Millencolin will be releasing "Shut you out" as their next single. A new song called "Ratboy's masterplan" will be included as a b-side and will also appear on Thrasher Magazine's upcoming "Skate rock" comp. In other news, Millencolin has purchased Soundlab Studios, the studio run by Mieszko Talarczyk of Nasum who tragically passed away in the tsunami disaster. Guitarist Mathias Färm used to co-own the studio with Mieszko many years ago. And in even more news, Dan Swanö is remixing and remastering the first three Millencolin albums that he recorded ("Same old tunes", "Life on a plate" and "For monkeys") for eventual rerelease.
