Darren writes "Samiam sign to Hopeless Records
If you've ever wished a favorite band resurrected, that of instead of really breaking up, they were just taking a hiatus to charge back rested, ready, smarter, and quite frankly, better than ever, it's time to count your lucky stars. Samiam, long-time, ultra-respected pop punkers have signed to Hopeless Records. Like spinning dials to a safe to get the booty, Samiam have twisted through some hard times, but the payoff is extraordinary. And you get the riches. In March, 2000, they're going to record for their new album, "Astray," slated for release in August. The album is being produced by Tim O?Heir (Sebadoh, Folk Implosion). All systems are go, go, go. " This is amazing. I've been waiting for a new home for Samiam forever. And they're finally on a label that will treat them with respect.
