BURY THE LIVING 10 TH ANNIVERSARY SHOW!

Bury The Living are playing a ( delayed) 10th Anniversary show in Memphis on June 24th at the Hi-tone! Jack is the barfield hooked them up with a sweet poster design for the Show. BTL are busy writing and recording a new Album, which will be released on Memphis'  SOUL IS CHEAP label- who released the band's first classic album.

Pat and Chris From BTL are also in an Upcoming Horror movie that will be out on DVD In  September - Check out the trailer here.

HAPPY 10TH ANNIVERSARY ..BURY THE LIVING!!

Today marks the 10 Year anniversary of Memphis, TN hardcore band BURY THE LIVING , who formed on Halloween in 1998! BTL have gone through extensive line up changes over the years and long periods of Inactivity, the most recent being after their 2006European tour. They played briefly at the start of the year- doing a near " tour" of venues in Memphis one week,but are happy to report they are rehearsing again and hoping to record a new Self-released 7" EP shortly, to be followed by some touring outside of Memphis.

Their Prank debut, "All The News That's Fit to Scream" We're especially proud of in it's direct political attack, in a era of hardcore that largely sidestepped that. Like all the memphis bands, BTL is a unique cast of characters from One time Semi-pro wrestler Singer Pat to Drummer Ceylon who is well known for his committment to Activism and brings that to the band, as well as musicianship of his long time band PEZZ and current band Akasha who both share members with BTL.

Happy anniversary BURY THE LIVING!

YEAR OF THE RAT UNBURIES THE LIVING!!!

After another of it's long, weird "only in Memphis" Hiatuses BURY THE LIVING are playing shows again, and have , of course, picked a contraversial doozy to come back with:

March 17th w/ M.O.D., and Evil Army
@ Hi-Tone (1913 Poplar Ave, Memphis 9pm, $10)

where the super-left leaning BTL , probably, sadly one of the few current US hardcore band featuring a living breathing peace activist and M.O.D. , who've based a career around speed metal songs about things like nuking "ass-ghanistan" will find common ground, well, grab a ringside seat and find out.

Also I highly recommend the EVIL ARMY LP from 2006, which if you look on their label's website is set to be re-pressed shortly on colored vinyl. Great lo-fi punk cross over somewhere inbetween COC and VENOM or something. A fun, blazing listen.

Gung Hay fat Choy!
