our first CD! our first 16 songs on CD. 3 different pressings. £6 for order. matt ash (our omnipotent guitarist) has designed it and put it together. if you want, please order! share it around to your collector mates too - he’s self funding it cos we’ve only done vinyl/tapes with labels. pretty cool idea.

Album Review: Lay It on the Line/Arizona - Split EP
London based melodic-hardcore group Lay It On The Line have teamed up with Belgian rock boys Arizona to bring out this ‘Split EP’ - two songs from each group, taking on passionate emotive hardcore to an acoustic number.
Starting with Arizona, their two tracks is melodic rock with undertones of hardcore and metal, they also provide the acoustic track giving the EP a chilled out closing.
‘I Knew A Girl At School Called Pandora, Never Got To See Her Box Though’ is a mouthful of a title to say the least, combining heavy guitar lines and clean vocals it is a pretty standard rock tune, towards the ending however you see it pick up with a heavier feel, the guitars are still ferocious (a bit cliché in terms of riffs) and the vocals step up to the heavier instrumentation.
this is nice - review likening us to polar and dead swans. we approve of such comparisons
so i was backstage with random hand at the underworld in london last night. saw this on the wall - i was at that gig, and a fucking amazing show it was. my only time watching shipwreck AD, one of 2 times i’ve seen verse and one of 3 times i got to see have heart. but THAT is one fucking awsome lineup.

so tristan can’t do our july tour, so i made a spotify playlist of our set to give to the person covering bass duties.
then i thought, maybe some people who don’t get to watch us would be interested what the set would be. so here is a spotify playlist with it. i am putting my foot down about having the cro-mags cover in there.

i fucking love this blog. they are always good to us too.
i’m very proud of this song. someone’s just put it on youtube. if you haven’t heard it, i hope you like it - and i hope you don’t think we’ve nicked too heavily from a certain more than life song…
a bit of an update…
hello. ladies and gentlemen. lay it on the line’s tallest member here. few things have happened the last few days so thought i’d write about it…
1. we are doing a load of gigs in belgium/benelux in july with arizona to back out split EP we just did together. they’ve already been booked but we aren’t trusted yet to know where they all are. suffice to say we’re supporting arizona for a load of shows and they are going to be great. when i know details, i’ll put them up.
2. we booked a london show today….should have the flyer up tomorrow - it’s well soon (may 19th)
3. i’m waiting anxiously for the test presses of the vinyl of ‘crowhurst’ to arrive at my apartment. should be any day…
so yeah, all good things. if you haven’t got ‘crowhurst’ or the split with arizona yet as digital releases, they are free from http://layitontheline.bandcamp.com - the link to buy the vinyl is on there too.
