GAZA CHECKS IN ABOUT NEW RECORD

About a month ago, we posted the news that Gaza was about to record another album for Black Market Activities.

Well, the recording has been postponed for just a little bit, but the dudes are still trying to get it done before the end of the year. Frontman Jon Parkin dropped a little insight to keep everyone in the loop.

"We've tucked ourselves away for nearly a year now trying to write this Goddamn record. Not because it's some sweeping-epic-theme record about the Cherokee or some shit, but because we've had a rough time writing anything we like. We've toured minimally as a result of that, but the touring we've done has been amazing. If you haven't heard about Dudefest, you're probably not listening. In any case I do have some news to report. We have finished about 95 percent of the record: We're calling it 'He's Never Coming Back.' Casey broke his hand the very week we wrapped up the last song, so recording has been put on hold for at least six weeks. Once he gets the cast off, we'll need about a month to rehearse. Then we can finally shoot and bury this thing as if it was that ham-fisted cunt Nancy Grace. The new stuff is definitely pissed off, but its more... strange? If IDCWIGWID can be described as harsh, this could be described as well written harsh. We hope to have it out before the end of the year."

The band will head in to record with Andy Patterson (who recorded Gaza's first record, but is best known as the guest vocalist on the Skeiff D'Bargg recording) sometime this fall. 

Keep your ears open because these dudes put out solid stuff.
