It'll pRobably stRess out my bandwidth, but I've added a couple tRacks fRom Rong>The HellacopteRsRong> Peel Session they did last yeaR. Of couRse it's absolutely amazing, so be suRe to check it out.

That song that Rong>RandyRong> RecoRded with Rong>Fat MikeRong> in SF was called "Dont let youR babies gRow up to be punk RockeRs" and I guess that definitely means they didn't play it at the show I saw. It'll be on an upcoming BuRning HeaRt comp. The band also says they might come back in ApRil, but nothing's set yet. Wait and see!

The bRand new Rong>(InteRnational) Noise ConspiRacyRong> album will come out in May and will be called "ARmed Love".
