Facedown Fest
Facedown Fest was a lot of fun as always, but this time was different since it was our last west coast show and it was our first time not touring out there. We all flew in to San Diego on Thursday and ate In-N-Out Burger immediately. We had really missed it. Our friend Drew happened to be in town with A Day to Remember, so we called him up and ended up hanging out at their show with 6,000 screaming tweens. It was quite an experience. The fest itself was a lot of fun and we're really going to miss going out there. Our set was great and the kids really made it worth our while.
Here's a short clip from the set where we play Empty Promises and a No Warning cover. I was stoked that so many kids knew that song:
Also, here's a video of 60 dudes in black t-shirts trying to take a picture on the beach.
And this is what it came out looking like.
Pretty cool, huh?
Validation
We just got done recording our final release, the "Validation" 7". It's finishing getting mastered right now and we're really excited about it. I think it's really going out on a high note for us and we can't wait for you to hear the new songs. Here's the tracklisting in case you're interested.
1. Exploit, Neglect, Condemn
2. Validation
3. Closer
4. To become One
We'll be posting more about that soon, including details about the pressing.
