THESE ARMS ARE SNAKES SIGN TO SUICIDE SQUEEZE | BEGIN RECORDING NEW ALBUM
Suicide Squeeze is proud to announce the signing of Seattle-based, quartet, These Arms Are Snakes!

To date the band has toured with the likes of Minus the Bear, Blood Brothers, Big Business, Cursive, Mastodon, Against Me!, Isis, Pelican, Hot Water Music, and other likeminded heavy hitters in today's thinking man's punk and metal circuit.
The band will begin recording their new album on May 9 at Red Room Recordings in Seattle, WA. with drummer Chris Common doubling as producer. The yet to be titled record will be released on October 7, 2008.

HUMAN HIGHWAY SIGN TO SUICIDE SQUEEZE | ANNOUNCE NEW ALBUM
Human Highway featuring Nick Thorburn (Islands) and Jim Guthrie Announce their debut album, Moody Motorcycle, out August 19, 2008!
Moody Motorcycle by Human Highway presents a sound reminiscent to that of 50's / 60's soul and doo-wop (i.e. the Everly Brothers), created by Islands member Nick Thorburn and Jim Guthrie (Guthrie is also an acclaimed solo musician currently working on a new album which is a follow-up to his 2004 release Now, More Than Ever.)
The album which Guthrie says features "hot man on man vocal action," was put together in the course of one week at his house in downtown Toronto, where the two spent their entire week both sleeping on, and recording on, Jim's living room couch.
Human Highway came about while Guthrie and Thorburn were on tour with Islands, and was an idea which stemmed from the duo's mutual respect for each other as musicians.
Look out for some very exciting surprises around the release of Moody Motorcycle, including an upcoming video, "classic" vinyl, a Canadian release courtesy of Secret City Records, and sporadic, one-off North American dates, all to be announced in the coming months.

sBACH ANNOUNCES SUICIDE SQUEEZE DEBUT
From the brainchild of (one half of) legendary Sacramento noise-duo Hella, Spencer Seim, comes the project entitled sBACH. Set for release in August, Seim promises to have no idea what the record will sound like until he sits down to record, but thinks it will sound something like his half of the landmark Hella record "Church Gone Wild / Chirpin' Hard" (Chirpin' Hard being Seim's contribution). Known for his brand of 16-bit Nintendo-spazz guitar madness, sBACH will surely scramble brains around the world. Seim also promises to take his new project on the road, which is awesome because he rips the axe like nobody's business. Be sure to befriend sBACH on MySpace.

RUSSIAN CIRCLES SIGN TO SUICIDE SQUEEZE | PREP NEW ALBUM FOR 2008
Suicide Squeeze is proud to announce the signing of Chicago's Russian Circles.

Drummer Dave Turncrantz and guitarist Mike Sullivan remain as core members.
The band is currently working with producer Matt Bayles (Minus the Bear, Isis, Mastodon) on the recording of their follow-up to 2006's Enter, on Flameshovel Records. The new full-length is tentatively planned for a release in spring or summer of 2008.
In the meantime, Russian Circles are playing three shows each with Cook filling in on bass: one in Seattle at Neumos on November 29th, one at the Double Door in Chicago on December 13th and then again on December 15th in Austin, at Emo's Jr.
MINUS THE BEAR | MTV BAND OF THE WEEK
Beginning this week, September 17-23, Minus the Bear will be the subject of MTV's 52 Bands, a special feature segment that highlights one band per week, throughout the year. The segments are a series of 30-60 second spots on the band, that will be played every 7.5 minutes throughout the day on the channel!
MTV had this to say about the band: "For their Artist Of The Week run, we met up with Minus the Bear in Seattle and gave them an old school Super 8 camera. The resulting footage, which you'll see all week during their Artist Of The Week TV spots, was shot at their favorite haunts, including Captiol Hill pub Clever Dunnes and the Seattle Laser Dome. We think the diverse locations (one down-and-dirty, the other awesomely electrifying) perfectly represent the band's comfortably dissimilar style."
WHERE ARE THEY NOW?
Former 764-Hero drummer Polly Johnson has accepted a position as a hair stylist at the Kristovich Loft. Appointments can be made by calling 206-284-2569. If you find yourself in need of a cut or color give her a call!
