Soldiers begin work on next full length

Long Island’s Soldiers have begun work on their next full length. Vocalist Rick Jiminez had this to say:

We’ve had some time this spring and summer between the activity of all of our other bands and started writing some new shit. It’s been a while since we had written and released ‘End Of Days’ so we approached this from a totally refreshed perspective. The stuff is still as pissed and frustrated as ever.

The band released End of Days in 2007.

Shook Ones fight Prop 8 with new track

Shook Ones have expressed their support for the opponents of California’s Proposition 8 with a new, $1 downloadable track to raise money for Lambda Legal, The ACLU of California, and Equality California in hopes of contributing to the battle in overturning Proposition 8. The band explained their position on the anti-gay marriage law:

Proposition 8 has officially become state sanctioned and defended discrimination with the California supreme court’s 6-1 decision to uphold it. In doing so, the Supreme Court effectively cemented the notion of “separate but equal” as an acceptable practice for the state. The 6-1 margin of victory is depressing. Only one judge in California’s supreme court saw this issue through the lens of minority rights, and their subsequent erosion in this decision.
