Following up their recent debut of “Elevator Days” from Ordinary Silence, Mixtapes are giving fans another taste of what’s to come from their highly anticipated second studio album with “Bad Parts.”
“The message of “Bad Parts” is simple,” Mixtapes’ guitarist vocalist Maura Weaver tells AltPress.com.  “I feel like a majority of people I know metaphorically sleep through life–instead of viewing life as the great big opportunity that it is, they try to avoid viewing it at all and simply go through the motions hoping for the least amount of pain possible. They might be going to school to get a steady job that they’re miserable in because they feel like they have to, or dating some dude who makes them dislike themselves because he’s great half the time and it’d be hard to break up, anyway. During the quiet parts of the day that they’re forced to think about these “bad parts” of life, they try to forget them through television, alcohol, religion, and superficialities…”  Read more at Altpress.com.
Mixtapes will kick-off a summer long tour next week, starting with the “Let’s Talk Industry Tour,” followed by the “Ordinary Silence Tour” and dates on the Vans Warped Tour.  Pre-order your copy of Ordinary Silence now and catch the band on tour in a city near you!

GET INVOLVED! DEBUT NEW LIVE TRACK TODAY

Written by The Stabcast on April 9, 2013 — Leave a Comment
photo-mainIt was recently announced that members from beloved bands Thursday, From Autumn To Ashes, Glassjaw and Judge, have come together to form a new band called Get Involved! with plans to record their debut EP with famed producer Ross Robinson (At The Drive In, Glassjaw, The Cure) in the coming months with the support of fans via Kickstarter.  Today, Get Involved! is offering supporters a glance inside the rehearsal space with a live work in progress track called “Serenity Now.”
Fans are invited to support Get Involved!’s Kickstarter Campaign (http://kck.st/YYjGQZ) and check out their live practice recording of “Serenity Now” atAltPress.com (http://bit.ly/13SfQkX) today!
Inspired by their shared influences of punk, hardcore, new wave and metal, Get Involved! came together to create an entirely new group, unlike any of their previous endeavors.  Brian Deneeve (From Autumn to Ashes), Todd Weinstock (Glassjaw), Tucker Rule (Thursday), Lars Weiss (Judge) and Derrick Karg each bring a unique style to the band, resulting in a sound that’s dark and heavy yet accessible and memorable.
In an effort to connect with fans directly and offer them a unique opportunity to be a part of the recording process, Get Involved! launched a Kickstarter Campaign to raise funds to record and self release the EP, which is slated for release later this year.  The band is offering several cool new incentives for fans backing the project including having the Weinstock and Weiss DJ your party, a writing session with members from the band, basement/garage party performance and a custom song written by the band and produced by Ross Robinson.  Other packages up for grabs include digital download of the new EP, limited edition 7” vinyl, signed swag, thank yous in liner notes, limited edition silkscreen posters, listening parties, music lessons and backstage meet and greets.
Support music, support art and Get Involved! Back Get Involved!’s Kickstarter Campaign now at  http://kck.st/Ypsu2Z.
