All Get Out
From Charleston, South Carolina
First Twin Cities show on MN Live's calendar
From last.fm:
Charleston, SC "Loud and personal,” is one of the ways that lead singer/guitarist Nathan Hussey describes All Get Out. Generally when a band is self-described as loud, imagery of guitars propelling distortion and mood over the audience is the resonance to dwell on and personal is not often the conjoined description. Loud has always been the cryptic way to say a band likes to hide behind blankets of fuzz and hard to decipher symbolisms that keep the players of the song at restraining order distance from the audience. With All Get Out nothing is hidden; everything is personal; and loud. Read more about All Get Out on Last.fm.

Long Island, NY - February 2013 - Sainthood Reps have signed to No Sleep Records and will be releasing a new album this fall. They have plans to release a split 7-inch with Weatherbox via Topshelf Records sometime this spring. Their debut full-length Monoculture was produced by Long Islander Mike Sapone (Brand New, Crime in Stereo, The Xcerts) and released in 2011 with Tooth & Nail Records. Absolute Punk called it a throwback to the rock (both underground and alternative radio hits) that many older music fans grew up with. Read more about Sainthood Reps on Last.fm.
