twelve gauge valentine have recorded 3 new songs during a tour stop in nashville! check out the new tracks on the band's my space page.
in other 12gv news, the band is featured on a new dvd relesed by full lock media. it's called "this ain't your mom's hardcore vol. 1." it will feature live footage of twelve gauge valentine, underoath, norma jean, the chariot, haste the day, and a ton more. look for it in the hot topic near you, or buy it from full lock media directly.
thanks goes out to kapil at full lock media - he is filming a music video for twelve gauge valentine tonight in georgia! rad!
in case we forgot to mention it, sound vs silence would like to point out the fact that we have some fine-tuned "industry ears"...our buddy joel pack (featured on our svss 2004 sampler) and his band broke have signed with maverick records. they've had the chance to tour with the used a few times this year, and they started recording the major-label debut yesterday! the record is being recorded at unknown studios owned by branden steinekert of the used. mr. steinekert will be producing it as well...we'd like to wish jp and the boys some luck and plenty of good times...somehow i doubt this record will be packaged in duct tape.

vesper (quick and dead), still breaking hearts, the hotness, the hi fi
massacre, and anyone else that's part of the family - did we really forget
you? nahhh...it's just late and i've had one too many snow plow stouts...
smartpunk has added "exclamationaire" by twelve gauge valentine
to their store - go here and start shopping! if you already have this
record in your collection, be sure to pick one up for every one of your
siblings, cousins, neighbors, and friends. you owe it to them...and we'd
love you for it.
