My City Burning

Check out the I Scream Records press release;

—

We are very excited to welcome My City Burning to the I Scream Records family.

Founded in the Summer of 2006, MCB’s drive has garnered the band a solid following and amazing live-reputation. Their 2008 self-produced and self-released demo EP “White Lies, Black Eyes” definitely threw My City Burning’s name out there. This debut EP was extremely well received in magazines and e-zines across the globe. The Dutch magazine OOR said “It growls, bites and hurts in all the right places” while Asice.net said “Old school hardcore and thrash metal sound like two very different styles of heavy music, but this Dutch band incorporates them into one solid sound.” and musicfrom.nl wrapped it up with “A debut with an impact I don’t encounter very often”.

Combining a healthy DIY work ethic and the need to perform has led to an impressive list of shows all over Europe. They’ve shared the stage with bands like Hatebreed, Integrity, Death Before Dishonor, Poison the Well, Pro-Pain and Raging Speedhorn from whom member Gareth Smith said: “I had the pleasure of touring with MCB as part of our final tour with Speedhorn. The guys tore it up on stage each and every night! Tight as a duck’s ass and bursting with energy!”. But an absolute highlight so far was supporting Machine Head in Luxembourg since they were invited to play by Robb Flynn himself.

Laurens Kusters says: “We’re very proud to welcome My City Burning. These guys have worked hard the last couple of years and that’s exactly the commitment we’re looking for when signing bands. This new album and full length debut is an amazing record and won’t disappoint anyone.”

“When Laurens said “Sign here in blood, please”, we suspected something was a bit ‘off’, but sometimes you just have to take the plunge, you know? But in all seriousness, I Scream Records is a great label and it’s amazing to share a label with inspiring bands like Life Of Agony, Madball and Death By Stereo! Time to take this to the next level.”, the band ads.

“Lone Wolves” is set for release on August 23rd 2010. This long-awaited follow up to their debut EP was produced by Kristian “Kohle” Kohlemannslehner, known for his work with bands like A Traitor Like Judas, Crematory and Final Prayer to name of few. The 27-minute rollercoaster ride is filled with grooves that will make your head bang, thrash metal riffs that will make your face melt, and vocals that make you want to crack some skulls.

More info and news about our upcoming full length a.s.a.p.!

The lack of recent updates is courtesy of us being hella busy lately;

First off – as the status updates on Twitter, MySpace and whatnot have implied – we’re almost done with the pre-production for our new record!. Rounding up some loose ends, and November 15th we’re hitting the studio in Germany!

We’ve got 13 completely asskicking songs ready, of which 10 or 11 will go on the record, and a couple will be used for yet-to-be-confirmed-awesome-collabs-with-awesome-bands

Also, we’re currently booking our Euro tour with Palm, an awesome band from Japan, who we’ll also tour with over there! Yes yes! MCB goes Japan next November! New dates for the Euro tour will be added as they are confirmed

And err.. Oh yeah, we’ve gotten some pretty sweet reviews again!

As you probably heard by now, we’re playing the Melkweg (Amsterdam) with HATEBREED and Backfire! this Thursday!

What you haven’t heard yet, is that if you get your “I’m just here for the violence” shirt (or girlie – we’ve got ‘em now, ladies!) between 19.00 and 20.00, i.e. before we play, you can pick one up for 7 euro instead of 10!!

So everyone, please come early and pick up a shirt to rock at your favorite inappropriate occasions! I’m thinking weddings, family dinners, orgies, cage fights! .. Oh wait, ignore that last one. That one’s pretty much right on the money

In related news, we play at 20.00 sharp! Don’t be late!

Support that shit! See you in the pit!

Rock!
