Burning lungs and a pact with the devil

A few of us at BnC HQ do a bit of work in the music promotion scene. This involves putting up a lot of posters, which generally sucks.

Luckily, there’s a cure for boring poster runs. Bikes. Throw three ugly punks onto bikes, arm them with a messenger bag full of posters and a few rolls of tape, and BAM! You’ve got yourself a high-speed, highly mobile postering machine.

It’s also a great time to be on the roads. No cars, no cares. So keep your eyes peeled next time you’re out on a dark, cold night…you may see something out the corner of your eye.

Bottles and Chains encourages you to attend:

Between The Devil and The Deep with Lungs (both from Sydney)
@ The Loft, Hobart
Saturday June 7
5pm ALL AGES – 8pm (-ish) 18+

Be there, all the cool kids are doing it.

We are bike people

Some friends of ours made a magazine featuring all things good and local. They called it Paperpeople. It’s a free street-press style mag that’s been distributed through records stores, pubs and cafes around the state. Amazingly enough, that includes some of the bottles’n’chains crew. Not to mention a cover shot featuring our own Chaos Spurr on a BnC custom BMX. Local pride? You know it!

Track it down and check it out. In the mean time, hit their website and look at some photos. We’re in there.

Thrash it ’til it breaks

This has been on repeat at BnC HQ since I ‘discovered’ a copy of it on Friday. I’m a massive fan of Against Me! and it’s safe to say I was worried about the direction of this album. I’m still really disappointed that they’re on a major label, but they’ve definitely crafted an amazing record right here. It’s released officially on July 10, and I’d highly recommend getting your hands on it. Catchy as all hell.
