Looks like Eric Soloman is shaking things up again at the old O’ PIONEERS camp. This time he has enlisted the help of Toronto, Ontario’s JUNIOR BATTLES to function as his backing band for the foreseeable future. We at Kiss of Death are happy to announce the upcoming split 7″ between the two bands that made this wonderful union.

The Richmond, VA stop of the NO FRIENDS east coast tour took place at a bike lot complete with ramps and a bbq. For those of you that missed out on the fun, some videographers and photographers were there to capture some of the EXTREME action and set the video to the first track from the No Friends “Traditional Failures” EP. That video can now be found on ESPN’s website HERE. Check it out!

Tomorrow night KOD’s head honcho Bryon will be heading over to Gainesville with his band NEW BRUISES to play a free show with SENDERS. Senders features No Idea/Southern Lovin employee Cam Taylor who you should all know and believe is an awesome guy even though he wears glasses. What a nerd! They’re a really good band… almost as good as these guys: THE SENDERS.

The show is free. Heads Held High are also playing, and it’s an early one! (Well early for Gainesville, which means regular time for most other cities). If you’re in the area you should really check it out!

– Alex

So the NO FRIENDS / DEEP SLEEP tour was a smashing success. All the shows were great, and we even managed to get some footage which will eventually be part of a No Friends video. Our buddy Jason from NONE MORE BLACK will be putting it together and he’s really good at what he does, so we’re very excited. In the meantime, HERE’S some footage of us playing 3 songs from our new EP in New Brunswick, NJ.

We also came home with a decent amount of No Friends t-shirts and hoodies which you will soon be able to purchase from the KOD store. Kiss of Death is in the process of moving to a new warehouse, so Glenn will get them up as soon as we’re settled back in! You can pick up the new No Friends EP on vinyl HERE or you can download all of the songs for free HERE.

Expect a slew of new updates in the near future! I gotta catch up with everyone and find out what they’ve been up to while I’ve been gone!
