Chalksounds has posted an update concerning the long wait for the upcoming debut album from The End Will Be Kicks: http://www.chalksounds.com/shownews.php?show=64
As someone with their own money-losing indie label, I can definitely commiserate with Magnus and his money woes. Shit ain't easy, I can assure you. But I can also assure you that this record, when it finally comes out, will kick your ass. The demos and rough mixes I've heard are amazing and it's still one of my most anticipated new releases for 2005.
