us that BYO Records is reporting that they will release Consumed's album "Pistols At Dawn" on March 25 of this year. The album was released in Europe last year on Golf Records and garnered much critical acclaim from those who has heard it in North America. BYO should have more info up on the release soon.

As an addendum to this good news, I recieved an email from Wesley, formerly of Consumed today, confirming the BYO news and also informing me that he has left the band on good terms. - Aubin

Speaking of Better Youth, the label will release Pistol Grip's second full length album "Another Round" on April 8. The band will tour the US in late March through late April with the Swingin' Utters (and One Man Army on some dates). Tentative dates are up on the band's site. Pistol Grip will also hit Europe in June with Youth Brigade to play Holidays In The Sun and tour a bit.
