The Frolic

Hey all pals. Once again apologizing for never updating. Often feeling closer to death nowadays, but I'm assuming we all are experiencing something similar, so nothing new there I suppose.
We have a little tour coming up next week. We'll have new shit for sale and a new CD collection as well, come get weird with us. I know this probably reads a bit Eeyore-ish but I'm truly excited to be able to do this and meet up with good pals, just am currently a bit tired and doing my best to stay above all the bullshit lately. Anyways, Check it:::

Self to mind. Mind to flesh. Flesh to bone.



Friendship Tour was killer. Thanks SOOOOOOOOOOOO much to everyone involved, the list is incredibly long. I might get around to a post that personally thanks folks. I fucking had one all typed out and ACCIDENTALLY DELETED IT I SWEAR TO FUCKING HOOD. Ugh. It was so cute and personal and heartfelt and real. For now you'll just have to suffice with this boring, disinterested "thanks, y'all."

Now we are back to a little break, probably til next year. Lots of plans/ideas for tours and junk. Still have two more splits to release. Maybe someday we'll start writing again. Next thing would definitely be a full length, but that won't be for quite a while so yeah. Go listen to Miley Cyrus' "Adore You", Halsey's "Now or Never", Rihanna's "Stay", Future, Migos and other good jammers. Get the Chopped and Screwed app and never listen to pop music the same again.

So I changed it so that you have to pay to download our albums on bandcamp. To be clear: we more than happily support free listening and downloading. There are lots of places where our shit is being shared around and it's pretty easy to find, not to mention you can still stream it via our bandcamp or spotify or etc etc etc.
If you feel inclined to give us money directly for our digital tracks, you can do so by downloading from our bandcamp. Thanks! If there are any questions, concerns, or if you wanna yell at us for being sellouts and all that, cloudratgrind@gmail.com hit us up. Love y'all, stay safe, talk soon.

P.S. Fuck white supremacy, fuck the cops and fuck the government. Stay vigilant.

Friendship & The House Of Chains

Oi! First and foremost, today I need to address the fact that we have cancelled our appearance at Patchwork Festival next weekend, and we want to apologize to the festival promoters and anyone who was looking forward to our set. Hopefully we can make it up to y'all in the future. Some bummer shit has come up and is hobbling us a little bit.
In other news, our splits with Moloch and Crevasse are both available from Halo of Flies in the US, Feast of Tentacles in the UK and Contraszt in EU, and streaming still:

Our split with Disrotted will be streaming at Invisible Oranges in a few days, along with pre-orders and all that. Phew! Thanks for sticking with us so far. Two more releases to go after those. LOL.
Love y'all. Take care, hope to see you soon.
