiano ZZ Top e Motorhead. Gli Scissorfight non danno notizie da anni, messi nella naftlalina da due fantomatici side-project, Mess with the bull e Dead Whale. I primi annunciano un disco dal 2008, del secondo (unico titolare l'enorme Ironlung) non c'è traccia manco su myspace. Quando si dice l'underground.
Well, yesterday, I went to a wedding and I was too busy eating food to be writing.

1. Cop that Mission of Burma product . 2. If you've ever seen Eli "Paperboy" Reed play a live set, you've probably thought to yourself, "Damn, I'd like to download that kid's record collection." Next best thing: he guest-deejayed and spun a shitload of really rare records on PJ's "Galactic Fractures" show, which you can, in turn, download. Bonus beats at the end by PJ, who gets on [...]
