AZ was everything we hoped for.

So we got back from the Abandon/Separation mini tour a while ago, I always just end up lagging super hard on blogging about our trips. Jesus fucking run-on sentences man. Anyways, the trip was fucking awesome. AZ back down to So Cal gave us a little taste of being back on tour, sans the shitty aspects. Just pure fun.

My current thoughts regarding this trip: The Separation is filled with great dudes. Their new shit is unbelievable. Vegan bacon cheeseburgers rule. Falafel rules. I love drums. I love drummers. Feel Bad Now will be missed. Kurt is a champion. Orange County is still the best place ever.

Thank you for everything.

Later tonight we'll be loading up the gear and getting ready to take off for Flagstaff, AZ. I'm seriously so excited.

I lied.

This Blog is seldomly updated.

Every now and then I'll stumble across this page and realize how infrequently it's posted on. My apologies to anyone who may actually follow this; seemingly we tend to forget the importance of internet communication.

Anyways, a shit ton has been going on with Abandon lately. We've just finished writing and recording the LP material and are now waiting for our final studio session to finish up the Vocals/Add-ons. As for now, we're working on tuning and tightening everything up before then. We're still massively in debt from the $1,800 emergency tour van we rented last winter (U-haul, I fucking hate you.) and because of this, there has been a slight change of plans. The mix will be a little rougher, and our budget for vinyl and merch will be way less, so bear with us on this one.

As far as shows go, we've booked a weekend trip out to Arizona to play with our good friends in The Separation from Aug. 7th - Aug. 9th. After these, October 24th marks the date of Seven Generations' final performance. This is more than an important show. 7G has been one of the most significant bands to come out in the last decade. If you're reading this right now and haven't heard of them, my mind is blown.

Other than those, we're going to take it easy on shows until the record's out. We want to get as much done as possible within the next couple months, and it doesn't quite help when all of your equipment is going to shit. Anyways, expect a tour coming up sometime shortly afterwards and be on the lookout for any updates and reminders. Thanks for reading.

2008 Demo

Lately it's been brought to my attention that a lot of people have been asking us for or if we still have any copies of the demo left.  Unfortunately, we've been out of them for awhile now do to the short amount of them that we actually made which was about 110 I believe.   

So myself and the band have decided to allow the demo to be downloaded for free though this blog.  We want everyone to at least have the demo recordings so that people can listen to them whenever they please.  So here is the link for all the people who've been asking us for a copy of the demo.  I know it's not a hardcopy, but it's the best that we can do.

Anthony & Abandon.

Restrained is breaking up.

This is Restrained's 2nd to last show. Ever. Please come out to support these dudes, they're great people in a great band and deserve more than a worthy goodbye.
