stomp-recordsMontreal psychobilly band The Brains are releasing their new full-length album titled Zombie Nation May 11th on Stomp Records.  You can check out the album cover art and track listing here.  Here’s what Stomp had to say about the release:

Recorded over several months deep underground in a Montreal bunker, ZOMBIE NATION is by far The Brains’ best work to date. Rene D La Muerte’s dirty Gretsch twang melds seamlessly with newcomer Colin The Dead’s blistering stand-up bass stylings all the while held together by Franck O’ Brains who pounds harder and faster than a crackhead’s heartbeat after a fix. Some of the best and biggest names in psychobilly and rockabilly lent their unique talents on the recording, including Stein, Matt and Andy from the legendary Mad Sin, Dan Deleon from Rezurex and Richy from Blood Sucking Zombies From Outer Space. ZOMBIE NATION is guaranteed to become a fast favorite for all fans of punk, rock, psychobilly, horror, metal and everything in between.

The band released their last album The Brains on Stomp in April, 2009.

What happens when you break a window at a Casualties show in Costa Rica? People riot!

What happens when you break a window at a Casualties show in Costa Rica? People riot!

Damn, Ticos are hardcore! During a Casualties show in Costa Rica, the fans that couldn’t get into the venue stood outside. Sounds ‘normal’, right?

casualtiesDamn, Ticos are hardcore! During a Casualties show in Costa Rica, the fans that couldn’t get into the venue stood outside.

Sounds ‘normal’, right?

Well, those same fans started to break windows a couple of songs into the set, which allowed people to start crowding around the window to try and catch a part of the show.  Apparently the crowd was the sort of crowd you normally find at a punk show, but the band said that it wasn’t that bad of a crowd. From then on, things got interesting…the show got cut off, the band was asked to leave, and people started to riot!

Meggers actually updated everyone immediately after the riots happened and had this to say:

The riot that took place was uncalled for. We just wanted to play a show and enjoy our first experience in Costa Rica. The fans made us happy and we wanted to return the favor for their support. The whole thing should have been handled differently, and I assure you it was out of our control. We would love to come back and play a complete set. Thank you for the love and support Costa Rica.
-Meggers

You can read the tour manager’s account of what took place here.

The band currently finished up a couple of shows in South America and are now heading to Mexico. Fans in the US will be able to catch them this summer where they’ll be headlining all the dates on the Vans Warped Tour. Check their Dying Scene shows page to see when they’ll be in your town. They are also holding a contest in which you can cool stuff. Click here to see the press release. [Read more…]
