Official Store Activation & New Shirts!

It is official: you can give us money for stuff! We have shirts and demos for sale in The Store. Two of the shirts were designed by Matt Martinez of Landmine Marathon. Shipping is free as are demos with every shirt order. Soon we will have buttons/pins and stickers to throw in with orders. The super limited cassettes will arrive shortly. Check back often for upcoming show info as well as contests for some free stuff.

The Update!

A few of months ago we recorded for an EP. Due to uncertainties with the band the project was put on hold. Things are now moving forward with mastering and artwork for the release. We just got done playing three shows with This Is Hell in Denver, Albuquerque, and Mesa. More info on the EP as well as shows can be found here or on any of our links above.
Matt Martinez of Landmine Marathon recently designed two shirts for us. Both will be posted in The Store in the next day or so. The Demo is being pressed as a limited cassette release. This will feature one track that is not on the CDR version. That will be available in The Store shortly as well.

Shows, Tour, and More

The Rule The Law is playing with Band of Mercy at The Noise Venue in Tucson on May 17th and at The Underground in Mesa on May 18th. Click here for details on these shows. We are currently routing a tour. Dates and more info coming soon! Our 7" should be out in time for tour. Stay tuned.

EP

Instruments and vocals are done for the EP. Mixing should wrap up on Monday. Check back soon for EP release information, tour dates, and more news. Be sure to visit our "Music" and "Store" pages to download our Demo and buy a CD and shirt. If you can't wait 'til next time, follow us on Twitter to see pictures from the studio, practices, and more.

Demo Cover

Michelle Donovan (known best for her role in the Mantooth Group and Irish step dancing circuit) did the artwork for our demo, which we'll have plenty of at our shows (see below).  We're pretty impressed with it, so here's a preview of the cover!

Demo Lyrics

Prey

This is the blight

That pours out of your mouth

Vulgar and lonely

Arch your back

Feline, feral

I won’t trust you anymore

My mind is made

I’m not staying

To watch you waste your days

In the shadows

Of open doorways

You’re nothing but a fleeting glance

You’ve become the prey

For packs of vacant stares

Show me your teeth

Dull as mortars

Show me your teeth

So I can steal back

My flesh

I won’t trust you anymore

I won’t trust you anymore

Mending Wall

I’ve got a few things on my mind

so I’m building a wall with them

And I’m not going to stop till I can’t see

the tops of the trees or anyone on the block

And the neighbors will forget I was ever there

And nobody will speak of me

My world will be so simply quiet and free

No Island

I won’t be the first

To ignore the notion

That I’m hardwired

To fail on my own

To know that my needs

and all I can give

is more than I’ll ever share

I’ve found some solid ground

To stand on

But I’m no fucking island

This takes it’s toll

And burrows deep

Flowing through every vein

Till they fracture

crumble and collapse

Sinking silent and quick

In a sea of cowards

Sheep in wolves’ clothing

I’m no fucking island

Demo/Introductions

So we're a few friends who got together to write some songs, play some shows, hit the road, and keep our wits. We recorded our demo with the handsome/virile Ryan Butler a few weeks ago and you can download it from the link at the top of the blog (above).  

We'll have real copies of the demo at our shows (soon to be confirmed) and want this to spread around like the plague.  So make sure your friends and family hear it and come sing along.  

Thanks,
