Yesterday morning Kill Hannah‘s tour van was stolen, with the trailer full of instruments and equipment still attached. It happened in a Holiday Inn parking lot in South Philly, the same location that saw Mae’s trailer go missing last week. Kill Hannah lost everything but the clothes and toiletries they took inside for the night.

The band’s most ardent fans, the Kill Hannah Kollective, took the initiative to set up a relief paypal account, all contributions go towards replacing the band’s possessions: donations@killhannah.net

Consequently, the band was forced to cancel the remainder of their US tour. Our hearts go out to these guys and we just hope the dirty rotten scoundrels who did this are brought to justice.

After The Fall kick off a new tour next Thursday in support of their upcoming 7″, set to be released at the beginning of the new year on Mightier Than The Sword. The band will be touring up until mid-January playing with bands such as Defeater, Barrier, Astpai, Such Gold and more.

For more information on dates and locations check out the band’s Dying Scene Shows page.

Have you ever heard of a band The Crucified? Well, if you haven’t, check them out now. They formed in the 80’s, broke up in the 90’s, and now they’re back! This summer, The Crucified played their first set of shows in over 14 years, and they recently posted a song from their second album, The Pillars of Humanity, released way back in 1992. The album has been out-of-print for some time now, and has been re-mixed, re-mastered, re-packaged, re-priced, re-duced, -re-used, and re-cycled. Oh, um, maybe not those last few, just got carried away. Anyway, Pillars of Humanity is set to be re-released next Tuesday on Tooth & Nail Records, check it out!
