Lovitt has posted an update on their plans for the rest of the year.

Chicago's Pinebender is currently working on a new full length at Electrical Audio in Chicago, IL. The album will be released in the fall and the band is promising 8 songs running more than 60 minutes.

Fin Fang Foom has added cellist Cynthia Main and recently wrapped up an untitled EP for Japanese label Stiffslack. The band will be touring Japan this fall to support the release . They will also start working on a new full length soon to be released next year on Lovitt.

Des Ark is recording five new songs in Richmond, VA with Jonathan Fuller (Engine Down, Denali, Bats and Mice) for their split record with Ben Davis. The split was originally promised in 2004 and was supposed to feature Rosebuds but Des Ark will be filling in.

Haram is working on new material with Jeff Kane (City of Caterpillar) who joined the band after the last record was recorded and hope to record a record with him later this year.
