Alkaline Trio's forthcoming album 'This Addiction' is now available to pre-order from the Hassle Records store .
'This Addiction' will be released 22/02/10 and comes on CD / Deluxe CD + DVD / LP and MP3 download, complete with a range of exclusive bundle options, including t-shirt and beanie hat (as below).
In addition to the instore performance announced below, the WATO guys have added some more signings at record shops around the country. They'll be doing their thing at the following places to support the release of 'Cutting Our Teeth':
Signings 1st Feb – Reflex, 23 Nun St , Newcastle , NE1 5AG (5pm) 2nd Feb – Avalanche, 34 Dundas St , Glasgow , G1 2AQ (4.30pm) 3rd Feb – Crash, 35 The Headrow, Leeds , LS1 6PU (5pm) 4th Feb – Spillers, 36 The Hayes, Cardiff, CF10 1AJ (5pm) 5th Feb – Tempest Records, 83 Bull St, Birmingham, B4 6AB (5pm)
Instore signing and live performance 13th Banquet, Kingston , London (6pm)
Big announcement this - We Are The Ocean will be joining the likes of All Time Low, You Me At Six and The Blackout by playing a free instore show for those very lovely people over at Banquet Records (that's Kingston in Zone 6 of London) on Saturday 13th February.
Details on the flyer below, but it's important to note that this will be the band's ONLY London area show around album release, so for all you capital city / Southern types, there's no excuse not to get down to see the boys do their thing.
Now, as flyer states, the instore is free and for all ages, but tickets are required and are only at the discretion of Banquet staff, so we suggest you sweeten them up a bit by either popping into the store to place a pre-order for We Are The Ocean's KKKK (Kerrang!) and 9/10 (Rock Sound) rated debut album 'Cutting Our Teeth' or take your chance to do so online @ banquetrecords.com
And for a preview for the kind of thing the boys will be dishing out, check these two videos we took from the band's support slot with Thrice on Monday night at The Cockpit in Leeds. Both songs are taken from 'Cutting Our Teeth', so also give you a flavour of what to expect from the new album.
It's been a busy weekend for some of our bands and their videos. Fireworks' awesome video for 'Detroit' got premièred on MTVU in the US, and both Alkaline Trio and We Are the Ocean have been filming for upcoming singles (the tracks 'This Addiction' and 'These Days I Have Nothing' respectively).
Go here for the 'Detroit' video and then check out some photos from the Alk3 and WATO shoots (follow @Alkaline_Trio and @wearetheocean for more pics). Happy viewing!
