Check video section. Not for the faint of heart. See ya in tha pit. aarggh. On tour now with The Unseen! AWS one-off Providence show added! March 15, 2008 by Trevor Well I guess the subject title says it all folks. We�re 2 shows in to The Unseen tour and having a blast already. The shows have been super fun and it�s great to see those guys again. Happy B Day Melzard! We will be on the road with those dudes over the next five weeks across the US so come out to a show and be ready for a serious bangover the next day. My neck is so fucked up right now. The Kerry King stretches, they do nothing! Oh, and since the Unseen tour doesn�t go anywhere near our hometown and everyone seems to have their panties in a bunch over it we booked our own all ages show in Providence (close enough, New Bedford?) on April 26th so mark your calendars and get your carpool buddies together. Joining us will be Iron Mustache (cool Maiden tribute band also from NB), Another Option (Westport MA ladykillers) and the awesome Brunt of It from Providence! More news and the premier of our new video "I Wipe My Ass With Showbiz" coming next week! late trevor AWS New Guitarist!!!...and thanks UK!!! February 7, 2008 by Trevor Hey everyone, thanks for making the UK tour so awesome! Cheers to the lads in Failsafe and All Idols Fall for coming along with us and helping make the tour our best yet! Alot's been going on over here including the addition of a new member to the Wilhelm family. It's guitar maniac Mike Supina! Here's Brian with more... "To our loyal fans, critics, and people who don't give a fuck - (but will post their opinion on the internet anyway out of a sheer attempt for attenion in their otherwise meaningless lives), A miracle has happened. No, not one of those miracles where a holiday will be made out of it in years to come, but something that should at least be celebrated with maybe a pathetic "ticker-tape parade". (Like that episode of the Simpsons..."Welcome home, Space-girl!" ... was that the pretzel episode?) Mike Supina, (aka. "Meehow", "Shit-Dick", "Psycho-Mike-oh", etc.)... will be joining us on all of our upcoming tours, and coming into the studio with us at the end of the year to write the next record. Mike was with us on the tour with Only Crime and The Swellers, and he touched us - in a way that we want none of our girlfriends or parents/loved ones to know about. Never the less, there was a connection. So if any of you were wondering who the new guitarist is, It's fuckin' MIKE, okay?!?! SO, we're fucking stoked to have this destroyer of a guitarist with us, in my opinion, he's one of the best musician's I've ever had the chance to share a stage with, and I can speak for the band when I say that we're extremely excited to see what he brings to the table when we lock ourselves into the practice room to put together all the ideas that all of us have. THAT BEING SAID, we'll see you UK fuckers in the next few days... and I know that there are places on the internet that say we're going to (main land)europe (and many other strange, far away places) later on this year... it's true, i just don't know if i'm allowed to talk about it, or mention it yet. OOPS! More news at 11, Bri." The People's Choice January 2, 2008 by Trevor Hey everybody! The best-of year end lists have now begun to pop up on rock zine web sites and while we try not to take much stock in those types of things we thought we should give a quick shout to the people who frequent www.punk news.org for making us number one on the people's list of favorite albums of 2007. We didn't expect it and we think it's pretty fucking cool. So thank you and happy new year! Back home! (For a few weeks anyway) December 27, 2007 by Trevor Yo! We're back from tour now and it was a blast! The Fall of Troy were fucking awesome and great guys and were a blast to kick it with, along with new friends Shea and Ron who ruled as well. Thanks to all who came out and made those shows so fun. Schoolyard Heroes rule as well and were sweet people, check them out! BIG BIG BIG thanks to everyone who came out to our headlining gigs, you made it our most successful (turn-out wise especially) and we are super lucky to have the support of all of you. Nick Diener pulled off the guitar work splendidly and is a great dude and we were lucky to have him filling in for us, check out his band The Swellers and show some love. Thanks to The Flatliners for coming out with us and being so good and so much fun to be around. They are a real band. Support the real bands. Fuck all that other shit out there. To everyone who put us up and/or had a good time with us, cheers! We're sorry all your sports teams suck though! (shit eating grin going on right now) Next up is a sweet UK headlining tour, followed by a full 6 week U.S. adventure supporting The Unseen which will hit pretty much everywhere and we're really looking forward to that. Then we'll be hitting Europe properly and playing alot of new places, some I never in a million years thought I'd be able to visit and we're fuckin doing it and I'm so excited and fortunate that we get to do this with our lives. Canada we haven't forgotten you, and we're seriously working on it, trust us! All this and a new record to be in the can by the end of the year. Let's do this thing. -Trev p.s. go pats p.p.s. go celts Tour Updates November 16, 2007 by Trevor Hey, we updated the tour section with U.S. west coast for Dec. and UK dates for Jan/Feb!

And check out Fubar and check out my ass I've been working out. Much love ya'll. tballs P.S. Our humble and sincere thanks to everyone who went out and bought the record on the first day, like, in a store. I know alot of you already got it by other means and it truly means the world to us that you'd support the band by buying it in a store or online so we can make another one soon! And to everyone who pre-ordered it from Newbury Comics (the kickass New England regional store), we love you the best!!! Enjoy the surprises. More tour announcements coming very soon!!! ...So long and thanks for all the booze. September 28, 2007 by Chris So there has been a rumor floating around the old internerd the past few days; we've received some concerned emails, and there have also been some MySpace comments posted about me (Chris) leaving the band. We didn't want to detract from the positive news surrounding the release of Career Suicide, but instead of letting you little gossip mongers spread around what you may or may not have heard, this is our official statement on the subject. I have decided that my time with A Wilhelm Scream is over. I started playing music 18 years ago. At that time my only reason for doing it was because it was fun. I have maintained for the duration of my time in Smackin' Isaiah/A Wilhelm Scream that when it stopped being fun, I would give it up. The bottom line here is that I just don't enjoy the day-in, day-out grind of being on tour anymore. Our touring schedule, as most of you know, is fucking ridiculous and I just can't continue doing it. There are no personal or creative differences between any of us. None of that bullshit. I still love this band and everything it stands for. The six years that I've spent in SI/AWS have been the best of my life. We've accomplished more than I ever expected, and I take with me with more amazing memories than most people experience in a lifetime. I want to thank Trevor, Nuno, Nick, Jon, and Brian (but not Curtiss) for being the best bandmates, and best friends I could have ever asked to live in a van with. And for understanding why I have to leave. My only real regret is that I won't get to see all of our close friends situated inconveniently around the world as often as I'd like (You know who you are). So now that the bad news is over, it's time for some good news. You might be asking yourself "What about the Only Crime/Swellers tour?" Well I'm glad you asked. Filling in for me on the upcoming tour will be our friend Mike from the band Alucard. You locals may have seen them at the Fairhaven VFW a few months back with the Swellers. Homeboy shreds like a motherfucker, and I'm sure he won't have a problem tearing your faces off. I will, however, be playing the New Bedford show on Oct. 6th, the CD release show in Providence on the 20th, and my final show will be in New Bedford sometime in November. After which, the search for a permanent replacement will begin. NEW BEDFORD SHOW! WHAT THE FUCK!? September 26, 2007 by Brian That's right you crazy New Bed...ford...ians? We're gonna be playing Medium Studios on OCTOBER 6TH - it's gonna be hot. It's gonna be sweaty. If you're claustrophobic, I'd probably wait until the Providence show... I don't have too many details on what time we're playing, or how much it's gonna cost, but I was told to put the word out ASAP. SO, here I am, doing that. With that said and done, Nick and I are gonna go see Municipal Waste at the Living Room now, all of you should be there, because that band fucking rules. LATE! Career Suicide Out Oct. 9th!!! Get A Signed Copy if you Pre-Order it from Newbury Comics?! September 17, 2007 by Trevor Hi everyone, lots of stuff happening around here surrounding the new record's release. New site coming very soon, 2 new videos on deck, all kinds of other shit, and it will all be over the next few weeks, so hold your horses. (ahem.) You can now Pre-Order the record from Newbury Comics at this link. Fuckin A. Like Bri said on our "myspace", the people at newbury Comics made out with Nick at his house and made us sign copies and said you guys will get one if you pre-order it from them. I dunno, just go the link below. I signed some of them as Gene Simmons. http://www.newburycomics.com/rel/v2_home.php?storenr=103&deptnr=465 New Album and East Coast U.S. Tourdates September 4, 2007 by Trevor NEW RECORD "CAREER SUICIDE" OUT OCT. 9TH! The heading says it all kinda. Our new album, titled "Career Suicide" will be in stores October 9th. It's got 13 songs, and they're some of our fuckin favorites so check it out. CD Release shwo(s) coming soon, including one in NB to make up for that cancelled date, so stay tuned. New videos coming soon, new web site coming soon, all that shit. See you you guys in October, we'll be doing the east coast USA for a few weeks along with our friends Only Crime and The Swellers so keep a lookout here for updated tour dates coming soon. We're hitting a bunch of places we haven't been to in a while. Should be a party. Peace playas. TOUR DATES UPDATED July 5, 2007 by Trevor Hi guys, We're touring with Strung Out in August, west coast US and Canada! I Am Ghost rounds out the bill. Check the TOUR section. Come on out, we'll be playing some new jams off the new record. Album art coming along nicely. Track listing and title will be announced very soon, all at once. Cheers! t The Forum June 8, 2007 by Trevor I just took a gander at the forum (it's been a while) and I just wanna say you guys are fucking awesome. We're lucky to have you all as "fans" (I prefer the term "friends"). It's crazy that some of you pay so much money for the out of print stuff on ebay though. 100 bucks for a cd?! yikes! (All the back catalog songs will be released in one cheap package soon, I promise. Please bear with us.) Anywho, just wanted to say that real quick and keep posting, we read them ALL. Thanks! Done Recording!!! June 6, 2007 by Trevor Recording Completed Hey! We're back in lovely scenic New Bedford (Bri's back in his homeland with Wolverine and Voivod) after a wonderful three weeks or so in Ft. Fun finishing recording our as-yet-untitled (workin' on it) third full length with Bill Stevenson, Jason Livermore and Andrew Berlin at the Blasting Room. Thanks to those brilliant individuals AND Johnny, Mark, Jason and also all the interns (especially Aaron) for making the record go so smoothly for us. Everyone outdid themselves, and that's saying alot considering their amazing track record over there. Enough suckin' dicks. We're finishing up the sequencing. It's gonna be a 13 song joint this time. A few songs are over the five minute mark. They're for the stoners. The vast majority of the record is fast. Very very fast. Actually, I think the whole thing's fast. The other two songs we recorded will find their way to you in special ways after the record's out. Those two songs aren't that fast (comparatively) so they didn't make the record. We really like them alot, so they will get released, but hey, they weren't fuckin' fast enough!! OK?! This one's built for speed. Anyway, we're now compiling our ideas for artwork together and hopefully will be working with some particularly talented fellows soon to make our random ideas come to life. As fans of Mute Print and the Ruiner maybe could tell, we take the artwork very seriously (even though, as I'm told, nobody buys cds anymore! this shit true?!) and we put lots of effort and time and thought into making sure it goes way over most people's heads! Avoid success!!! We're going for a nice mix of both records' art in style and tone, I think we really got it musically, which was the goal. We fuckin' killed ourselves on this one to make sure we didn't disappoint you guys, the ones who have come see us play live the past two years. These are "live" songs for sure. Some are very Mute Print-esque, some remind me of Smackin' Isaiah, our biggest influence! We're gonna try to get the art done in time to make a late August release via Nitro Records and Hot Sauce. MP3s will come, we'll let ya know when. Let's die while we're young. -trevor p.s. Thanks to Stacie S., Jeff and Stacy and the Ft. Collins crew for making sure we got out, got drunk and got tattooed (thanks Curtis at TribalRites!) Much love as always to Chip and Laura for being amazing friends and Mike @Soda Jerk for getting us in that awesome Propagandhi show in Denver. Fun as hell! Anybody we forgot, I'll get at ya next time. Recording in Progress May 16, 2007 by Trevor hey internet friends, thought i'd drop you all a line, let you know what we're up to. well, we've been in fort collins, colorado for almost a week now working on the new record. nick's drums are done and bri's almost done with his bass already and i gotta say they both sound fucking insane on this. {fans of bri's previous bass work ain't seen nothing yet.} me and chris worked with jason on guitar tones last night and we're gonna start tracking today. the guitars are a bit more gain-y (or bad-ass, as they say) than the last two records, and alot closer to our live guitar tone. nuno might start singing today, we'll see. we got here (blasting room) last week with 18 songs and we're gonna do 15 this time. the other 3 will go on the next record for sure. bill says the songs are alot more "intense" sounding than the last two records. no title yet, but we're working on it. more to come, gotta run, thanks for listening. trevor Hola Senores Y Senoras April 18, 2007 by Chris So I haven't been here in like two months, and I realized that we haven't updated the news in two months either, so here's an update on why you haven't heard from us and might think that we're dead. First of all we're not dead. We've been at home in New Bedford writing our asses off and playing together almost every day. We just finished demoing the first 13 songs in the project studio in Trevors basement, and we're currently working on a bunch of other songs. We figure to have around twenty to choose from for our next record. Speaking of our next record, in case you were wondering, we are heading back to the Blasting Room to drive Bill and Jason completely insane once again in the beginning of May. So that will hopefully be out by the end of the summer (Or the beginning of summer depending on when when some fucktard leaks it.) "What about touring?" You might be asking yourself. Honestly I don't know. We don't currently have anything booked, but by the time we get out of the studio, I'm sure we'll be eager to get out there and hopefully see the outer reaches of our beloved homeland again. (We realize we haven't toured the U.S. in eight months so get off our back already, Europe and Australia needed some love too.) That's all for now, good talking to you, see you soon. Go listen to Municipal Waste in the mean time. Thank You Europe! February 15, 2007 by Trevor We're back from our first Euro Headlining tour and we're fucking exhausted! This was the most intense trip in many ways and only those directly involved with the tour know exactly the extent of what I mean by that. I could write a book. Maybe I will one day. Much LOVE goes out to Ray, Bug and Adamn for being a great crew and great friends and No Trigger for coming along and being great on stage and off every night. Huge thanks and appreciation to every single one of you who bought a ticket(and travelled along with the tour in many cases) and made the tour such a success. We were blown away by the turnouts and want you to know how much we appreciate the support. You made the shows go off. Of course, we'll be back soon. And so ends the touring cycle for the "Ruiner" record. It was a long one, like usual. Now we make the new record in May at the Blasting Room in Colorado. Bill and Jason will produce once again. We can't wait. In addition to writing, we recently shot a video for a new song called 5 to 9 with our good friend Ben in London at the beginning of our trip last month and it's looking fucking killer. Ben has been filming tour documentaries for us for every Euro tour we've done, inlcuding the last one and I can't wait for all of you to see his amazing work one day soon. He's quite brilliant. There's so many projects I wish I could talk more about, but I can't. Just know we're always busy over here and we have big plans brewing. U.S. tours will come, but probably not until after the new record's done. We miss playing the states. It's been a few months. Ok, good talk. Hit the showers. UK/EUROPE Headline Tour Dates Posted!!!! November 23, 2006 by Trevor Tickets are on-sale for all dates. Links for online ticket sales are posted in the Tour section. Our dear friend Ben will be coming along with us again and filming for a DVD that will someday be released. So make sure you're there representin' yo!! Back from Oz, and other news... November 11, 2006 by Trevor THANK YOU AUSTRALIA!...for being so fuckin awesome to us. We had high expectations going in for our first time there, but you guys blew them out of the water, holy fuck. Thanks for coming out to the shows and showing your support, it ruled. We hope to get back out there as soon as we can so we can all rock out again. Big thanks to Charney, Nigel, Daniel, Bug and Greg for taking care of us and the Less than Jake dudes for being rad once again, it was a time for sure. OH YEAH almost forgot to mention the Aussie (Shock Records)version of Ruiner has the exclusive bonus track "Bodies as Suitcases" (one of the band's favorites from the sessions, a pretty strong little ditty in my opinion) that was aside for "special purposes" and it finally got released. That's a little heads up for everyone else... Yo! Now that we're jetlagged and sleeping at weird hours of the day I figured I'd slip in another news post while I'm conscious. We got those Silverstein Canadian dates up, check out the shows or may god have mercy on your soul. Next tour after that one is our UK/Europe/SPAIN(!) Headliner in Jan./Feb. and those dates will be posted everywhere soon, I know tickets are on sale out there now. This time we're bringing none other than the mighty NO TRIGGER with us on this one, so prepare for some fist pumping and stuff. Good times. The new songs are coming along nicely, we're doing lots of shit that's making us giggle so you music nerds will probably dig it. Alrighty gotta run. Nap time! t LAST MINUTE SHOWS!!! October 16, 2006 by Jon Hey, so we've been invited to play some shows and drink some beers with Darkbuster and Dropkick Murphys!!! The shows are this Friday and Saturday (check the tour page for info) so get off your ass and let's party, sucka! Happy Fall, Fuckers! September 23, 2006 by Trevor So we just got back from the Rise Against Europe/UK tour and it was super! Cheers to everyone who came to the shows and Berri Txarrak for being great and RA for bringing us out there to play for all of ya'll. Many of you have been asking about when we're coming back for a headliner and it looks like it will probably be in January and if I have my way we'll be bringing along a really cool fellow U.S. band or two with us, so stay tuned for more on that as it develops. So now we write the new record. It will be fast. It will be angry. It might be sexy. Hey you know that new movie that's out where the dude has to keep his adrenaline up the whole time or he dies? That's the inspirado for it. Well, maybe not but you get the idea. We'll be going into the studio to record it early next year. Australia coming up soon, the dates are up. I want to see a kangaroo or two. I also wanna see everyone in the crowd sweating fucking balls and going apeshit or I'm going back on that damn plane and flying 30 hours back home. I wanna see Nick box a kangaroo mostly though. Our friends at Southcoast247.com recently uploaded footage of me doing a rare acoustic performance on WUMD I gave a few months ago. This is rare because I've never done it before and probably won't again since I think acoustic guitars are meant to be smashed not thrashed. Anywho, get weepy with me here: http://www.southcoast247.com/videos/index.shtml Oh, and a big thanks to my band, the London crowd, and Berri Txarrak for the cake and singing to me on stage on my b-day. I got very emotional, it was very unexpected and a great way to end the tour. Thanks guys. -trevor Step Away From The Gasoline August 23, 2006 by Trevor Hey that Lagwagon/Lawrence Arms tour was a fuckin hoot! A Barn Burner! Props to everyone on the tour for being so awesome. It was one of the best tours we've ever been on without question, so thank you guys for coming out to the shows. Our van hit over 200k on the ride home, that means we put 180k on it in the two years we've had it (since Mute Print came out) so we feel pretty fucking good about that. We also feel pretty fucking good about our next tour, with Rise Against in Europe and the UK. This will be our third trip over there this year, so obviously we love it over there, so see y'all at the shows! (They are now all posted) The Australian dates with Less Than Jake will be posted very soon and we're really really really excited to be going there too, so be prepared for annoying Mad Max quotes from all of us, cuz they're coming. step away from the gas-o-line. much love tballs p.s. i heard the howard stern clip finally, we got it recorded so thanks everyone who sent us copies of it, much appreciated. funny ass shit, still can't believe we were on it. cheers. Holy Shit We Were On Howard Stern Today July 25, 2006 by Trevor So, we were on Howard Stern's Sirius radio show this morning. Crazy. Found out in the van on our way to Montreal . I've been listening to Howard since I was in grade school and shit. Apparently Nick's aunt is a fan of his new show and sent them "Ruiner" and they played "King is Dead". I got an email from a friend a couple minutes ago that had it sorta transcribed so here it is: So, the conversation then goes as follows: Richard: "This next band is really good." Howard: "What are they called?" Richard: "A Wilhelm Scream" Howard: "Are they any good?" Richard: "Yeah, some guy in the band's aunt sent it in." Howard: "Ok, lets check it out..." Guitar intro.... Crazy drumming... The knife or the rope or the lemon, this brain and I. The sight of the drop got me off the roof. Hey, the garage looks cleaner when you look at it sideways, from high. To finally admit we are born alone and that your only one's got an only one of their own. We'll get the right sun block for the nice explosions. Oh, the king is dead. To absolve the joy from me is to erase what made me a slave. I'm a king to be. I traded my life for art and the guilt is weighing down my arms. Howard: "Woah, they really get right into it." Richard: "Yeah man, they are one of my favorite bands." Howard: "The drummer is good but its a lot of noise." Robin: "Yeah, its a lot to take." Howard: "Yeah I dont know if I buy it but its pretty good." Lagwagon tour going splendid. Drunk every day and night. Good times. Okie dokie, see ya in the pit tough guys. :) ...hot in these rhinos... v. 2 June 19, 2006 by Trevor Hey, what's up with all these fucking caterpillars? I can't walk outside without them jumping in my beer. They must know we're playing a free show in New Bedford July 13th with Another Option. It's for AHA! night, a celebration of the arts and all the great spots downtown has to offer. And go get a burrito at No Problemo. It will be downtown at Medium Studio, 79 N water street. Space very very limited, get there early. Tell yo crew. I'll tell mine. Support your scene. Then we're playing Providence July 14th, All Ages at The Living Room. Opening bands Slik Willy, Penrose, and Acerose. If it's anything like the last Living Room Show, you'll feel really fucking dumb for missing this one. So that's 2 local shows, so stop the death threats. Fuck right off!! Back In The Whaling City May 23, 2006 by Trevor The jet-lag is in full effect but we're back from our second trip to Europe and it was awesome. Started off in Belgium at the Groezrock fest and played the biggest show of our lives, to like seven thousand screaming maniacs, and that was at like 11 in the morning. Holy fucking shit it was unreal, playing the same stage as our heroes. We then covered a bunch of countries with Anti Flag and The Unseen (all great dudes) and it was all a ridiculous fun blur. Cheers to everyone who came out and supported us. We will be back soon. Now we're home for about a month (the longest amount of time off for us in ages) so we're gonna continue writing the next album. It will be thrashy I promise. The Lagwagon/Lawrence Arms/Wilhelm Scream summer tour dates are now up so get your necks ready. THE NEWEST MEMBER OF THE WILHELM FAMILY April 11, 2006 by Jon ...and it is... Brian Robinson!!! Formerly of the amazing, and (sadly) recently disbanded The Fullblast of Toronto, Brian has officially joined A Wilhelm Scream. Everyone who knows us knows he has always been our dream bassist (go listen to the Fullblast records now!). He?s a "wicked" dude and we are super lucky to have him in our family. So yeah we're fuckin stoked and have already begun writing songs for the next record with him. I'll just say that you can all expect a ridiculous amount of shredding. To quote another great group of canucks, ?You've been warned.? - Trevor OPENING DAY!!! April 3, 2006 by Jon Today was Opening Day for the Red Sox, which should be a national holiday. Of course they were dominant and we were all excited to see Coco Crisp. We're also excited because there are some big things coming up in the next few months. We begin with a Canadian tour with Protest The Hero and Bayside. Check out the tour website here for all the info: TourAndLoathing.com Also, we have new awesome t-shirt designs at our webstore!! Check it out!! And if you don't have a coozie yet, what the fuck are you waiting for? Your beer should be cold, not your hand. Enjoy. Home From Tour! March 19, 2006 by Trevor Okie dokie, after the craziness (and fun) of the Less Than jake tour, we're back. Much props to LTJ, Rock N Roll Soldiers and Damone for all being so awesome! Now we're home, writing some new songs we're psyched about and playing with some cool bass players. We've been a bit overwhelmed with audition requests, so we're not going to do an open audition at this time. Any further developments, we'll keep you posted here! We got some awesome tours coming up, first with the awesome Protest The Hero in Canada (hell yeah!) and then our return trip to Europe, supporting Anti Flag and the Unseen! (double hell yeah!) So keep an eye on tour updates, cuz they're comin' in fast. Oh yeah, the infamous Diver 7" is now out (see www.jumpstartrecords.com for info on it) so now we'll be playing that live soon, along with a few other surprises. Yay! Hope you all are having a swell end of winter! Til next time... SQUASH THAT!! February 24, 2006 by Jon Hello all!! For anyone that gives a shit...I had seen a rumor that we were planning to release a live DVD. Unfortunately, that is not true. The clip that was posted by our good friend at awilhelmscream.net, was meant to be something for him to put on his site exclusively because we thought it was pretty cool. It's a small clip from a larger piece of footage that is intended for our personal use only. He must have been confused. No biggie, we still love you Petter! (btw...check out his site, it looks awesome!) We had a friend of ours capture some footage during the Lagwagon tour in Europe, like I said, for our personal library. He did a great job, so maybe some day we will get around to putting out a full DVD that may contain some footage from this tour, but there are certainly no plans for us to release a live DVD. Respect. CHECK IT!! February 15, 2006 by Jon This is a really well done piece. Go check it out in a spare moment. TheMusicEdge.com Hey hey hey! February 8, 2006 by Trevor Hi everybody!! We've been getting an unreal amount of emails and stuff with kind words about the bass situation, (thanks for the support all!) so I figured I had to write something. And yeah, we're totally FINE and still having a great time on this tour. How did we get people to fill in for us so fast? We have lots of talented frineds, so it took us two whole hours to fix it and we didn't miss a show. We have enlisted the talents of Nick Danger of The Swellers doing the bulk of the tour with us and he is a musical maniac, it's crazy the talent of this dude. Plus he quit college to do this tour so he's got some character, which is a necessity to be around us. ;) Also filling in on select dates will be our good friend Derrick Streibig of Affections Else/Form Follows Failure fame. Anyone see Chris play bass at the Buffalo show? Roger from Less Than Jake thought we sounded like Jawbreaker. That was awesome. Maybe we should do that at one of these shows anyway, that would be something new for ya'll to witness. If you want gossip on what happened I dunno what to tell ya, I wasn't even around. "Cobra" just took his stuff and skipped out on a plane, and I haven't even talked to him since. It was personality issues with members of the band (shit boiled up inside maybe, got to him, whatever, i'm not Dr. Phil) and he was only in the band for a short amount of time, never on a record or wrote with us so this doesn't really affect the band besides the fact that we had to find a dude to fill his shoes in the middle of a tour and we're used to crises (i spell that right?) so we're all good with help from our awesome friends! If you want a more colorful version, you'll have to get someone drunk or stoned in an interview or something. Word. NOW THE FUTURE! As for a permanent bassplayer, at least for future tours (thank you for the pages of inquiries on this already by the way guys), we'll be doing alot of auditions when we're home in march and part of april. We'll set up an email account for this for you (bassplayers who can shred and sing their asses off ONLY please) to send your info (and cd's, mp3s, videotape, etc.) for our consideration in choosing who will come to New Bedford MA to try out. Only serious inquiries of course, and we will get back to you if we are interested, and we will get back to you if we are not interested. We're looking at friends and referrals from friends first since we realize how important it is to mesh personality wise with such a burly touring schedule that we undertake all year long. Of course, having said that, we will consider anyone who has the talent, EXPERIENCE and guts to do this, so feel free to impress us. yay! We'll put up that email thing in a few days and we'll start lining up auditions soon. This will be a very comprehesnive process because we have to find the right guy for us this time. Oh yeah and I can't wait to announce what will probably be the two funnest most awesome tours we'll be doing in the coming months. Stay tuned for that as well. -Trevor Curtiss flees the Scream. Tour Goes On Of course. February 6, 2006 by Trevor Hi everyone, Curtiss took off on a plane today for some reason so he's outta here. Cheers mate. In a related story, WE ARE STILL DOING THIS TOUR. (duh!) So see ya there! We won't let you down, we're not like that. Love, trevor Back From Uk/Europe, now let's do the States! January 25, 2006 by Trevor Hey all, we just got back from the most successful tour of our lives. Holy shit, it was awesome, thanks and much love to our new friends Lagwagon (rad dudes), Dave & Sylvia from Destiny Tourbooking and of course to all you punk rock maniacs for coming out to the shows and rocking the fuck out with us every night and making shit go off! Many of you spoke better English than we do and the fact that so many of you guys were singing along to our songs was inspirational to say the least, so much so we've already just confirmed when we're going back and with whom!! (Stay tuned...) Anywho, it was fun trying to break the language barriers. Now we are energized. Time for the Less Than Jake Tour, see ya there, we're going all over the place. I thought I told ya that we don't stop, I thought I toldya dat we don' stop! Proper. NEW ITEMS IN STORE January 8, 2006 by Jon Hey, check out the new belts and beer coozies in the store!!

A Wilhelm Scream: Ruiner Details, MP3, and Tour Dates June 22, 2005 by Nitro From the Nitro Records Press Release: A Wilhelm Scream unveiled today the cover art and track listing for their upcoming release, RUINER as well as a new look for their website, awilhelmscream.com. In addition, fans can now download an MP3 of Killing It (the second track on the album -'in the music section'). AWS dropped an invigorating album, Mute Print, in 2004. Word among fans and their peers spread steadily and the album became one of the ?must-hears? of the year. On the road non-stop since its release, playing with the likes of Rise Against, Strung Out, and The Lawrence Arms, AWS have converted audiences with a live show that matches the energy and complexity of the album. One year later, AWS have delivered a new album entitled, RUINER: fourteen unorthodox arrangements of punk, metal, and melody going far beyond a rehashing of their previous record. It?s a chaotic, yet skilled amalgamation of harmonized guitar riffs, literary lyrics delivered with the gruff urgency of singer Nuno Pereira, backed with melodic vocals and thundering rhythms. The band is kicking off their tour with The Lawrence Arms this Friday and will be joining The Warped Tour beginning July 20th WARPED COMP/LAWRENCE ARMS TOUR June 3, 2005 by Trevor Hi, the Lawrence Arms tour is going wonderfully. We are almost out of all our merch, but we will have all new designs and hoodies and stuff coming next week, so the west coast kids will especially have first dibs. Thanks for coming out to the shows! A track off of Ruiner [Me vs. Morrisssey in the Pretentiousness Contest (the ladder match)] is being released this coming Tuesday on the official Warped Tour 2005 Compilation. This is your first taste of the new album, and I already see some of you guys already got the comp somehow as evidenced by the unexpected singalongs at shows. kudos. Album Update/New Fan Site May 6, 2005 by Trevor Hello all. At home at the moment getting the artwork to our new record RUINER going. More info soon on that. Also, go check out the new www.Mute-Print.com!!! It's pretty much the only AWS fan site out that we know of and it rules and it's done by a fella named Petter from Sweden I believe. I just came across it by accident not too long ago and i am blown away that it exists and is so well done, so Kudos! Speaking of web sites, our new one will be up soon and it will have message boards and all that good shit, but for now check out that fan site. it's good shit. Til next time... Back From Japan/SJC Drum Charity Auction/New Album Details April 25, 2005 by Trevor Back from Japan. It was insanity. Much thanks and love to Smash, Big Mouth and Toy's Factory for showing us a great time and Strike Anywhere for being so cool. It was great meeting all of our new Japanese friends/fans out there and thank you all for being so nice to a bunch of dumb ass American dudes. We will be back soon. NITRO RECORDS & SJC CUSTOM DRUMS TO RAISE MONEY FOR TSUNAMI RELIEF Nitro Records and SJC Custom Drums (owned by Mike Ciprari, drummer for the band No Trigger, and his brother Scott Ciprari) are auctioning off an SJC custom-made snare drum signed by Dexter Holland (The Offspring), Rufio, The Aquabats, The Start and A Wilhelm Scream in order to raise money for the Tsunami Relief Fund. This exclusive drum will be auctioned off on EBAY beginning Monday, April 25th. All proceeds will be donated to UNICEF's South Asia Tsunami Relief Efforts in the winner's name. Scott Ciprari says, "This drum is more than an object to be auctioned off based on its looks. It is a drum that was made with deep meaning, a drum that carries a message. My brother and I don't have tons of money to send to the help the victims of the tsunami, but we do possess skills that can bring relief to the victims, and a sense of realization to society. So even if you don't have tons of money to send, understand that there are hundreds of things that you and anyone else can do to help." Drum Specs: Temararus Priscus 6.25" x 14" 10 ply maple shell with double 45 edges Green tea stain with a super high-gloss lacquer Cast Iron grey powder coated 1.5" tube lugs - off-set 1.25" Cast Iron grey hoops feature a .5" pine veneer inlay with a natural wax finish Black Trick throwoff Go to www.nitrorecords.com for more details!!! That's all for now. We decided on the title of our new record. Ruiner will be out at the end of July. See ya soon. Hello from the other side of the planet!!! April 17, 2005 by Chris Yeah I said it, the other side of the fuckin' planet. Unbelievable. Japan has been really good to us so far, these kids go fuckin' nuts. That's it. Sianara. Back home/ PunkRadiocast top 40 April 7, 2005 by Trevor Hi, we're back from the Blasting Room. The record came out awesome and we are stoked! We dunno what we're gonna call the album yet, but when we know, you'll know here, so stay tuned. It will be out at the end of July on Nitro. In the meantime, look for the song "Killing It" on a Nitro Records summer sampler and with all the Nitro bands on tour and on Warped Tour. If you get a minute, go on over to www.punkradiocast.com and vote for the song "The Rip" on their top 40 countdown. We want the top slot!! haha. That's all to post for now. We go to Japan very soon (next week) and we are excited as hell. I can't wait for the food. Then it's a short east coast run with Boy Sets Fire right when we get back all jetlagged, followed by Bamboozle in Jersey, where you will all see a new friendly vegetarian face in the aws camp. More exciting news as it develops. Go to www.southcoast247.com and talk some junk to me in the jive section! STUDIO JOURNAL NOW UP!!!!!!!!!!! March 17, 2005 by Trevor Hey kids, I am now doing a studio journal live from The Blasting Room so check it out! I'm doing it for www.SouthCoast247.com again (like the tour journal a while back) and it's a really fun site so check it out now!!!! I'm on the front page. That's all for now. If you wanna see the blood sweat and tears of making this album along with as many fart jokes I can think of (lots of material to work from here), then swing on by there or may god have mercy on your soul. Peace!!! The triumphant return of DJ studio beard and crew. March 14, 2005 by Chris Day 2 of our completely windowless life at the blasting room here in Ft. Collins, and things are going splendidly. Nick is in the middle of tracking drums, and he seems to be tearing through the songs at a pretty good pace. I think Trevor and I are up next, so that'll be hell on earth/guitar mania for a few days. Bill still farts a lot, and we're all really hairy so no news there. There have been a few Yankees, Red Sox clashes on the old PS2 between me and Nuno. And the Yankees still rule (at least in the video game world, not so much in the real world). So that's all for now, more recording updates as they develop. Late. Another Best of 2004, ultra caffeinated March 4, 2005 by Trevor Hi there, just got this in. We 've been getting on alot of "best of 2004" lists lately for newspapers and magazines and the like for "Mute Print" and we think that's rad and we're humbled and appreciative and stuff, but we never posted them cuz, like, that's kinda lame dude. But anyway, we got this one in today and thought it was pretty neat cuz it's a web site about coffee or something, i have no idea, but I' drinking coffee right now. But hey, they have us along with tom waits and i think that's pretty gnarly, so check it out here: http://www.needcoffee.com/html/2004noms.htm thanks dudes!!! NEW ALBUM UPDATE February 8, 2005 by Trevor Hi! Wanted to thanks everyone that voted for us in the punkradiocast.com thingy. I think we got 7th out of 40 which is awesome. That site's cool. We've been demoing the new material for the record, and we've got about 17 songs to pick from to put on the record, and we're excited about it. Some titles include "Less Bright Eyes, More Deicide", "For Some People Every Day is Black T-Shirt Day" and "Me vs. Morrissey in the Pretentiousness Contest (The Ladder Match)". Look for the record in June on Nitro. We go to record it with Bill Stevenson and Jason Livermore at the Blasting Room next month. Have a nice February. VOTE FOR US ON PUNKRADIOCAST.COM !!!! dude. January 31, 2005 by Trevor Hey, all of you should check out Punkradiocast and vote for us this week on their top 40 countdown!! They just informed us that we've been added.

Go here now....... http://www.punkradiocast.com/TOP10.php Oh yeah, also check out the new (March) issue of Alternative Press where we've been chosen as one of the bands to "watch out for" in 2005. I said some dumb shit in the interview, of course. In the same issue, Nick's featured in an ad for Pro-Mark drum sticks, which he endorses. That's a first for us, pretty fucking cool so check it out!!! News Update Suckas January 13, 2005 by Trevor Well hello there! We're back from the Rise Against tour and it was incredible, probably the best yet! Much love and respect to the RA guys and crew and also The Explosion and Most Precious Blood who were rad to watch every night as well. And thank YOU ALL for coming out to the shows! You all represented very well indeed! Here's some new news for ya'll... 1. The day we got home I went to work on some new songs I've had swirling around in my dome and they're turning out great, I think we've got all the material ready to go for when we record the follow-up to Mute Print in March. Lots of people have been asking me what the new stuff is coming out like, and I can only say that it is definitely the next logical step after the Mute Print material, with some definite "what the fuck?" moments. I'm really really excited about the new songs and hopefully you all will be too when you finally hear it. (Summer '05) Boot camp for that starts this week. 2. Our wonderful booking agent has new contact info and it is CorrieChristopher@theagencygroup.com. I know it's not on our contact page, but it will be on our new web site we've been talking alot about lately. 3. Yes, we're headed to Japan supporting Strike Anywhere in April after we record. We're stoked. 4. Many of you may have heard, and yes, the rumors are true... We're on Myspace now. Check us out and write obscene messages and "network" like Raydingo does. www.myspace.com/awilhelmscream 5. You guys can check out a tour diary I recently did for a newspaper web site called www.southcoast247.com Just go to "The Jive" section and you can read all about the Strung Out tour and all the hookers we met. Yay! Ok, that's all I can think of right now. Back to the lab. Take care and happy new year everyone! -t DUDE WHERE'S MY TRAILER?! January 4, 2005 by Trevor Yeah, so we're on our first day of the tour in Ohio, and our trailer, the incredible bulk, decides he wants to retire permanently. So much so that he snaps his tire off and cracks his axle. We watched him get carried off to the junkyard by a dude named Jim. He will be missed. Much thanks to Rise Against and The Explosion for helping us out big time and carrying some of our big cases and stuff so we could get to NJ and buy a new trailer. She doesn't have a name yet, but I am convinced it is a girl because she seems very strong willed and has a powerful axle, qualities I look for in a woman. Anywho, the tour with RA is going great, we're stoked (I gotta get rid of my california lingo) to be out here. We'll see y'all in Boston tonight. Get there very early, cuz it will sell out. Peace and love. ON TOUR (OF COURSE) December 8, 2004 by Trevor Yeah so we're in salt lake city at the moment, doing our truck stop thing. We've been on the Strung Out tour for a little while now and it's been a swell time to say the least so far. All the bands are really really cool and rockin', especially Haste the Day, super nice dudes. We have just been confirmed to go to JAPAN for a series of shows with Strike Anywhere in April and I can barely contain myself. The dates will be up as soon as all the details are worked through. After this tour, we're gonna hammer out the new material and record it with Bill Stevenson and Jason Livermore at the Blasting Room in March. This is of course followed by our run with Rise Against and the Explosion starting at the first of the year. Life is good people. Come out to a show and give me a hug. Red Sox DVD Out Today!! November 23, 2004 by Jon So I heard some news that the Red Sox DVD that hits shelves today has outsold any championship video ever released...and that's just in pre-sales!!! Yeah, that's right. The Red Sox are still awesome and the bandwagon is very full. Anyway, we just added some more shows to the tour page, including a Boston show with Rise Against in the coming new year. It would be great to see everyone out for this show. REPRESENT! Get your tix early!! Nitro Records has just put together a label sampler that features bands like Don't Look Down, The Start, Letters Organize, AFI, Rufio, The Vandals, etc... We'll have them at our shows for $1 or FREE with a copy of Mute Print!! We're excited about Nitro's new line-up and we want everyone on this bandwagon as well. We're in need of some more street team members!!! If you are interested in helping pass out flyers and spread the word about AWS, then please contact caldera@nitrorecords.com. You'll get some free shit from Nitro and possibly free admission to some AWS shows. Also, head over to Downloadpunk.com and check out an exclusive FREE track from our Mute Print demo, called Fuck You, I Run Hollywood." It didn't make the cut, but we thought it was cool enough to share with y'all. If you play guitar...head over to www.Ernieball.com and get yourself some new strings and maybe a shiny new Stingray for Christmas. Also, check out our boys in Over It at www.overitonline.com. They have a new album coming out in February and we've been lucky enough to preview it. It is AMAZING!! Well, that's all the shameless plugs I can think of right now. Ridiculous!! TODAY'S SHOW IN BALTIMORE CANCELLED! November 17, 2004 by Trevor The AWS/LMD show at the SideBar in Baltimore has been cancelled due to scheduling problems at the venue. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. The show will be made up in the near future. Thank you. Good night. It's Another Wednesday November 3, 2004 by Trevor Yeah, so we have the same shitty President. We're all gonna die. Anywho, before we die, we're gonna go on tour with Love Me Destroyer in the Northeast in a couple weeks, so check the tour dates (2 New Bedford shows kids)and come on out. Tell your buddies. After that, we're off to the west coast with Strung Out and Only Crime for the month of December. Meanwhile, we're in the middle of the battle royale we call pre-production for our new album that we're gonna record in March with Bill Stevenson and Jason Livermore at the Blasting Room. We're excited about the new stuff (because it's hard for us to play. boo-hoo)and we're busting our asses so we hope ya like it. Oh yeah, and check out our new video and myspace page at http://www.myspace.com/awilhelmscream. Alrighty gotta go back to the lab. Let's hope Armageddon's as fun as the movie made it look. Jason Varitek for President!!! October 28, 2004 by Jon Absolutely Amazing!!! The Red Sox have won a World Series Championship in our lifetime!!! I officially nominate Jason Varitek as the team MVP. Never before has there been a player that is so dominant in controling an entire pitching staff, a game, or a team. Thank You Jason...you put to rest my life's greatest fear, and the Red Sox won a World Series in my lifetime!! Best year ever, man. Are The Red Sox A Religion?? October 27, 2004 by Jon We certainly believe so. People who haven't grown up Red Sox fans can't begin to understand. My nerves are shot. Thank you to all who have been supportive to us...but we cannot exhale just yet... Maybe we'll begin returning phone calls next week. PS...I just posted a bunch of new tour dates (including some MA shows), and check AWS out on purevolume.com A kind staff member has decided to feature us on the front page. Thanks everyone!!! RED SOX FEVER CATCH IT October 21, 2004 by Trevor Yeah so everyone who came out to our shows for the last five months or so knows how we've been hyping the red sox up like crazy and the day of victory has arrived. Yes we are psychic. Everyone can join the bandwagon now. Enough said. Next stop world series domination. As for us, well, we're going on tour with Strung Out and Only Crime in December for a string of dates, so we're not doing too shabby either! Fuck yeah. So, in recap, Red Sox rule the Earth tonight, we rule the east coast with Love Me Destroyer in November, rule the west coast with Strung Out in December, and will be ruling the midwest and east coast with a very special band to us that we cannot confirm here just yet, but in January. Oh yeah, and in the meantime we'll be writing the followup to Mute Print and recording that at the end of winter. I am tentatively titling it "Super Mute Print". Life is good. Smooches. P.S. I heard AC/DC will be at Axis at the Big D Halloween bash playing our songs. Just a rumor maybe... Where does the time go??? October 6, 2004 by Chris So after just over five months and around 60,000 miles we are back home. I woke up this morning and realized that it's FUCKIN FALL!!! And I'm freezing. Anyway this tour was an absolute blast and I can't believe that we were gone for so long, it really doesn't seem that way. We want to send out much love and respect to all that we toured with. Here's a short list in no particular order. Kill Radio, Head Automatica, The Kinison, Rise Against, Stretch Armstrong, The Lawrence Arms, The Cardinal Sin, Adair, Near Miss, The Fullblast, Over It, Stole Your Woman, Break The Silence, Much The Same and of course all of the bad ass bands that shared the Smartpunk.com stage with us on the Warped Tour. And we're not done yet, we have the CMJ showcase on Oct. 14 in NYC. The Big D And The Kids Table 1,000,000th annual Halloween show at Axis in Boston on when else...Halloween. And one last short tour this year with our good friends Love Me Destroyer before locking ourselves up in Trevors basement to work on the follow up to Mute Print. That's all for now...I rule you! A-Rod is a bell end... September 25, 2004 by Jon Greetings from St. Louis!!! We're having an awesome time with Head Automatica and Kill Radio!! The shows have been really fun. We do miss the guys in the Kinison...but I'm sure we'll see them again soon. Tonight is Creepy Crawl time. We like that dirty ass place!! So there's a lot going on. Our video for "Famous Friends and Fashion Drunks" should be up online soon. We're coming home soon to work on our new album. We're going to try to give people a preview of a song or two from our demos in the next couple months. We plan to record our follow up full length to Mute Print ealy next year. In the meantime...check out www.nitrorecords.com. They just released some great albums from Don't Look Down and The Start!!! We're also going to be doing a bunch of shows in the Northeast, including the CMJ showcase in NY, the Big D and the Kids Table annual Halloween show, and a short tour with our good friends in Love Me Destroyer. All the details will be worked out soon. So keep checking the tour dates page for updates. We're planning some shows in New Bedford, which is always exciting for us to be at home with our friends and family. Speaking of family...the Red Sox are in an important series this weekend with the Yankees. I hope everyone is rooting for the team that's not a bunch of assholes. It's actually still possible for the Sox to win the East. The Yanks can't put them away. Til next time... Check out our friends: www.lovemedestroyer.net www.overitonline.com Good Morning Flying J!!! August 31, 2004 by Jon Like so many mornings before, the incredible power of the sun has forced me to squirm out of my bunk way before I should have been done sleeping. And so to kill time while everyone else sleeps, I use the high speed services provided here at the Flying J to update you on various events. We just got done with our short run with Rise Against and Stretch Armstrong. Needless to say, it was AMAZING to share the stage with such great bands!! The shows were incrdible, and we spent just enough time with everyone to realize that we need to tour again in the future. Everyone was just so nice to us. It's refreshing to see that some bands still do it right. A big thank you to everyone involved in giving us this opportunity. Chicago was off the hook!! Also, thanks to all our friends and fans who came out to the shows! Respect. Tour continues today as we meet up with KillRadio and The Kinison in Denver. Everyone check the tour dates for more info. This tour is going to be crazy!! Also, we are confirmed to play the Downloadpunk/Take Action CMJ Showcase in NYC at Downtime (upstairs) on Oct. 14th. It's our first time playing the CMJ's. Right now our music is being featured at Downloadpunk.com Check the site out. It has a pretty extensive selection of music, comedy, etc...and it's reasonably priced. Oh yeah, by the way, the Red Sox have won 18 of their last 22 games. Needless to say, they are on a fucking roll. In other news, the Yankees have shat themselves. Good Day. ROAAAARRRGHHH! August 21, 2004 by Trevor WHOAH. Just got off Warped Tour and what a way to end it! The Boston date was the most people we have ever played to as a band. Ever. So I wanted to thank everyone who came out and went nutsa. Holy Moly. It was very unexpected cuz we haven't toured the northeast in a long time, so props to y'all for the support. It blew our minds. Well, the tourin' don't stop so we're in Long Island at our old friend Lieber's house catching up on old times. That fucking dude is a riot. Anywho, we're making our way out to do the Rise Against dates and we can't wait. We'll have all kinds of new shirts and buttons and stuff to pawn off on all who attend so beware. We're bringing Ray too so be very afraid. After that, we go out with Kill Radio so we've got a hefty run ahead!(what?)Oh yeah we just got confirmed for CMJ in NYC for the DownloadPunk/Take Action showcase on Oct. 14th which will take us right into our pals Shamus and Moose's wedding. See you all out there! Go Red Sox. No More Nomar... August 9, 2004 by Jon So the Cubs got Nomar. Good luck to them. We'll see them in the World Series. After a short break, we're getting ready to hit the road again on Friday. We're gonna be playing some Warped Tour dates on the Smartpunk Stage and then we're doing a short run with Rise Against and Stretch Armstrong. So everyone can check out our tour page for all the info. We're also going to be setting up an online merch store thanks to our new friends at Flipside Industries. Hopefully we'll have that up and running in the next couple of weeks. There will be a limited supply of shirts, from the Dennis Yuk series, available online and at our shows. If you're not familiar with the legend of Yuk, you will be soon!! Also, our video should be ready for release by the end of the month. We'll keep you all updated. That's it for now. Come talk to us at warped tour. We'll be the pissed off guys with the horrible sunburns. late For all AWS booking, please contact deborah@fiercetalent.net Christians buy lots of merch (not ours) July 26, 2004 by Trevor Yeah so we're chilling in Phoenix while our trailer gets a new axle or something so it looks like we have to cancel the next few shows and haul ass to Pittsburgh to play the last show on this leg of our never-ending tour yeehaw! Special thanks go out to the Lawrence Arms for taking us out. We had a blast with those guys and the Cardinal Sin so thanks to all that came out to the shows and showed us love. We appreciate it. Holy shit we just shot a video in Hollywood last week for the song "Famous Friends and Fashion Drunks" and it was an insane experience to say the very least. You'll see why when the video comes out, but everyone who sees me walking around town with a gash on my nose and everyone's welts bruises and cuts will see what good sports we are. Much thanks and love go out to the Lowbrow brothers and their awesome crew who all made the shoot a smash. Literally. More on that in a few weeks. Alrighty hope all is well, be good. MC PEE-PANTS June 28, 2004 by Trevor Yeah, chilling in Kansas City, gonna go see the Royals play the Orioles today. Yikes. We'll be the guys cheering on the Red Sox in the stands. Tour's been rolling swell-like. Just met up with Adair, who are nice fellas and rock hard proper. Saw the new Michael Moore movie in Iowa the other day. It was pretty damn good. Gotta split, see ya at the shows! Hi Lois!!! Hi Franky!!! June 22, 2004 by Jon We just had a 3 day stay in the lovely city of Chicago. Thanks to Andy and Dan for their hospitality and Kyra for her sweet generosity. We partied up with some of our best of friends in Near Miss, Break the Silence and Much the Same, and celebrated Brian's (BTS) birthday...you old son of a bitch!! Lots of beer!! We're gonna miss you all. Thanks to everyone who came out and made the shows fucking awesome!! We probably won't be back in Chicago until the Red Sox are playing the Cubs in the World Series. You bet your ass we'll be at Wrigley heckling the cubbies. Anyway, keep checking our tour dates. New shows are now up and more will be added. We're going to be making a video for the song "Famous Friends and Fashion Drunks" next month. We'll let everyone know more info as it develops. Also, we haven't been able to change the info on our contact page yet, but for all booking inquiries...please go to www.fiercetalent.net and contact Corrie. She's a sweetheart!! Anyway, we're looking forward to seeing everyone at the shows. So come out and we'll have a beer. late IT'S HOT AS BALLS HERE (EVERYWHERE) June 10, 2004 by Trevor Wow, first off I wanna say special thanks to all the kids who've been coming out to the shows, especially the kids in florida, super-especially to the kids who drove fucking over three hours to see alot of these shows or buy the cd. Now that's dedication, I'm speechless. Tour's going great, lots of drinking with Near Miss. Lots of injuries and sickness too, lemme see... one knee surgery recovery, one food poisoning, walking pnemonia, torn shoulder thingy, bleeding throat (for some reason, real gross), one really messed up looking knuckle, countless sore heads and fingers from fisticuffs, some severely jacked up gashes on hands, and that's just our band. Perhaps we are getting old. Lots more touring ahead, so check the tour page from time to time. We'll be out with the Lawrence Arms (great fuckin band)in the US and the Fullblast in Canada coming up soon as well as some Warped Tour dates and more stuff unfolding as we speak.

March 1, 2004 by Chris I'm sitting at a Flying J with Gunner, Dan, Frank, and a bunch of free pizza. It's 2:00 AM and Fresno was a fucking disaster. Long story short, after all was said and done, us, Break The Silence, Much The Same, and Total Chaos wound up with $8 to split between the bands. While the club owner walked with over $500. Not that we're in it for the money, but we gotta eat. How's that for a kick in the balls? P.S. Dave stole a popsicle for all of us to share and got assaulted for it (by a woman). He takes such good care of us.
