Bastions, as a band, are known for it’s ridiculous amounts of bad luck. We’re just not allowed nice things!
So, while it’s probably the worst kept secret we’ve ever tried to keep, we’re going into the studio with Jag Jago in Brighton Electric on friday and as sods fucking law has it, we’ve lost all our money on bills/fees/repairs on the 11th hour before heading in.
We’re desperate for you all to hear this new material, and we’ll go to loan sharks if we bloody have to, but maybe if you picked up a cut price vinyl for £7 it would mean that it would be less likely we’ll end up with broken legs. (Click the link to go straight to our merch store)
Such is my personal desperation, that I’m putting up a the bastions paypal in case some kindhearted soul wanted to donate a £1 to the cause. (At the bottom of this post). Rest assured that any generous souls would get full mentions on the releases thank you list.
Finally, if you could share this as far and as wide as possible it would mean the absolute world to me.Bastions: a band destined to struggle and be happy none-the-less!

“… It’s not just that evil is ‘implied by’ good or Darkness by Light or whatever, but that the evil stuff is contained within the good stuff, encoded in it… . Lynch pays a heavy price — both critically and financially — for trying to explore worlds like this. Because we Americans like our art’s…

Bridge Nine Records is excited to welcome another amazing addition to the family: The UK’s Goodtime Boys. As announced today, the label will be releasing new material from the band in Fall of 2012. Goodtime Boys will start recording five new songs that will become the What’s Left to Let Go EP this Thursday with Lewis Johns at The Ranch, Southampton. Drummer Taliesin Leboutillier commented, “We’re incredibly happy to be working with such a well established and respected label. We are all long-time fans of the records Bridge 9 has been putting out, so recording our new songs and having Bridge 9 releasing them is something we are very excited about. We look forward to traveling, meeting new people and playing more shows with the label’s backing.” This new EP will get packaged with the band’s most recent and critically-acclaimed EP Are We Now Or Have We Ever Been, which Audioscribbler called “an alarming mix of fast-paced aggression and calm, despaired ambience.” The title of this double EP package will come soon - in the meantime, check out Goodtime Boys online at www.Facebook.com/GoodtimeBoys.
Goodtime Boys formed back in 2009 in the UK and features members Taliesin Leboutillier (Drums), Samuel Phipps (Guitar), Kai Woolen-Lewis (Guitar), Alexander Pennie (Vocals) and Leigh McAndrew (Bass). Since their formation, Goodtime Boys have shared the stage with Pianos Become the Teeth, More than Life, La Dispute, Touche Amore, and more.

Free vinyl
ok, as promised- will give away more vinyl today, but this time on Tumblr. I have 1 more copy of the 1st press of the You Will Not Survive LP up for grabs. To keep it fair, just reblog this post today and will pick someone at random to give it to who reblogs. Just a little way to show thanks to everyone for supporting our band. It’s appreciated. Cheers.
Bear Vs Shark - Right now you’re in the best of hands…
Couldn’t resist picking this up from Banquet records today. ‘Big Scary Monsters’ UK re-pressing /250. Lovely vinyl and fucking great album.
Starting to read this tomorrow. Click on the picture for an insanely large character diagram that gives an idea of the size and detail of this book. This will take me a while.
Night-time Converge is the best kind of Converge. The live version of Locust Reign on this is absolutely insane. Fucking lovely!
Pride no longer has definition. Everybody wears it, it always fits.
It’s not the worth, it’s the investment that keeps us tied up in all these strings.
