I Was Born (The Menzingers) by Great Cynics
I like The Menzingers. They’re nice guys. Two nights ago their van was smashed into after their show in Manchester; they lost their passports, merch money and the stuff you like to keep with you in a backpack when you’re travelling around the world.
Banquet Records set up a donation page on their website and lots of people, blogs and websites did their best to make sure that people were aware of the situation. The response was actually pretty damn inspiring. Yesterday I got a text from Ant from Moon and Back Music about doing a Menzingers cover for a benefit comp, so I went upstairs to my room and recorded this on my phone - warts ‘n’ all.
The benefit comp will be up for download on M&B shortly.
In a bit.

NEW RELEASE - NO SLEEP RECORDS WELCOMES ‘MOUNTAIN MAN’ TO THE FAMILY
Massachusetts based hardcore band MOUNTAIN MAN have now joined NO SLEEP RECORDS roster. This is the first trailer, which I’ve directed, of a series we’ll be dropping over the next couple of months. Get weirded out. I’m really honoured to have been asked to do this and it’s been a very enjoyable affair so far. We’re looking to get everyone wanting more from this first look. I want peoples craniums to not be spoon fed like most other campaigns around.
You can read more about the band joining the label here.
I shot most of the footage in Cornwall, around an area called Lizard point which is one of my favourite places purely because it’s so quiet. It’s almost got a spooky vibe to it which is some what of an appeal. If you watched the recent series on BBC 2 about the fishermen of Cadgwith, well, that was part of the lizard. Anyways. Well done to Mountain Man, and hopefully you’ll see them on our shores soon in the UK and Europe tearing out some songs.
Please also like them on facebook and check out their music - facebook.com/mountainmanhc
