We,
KILLER APE, will be heading out west to play at this year's
GrownFest in L.A. We will be hitting the road with some real good friends of ours,
Grave Robbers. They just took a hard hit with the passing of one of their guitarists no more than 3 weeks ago, but they are strong men and will push on forward in his memory. Killer Ape will go for about a week er so before splitting off in Las Vegas and heading back to Texas as Grave Robbers continue on for another week or two.

WE LOVE YOU, BROTHER
DANCE HARD OR DIIIIIEEEEEE!!!!!!
comes along that is just so chock full of melody and hooks while maintaining that hardcore punk aggression, it makes you say, "Good times, full speed ahead." This is one of those records. A joint production from Seafoam Recordings and In My Heart Records, Florida's No Harm Done and Connecticut's Offsides find themselves on their own respective sides of this solid piece of wax. 6 songs of fast-paced, melodic hardcore. My old band played with No Harm Done down in Laredo, TX sometime in 2008, and some
of the NHD dudes kept yelling for us to do a Buried Alive cover. Unfortunately, at the time, we didn't know any Buried Alive, but BA is def backed hard, and so No Harm Done is backed. haha. They play a good mix of fast pop-punk and hardcore. They have a real fun live show. Lots of energy. This is actually my first time hearing Offsides, but I always enjoy when bands have female vocalists. They also had an EP come out on Get Outta Town Records last summer. I still need to check that out, but these 3 songs made a good impression on me for this band. Solid aggressive melodic hardcore. Be sure to pick up this split 7" and catch both bands on tour together as they go across the US and Canada.
