First off, thanks to everyone sending me birthday wishes. Offsides and No Harm Done are in western Canada enjoying the incredible scenery and the nicest people ever. Check out our tour dates, finally leading us home, if you haven’t already.

Secondly, the $3 sale is still going online and V/A “Carry the Torch: A Tribute to Kid Dynamite” CD is out and going strong. Check out the webstore and please pick up some of the back catalog items so I am able to clean my apartment when I get back from tour.

Offsides and No Harm Done have a “Split” 7″ out now on Seafoam Recordings and In My Heart Records that is selling fast. No Harm Done just got added to This is Hardcore Fest, so we should get another shipment of the 7″s for that show that will include a special cover.

The Offsides / No Harm Done tour has like 25 shows left or something, so please come check us out as we head back east through Canada and down the east coast. Thanks to everyone supporting and giving us a place to stay.
