Blunt Guts and a wide variety of punk, noise, sludge, grindcore releases on Prime Eggsample Records’ Bandcamp. Check it out here: http://primeeggsamplerecords.bandcamp.com/

Both of our releases are on our bandcamp for free download: http://bluntguts315.bandcamp.com/

Future releases:
- Track on comp released by DIY NOISE, set to be released early-mid Spring 2012.

Plans:
Since all of our shows are in Syracuse, we can’t wait to leave for a mini-tour with BRIAN! and Dance-a-tron.  The Syracuse scene is small but intact, we’d probably love for your band to come out and play a show at Badlands.

Purpose of the band:
To deceive you as a bunch of stoners yet mindfuck you with the seemingly contradictory hyper-speed riffage and non-weed-relative subject matter.


Catch Blunt Guts on the road with BRIAN! and Dance-A-Tron at the following locations
- Feb 24:  The Space at GreenStar, 700 W Buffalo St, Ithaca, NY  with Xerxes (No Sleep Records : Louisville, KY)
- Feb 25:  Beagle Pub, 85 CFJ Blvd., Johnson City, NY 13790 with Revoked
- Feb 26:  Badlands, 1007 East Fayette Street, Syracuse, NY with Globsters and Dirty Humans

Another trio's first time in Ithaca! This time is the blown out noise-rock of SHOPPERS. It's members are heavily involved in the DIY community in Syracuse - from music to records, shows, and more - and put their punk ethics on the road regularly. Other than that, we'll let their music and words speak for themselves. We've heard fantastic things about their live show from many reliable sources so, come out early and don't miss their 2:30 set at BIG DAY IN this Saturday at The Haunt.  Anyone wanna grab Meredith a vegan slice from Pizza Aroma?



IU: When and how did the three of you come together as Shoppers?

Meredith: Josh and Kari had been best friends for years when I moved to Syracuse.  When Josh and I started dating, Kari and I naturally became friends and decided to start a band together, without Josh. We looked around for a different drummer because Josh was already in bands, but eventually we gave in and started playing as a family.


IU: Tell us about your latest LP, "Silver Year" and the processes you went through:

Meredith: That's kind of like, 'You just had a baby, tell us about the processes you went through'-- I can't possibly know everything that happened, I can't describe the celestial things that went on inside of me, but I can tell you that I got fucked, walked around with it inside me for about nine months, and eventually forced it out.

Josh:  We all went down to Miami on tour and recorded a long play record released on Drugged Conscience and Feeble Minds' collective dime.  Kari did like four bass track overdubs and I was a one-take dynamo in the studio (our friend Brian's parent's guest room).  Then Meredith recorded a half hour of noise to drown out any potential fuck-ups.


IU: Any highlights from your fall tour?
