Moral Crux have announced plans to do a complete re-recording of their album Nothing But The Truth, along with a brand new full length. This continues the Jailhouse! Records series of Moral Crux vinyl remasters, which began with the debut self-titled full length and most recently with the Pop Culture Assassins album. Next up to get the reissue treatment will be the record Was A Teenage Teenager.

The label is also continuing to reissue out of print albums from Tampa punk group Pink Lincolns. Recently, the label unleashed a remastered and reissued version of Pink Lincolns' Back From The Pink Room. Jailhouse! plans to continue the reissues with the band's release Suck and Bloat.

The releases have all been pulled from the original recordings, and mastered using DMM technology to achieve a purported "audiophile quality."

No Motiv working on "Winterlong" EP

2008-07-19T16:00:02-05:00

Oxnard, CA's No Motiv has posted a lengthy update via MySpace, updating fans on their projects since their hiatus began in 2005. The band also confirmed a new recording dubbed Winterlong:

Even though we haven't been a band for 3 years, we still accumulated an EP worth of songs between Daylight Breaking and now. We had the intention of using these songs for a new full length album, but with everything happening right now, that won't be happening any time soon. Max recently moved to New York, so that dispels any possibility of a No Motiv tour in the near future. Therefore, we decided it was time to record what we had written, and within the last 2 months, we've been working on what we are calling "Winterlong". The EP contains the last 6 songs we wrote together and is being recorded at my studio in Santa Ana, CA. We're excited to be able to have the freedom and flexibility to record and produce the songs ourselves at our own pace with no outside pressure or expectations.

The majority of the recording is done, but the process is currently on hold while I'm gone on tour working sound for our friends in RX Bandits. We have no other formal info as of yet, but we expect the songs to be finished by October. We will work out the details as the months go on, but we want to hold true to the name of the EP and release it in the winter. We haven't decided the medium in which it will be released, but we're gonna work on adding some cool things with the whole EP package.

The band last released Daylight Breaking in 2004.

I Hate Sally (2000-2008)

2008-07-19T13:00:02-05:00

Kingston, Ontario's I Hate Sally is splitting up. The band posted a statement to their MySpace page bidding fans farewell:

As everyone has come to suspect (well, our moms) we will no longer be playing live. Come to think of it, we won't be writing anymore music either. Oh shit! Our band is breaking up!

We got to play Germany, release two full-length records, blow up lots of vans, get bad beer guts....we were a band for over 7 years, lots of crap happened, I'm sure you can get all the dirt from the soon to be released IHS bio (ha, no).

The punk / metal act most recently released a split with Quebec's GFK.

The mixing and mastering has just been plauged with problems and setbacks including having to transfer everything to new studios for the process. But everything is finally about wrapped up and we swear it will be out soon among a few other new releases.

The record is expected at some point this year via No Idea Records.
