A year and a half ago we played a show.  Today I finally got around to posting the leftover shirts on our website.  One reprint of a classic in a new color and one totally new shirt destined to be a classic.

Thanks

Thanks to everyone who came out to the show last weekend. It was great to see so many old friends and smiling faces. Hope we can do it again sometime soon!

It's been a while...

Hello friends. It's been a quiet year for us. Lots of shit has happened with all of us individually, but as a whole, not so much. One practice and one show in all of 2013, I think. I don't know if 2014 will bring any more activity, but one thing it will bring is a NEW RECORD!!! 

That's right! After 3+ years of delay, the Get Rad / Sweet Cobra split 7" is finally seeing the light of day! It will be available for the first time at the memorial show for Mat Arluck of Sweet Cobra this weekend in Chicago.

Saturday February 8th 2014

Shortly after that, it will be available from all the labels involved and from us as well.

In the meantime, enjoy the video! John Pata of Head Trauma Productions edited it from footage shot of us at Gilead Media Music Festival 2012. John did a sick job. You should check out the movie that he made with Adam of Gilead Media, DEAD WEIGHT. Support the people who support us!!!

Thanks for reading. I hope to have reason to post on here more in 2014.

STAY RAD!!!

Next show???

Saturday March 30th @ the Borg Ward

We're laying low these days, so we've gotta make every show count.  This one will rule.

Riverwest Fest III - This Weekend!!!

Riverwest Fest III is this weekend. We are playing on Saturday with Enabler & No Future at 

820 E Locust. The show starts at 7pm and is ALL AGES. All shows are $5 per show

or $10 per day or $15 for the whole weekend. Kelsey & Sean have done a sick

job setting this up, so come out and show them and all the bands some love.

Here is a flyer for the show we are playing:

That is our last show of the year and last show for the forseeable future.  Life has gotten in the way of us getting rad, so the little time that we are able to spend together as a band will probably be spent writing new music.  We have 8 songs written, so we hope to get something new in your ears sometime in 2013. 

Stay Rad.

Thanks!

Thanks to everyone who came out to Mohawk Fest and supported a bunch of No-hawks, like ourselves. I'm sure everyone could have done without the fights, but oh well...

As of right now, we have nothing on the books as far as upcoming shows go.

Also, no new news regarding our split 7" with Sweet Cobra.

Only thing new-ish that I can announce is that we reprinted our Ripper shirts from a few years back. We've got them in all sizes from Small to XXL and you can order one here.

Hopefully we will have information about the Sweet Cobra split, new shows & new releases to announce soon!

Thanks for reading.

Stay Rad!

Goddamn our practice space it hot!!!

I thought our new space had air conditioning? Rumor has it that every other floor in the building except ours does? That's some bullshit!

In spite of the heat we've been hanging out there a bunch. Laying low while we take a break from playing shows and concentrate on writing some new songs. So far we have 8 that we can play together as a band and tons more floating around in our minds. But don't get too excited, because a new record is way off in the distance. Maybe our split 7" with Sweet Cobra will finally come out and tide you over a bit.

If recorded music isn't your thing and you're getting antsy because we haven't played a show in almost 2 months, the wait will be over soonish. A few local things and another journey into another one of the Wisconsin cities that we have neglected in the past. More info on those shows once everything is set in stone.

So yea, nothing too exciting right now. Sorry for wasting your time.

Stay Rad!

Gilead Fest was Fucking Amazing!!!

The title says it all. It ruled. Tons of good bands & good friends, both old and new. To top it off, we had a lot of fun! Thanks a bunch to Adam & everyone who made it possible.

Video from The Stank

here's a crappy video with even worse audio from our show in wausau.

don't worry, there are more oscar-worthy clips on the way.

I just found the funniest review of "Choose Your Own Adventure"

I just found the funniest review of "Choose Your Own Adventure"

Punks! Punks! Punks! #5

Holy shit! This record on 33rpm is super fucking tough. It sounds like a tougher version of Motorhead. I could imagine kinda fat biker dudes with huge beards and black denim vests. The singer is like 500lbs with hella big hair and sunglasses. He is fucking tough as hell and rides Motor cycles. No one would fuck with these dudes. Put this record on 33rpm and flip to the B side. BRUTAL!

Pretty funny. I'm gonna go listen to this on 33rpm right now!

Suburban Voice review of "Choose Your Own Adventure"

GET RAD-Choose Your Own Adventure (Get Rad/Halo of Flies/The Perpetual Motion Machine, 7"EP)
When I was a kid, I had a Bugs Bunny set that came with a book and two 10" records that spun at 78. Yes, I'm old, deal with it. Get Rad's latest missive is accompanied by a booklet where you're given choices to make and then flip to whatever page your choice leads you. The lyrical contents echo that narrative. As usual, with this Milwaukee band, the music is enjoyable, buzzing old-school hardcore punk with burn and occasional melodic touches. And it's a good thing it plays at 45 instead of 78 because my turntable doesn't have that speed option.

For tons of other reviews, check out
Suburban Voice

Al also does an awesome radio show Sonic Overload. He's trying to upgrade his website & equipment, so check out the show, donate a few bucks & mosh it up around your computer.

Chicago - August 14th w/ PUNCH

hello. just got confirmation from the last band member, so we are officially playing Chicago on Sunday August 14th @ Strangelight w/ Punch, Loma Prieta, Ten Thousand Leagues & Noose. It is going to be killer!

Razorcake review of "Choose Your Own Adventure"

GET RAD:
Choose Your Own Adventure: 7" EP
Am I easily swayed by clever packaging? You bet your fuckin’ life I am! As the title implies, the accompanying booklet features the exploits of Cru Jones, whose life is pretty crazy since he won Hellpath, and by making key decisions for him, you lead him towards either ruin or true love. The music? Rock-solid hardcore with the lyrics printed on the back page of the booklet for those not easily distracted, but shit, I’ve got more important things on my mind, namely trying to figure out why every decision I make seems to result in Cru’s death. Creative, lots of fun, and, on the whole, a great listen. –Jimmy Alvarado (Halo Of Flies)

Razorcake Review

Review - Choose Your Own Adventure

here it is. the 1st review for "Choose Your Own Adventure." it's not so good. oh well...

From MRR #338

Get Rad - "Choose Your Own Adventure" EP
This is "Modern" hardcore from Wisconsin that follows the well-established formula of clean-cut fast partys, occasional epic moments, and lyrics about skating, keeping posi, and other predictable topics. As the title implies, the theme is a mini choose your own adventure comic staring Cru Jones from the movie RAD. Pretty unremarkable. - Jason Halal

On the upside, the record did make Bob Goldie's top 10 in the same issue.

Also, if that review was enough to finally push you over the edge to the "I really need to own that record" camp, we still have a few copies left on colored vinyl. Still not sure & want to hear it first? Here you go!

More and/or better reviews coming soon.
