Sidetracked "Wrench"
Sidetracked are from Tacoma, WA and play really fast hardcore with a strong NO COMMENT vibe. Singer has some straight CROSSED OUT style vocals as well. Powerviolence influenced hardcore is pretty much a joke in 2012, but I think SIDETRACKED are one of the better bands doing this style nowadays and it's cool that they are still an active band.

FORFEIT pre-orders and other news
Rotten to the Core is taking preorders for our FORFEIT 7inch right now. There is a red vinyl version with altered artwork. Check it out here: http://www.rtcrecords.com/
After some delays at the plant, the WRENCH tape has gone into production. I would imagine it should be done in a couple weeks. More news as it develops on that.
Our split 7inch with SELF INFLICTED is also very close to being available. Deep Six had to send it to another plant but expects a test press will be available very soon. There's some awesome stuff coming out on Deep Six soon, so if you're planning on picking up the new Low Threat Profile and Manpig records, why don't you add this little platter to your cart? Both sides smoke. I'm very proud of this release.
Our side of the GAZ-66 Intrusion split is basically done, we just need do some volume adjustments and I will post a song or two from that.
Last September while recording the final song for the GAZ split, we started work on the B Side to Walk it Off entitled No Direction and also the drum tracks for the Abandon EP. No Direction is going to need some cleaning up and the Abandon tracks came out a little differently than I was expecting so I am going to revisit them some time later. Right now I want to focus on the XBRAINIAX split lp/cd. 15 songs of relentless fastcore. We'll hopefully be in the studio in a couple weeks for this one.
Also around September, I got an idea for an EP I want to do. I'm bringing back the RECOURSE title but this is entirely different than what that was. The former RECOURSE was to be a full length with some more metallic leaning, experimental songs. That has since become the material for the upcoming GRIDE split. The present RECOURSE has influences so far all over the map it's not even worth mentioning BUT what I can say is it'll be a cohesive, primitive hardcore punk record with very minimal ideas. Also, I want to record it live in the studio, except vocals. So this will be the second release our bassist Andrew will play on. I plan on this coming out on a limited cd.
Been finishing up the writing for a full length cd. The working title for it right now is HIRED GUN. The bulk of this was written a year ago in one late evening. I'm working with about 25 songs and I'm really liking the results. I think it fits right alongside the stuff for the XBRAINIAX split. Some chaotic fastcore, and some more straight hardcore songs as well. There's no rush on this as I still need to get some lyrics for it and finish some songs. I want to take some time with this one.
One release I used to bring up but set aside I have decided to revisit. That is the UNTITLED cassette. Right now I'm planning on 6 eclectic hardcore songs (some with a more dissonant edge than we normally have, and 4 instrumentals) This will be c0-released through Knochen Tapes out of Germany and Yakuzzi Tapes out of France.
We are also going to be doing a split tape with our friends in Las Vegas known as GOD'S AMERICA. They used to be called Seeds of Grape, or something along those lines.. ;-) I'm planning on some stuff that's a little more in the 80's hardcore realm for this one, with some twists and turns. I'm also planning on about 3 cover songs for this one. This will be released by Tombs in the Valley out of the UK.
Other releases in the works, more details on those as they come.

Upcoming releases news
I couldn't be happier to announce two upcoming splits:
First is going to go be a split 12inch (and possible cd version later) with the almighty XBRAINIAX. I've been hoping to do this for awhile now and I'm happy that its now reaching fruition. I have 15 songs written for it and I would say fans of the UNIFORM record will not be disappointed.
Secondly is going to be a split 7inch with Czech grind legends GRIDE. I had the pleasure of seeing them when they were in the states a year ago and if if you haven't already, go check out their flawless Horizont Udalosti lp and their equally great newest lp/cd Zaskuby Chaosu. I am planning on using an updated version of songs that were going to appear on the aborted Recourse record. Expect some diversity, experimentalism, and some more metallic leanings. 10-11 songs.
I have to give some props out to my man Will Butler from To Live a Lie (who I had the pleasure of meeting in person on his recent trip to Seattle) for agreeing to release our WRENCH tape. 100 copies with a digital download. 12 exclusive songs for fans of the raw. To celebrate the upcoming release of this tape, I uploaded 3 more songs in addition to Nothing's Broken that I posted a couple months ago. Inside/Pick My Battles is two songs on one track since they go right into each other. http://sidetracked.bandcamp.com/album/wrench
I'm very excited to announce DEEP SIX will be releasing our upcoming split 7inch with SELF INFLICTED. I've loved that label and Lack of Interest for a long time and its an honor to work with Bob. The songs have been sent to him so its a matter of when he's available to put it out plus the artwork getting done. Have I mentioned already that the Self Inflicted side is some of the best music I've heard in years?? I'd put it up there with the Low Threat Profile EP.
I have mentioned before an EP called TYRANNY that we recorded a year and a half ago. Tyranny has been compromised somewhat with one of the songs being taken off to be put on a comp. Therefore my plan as of late is to record a new song in place of the one taken off and this will be what makes up our side of the GAZ 66 INTRUSION split 7inch. RSR will be releasing this once it is finished. Gaz 66 finished their side awhile ago so now its on us. While in the studio recording this song, I am planning on recording the 10 songs for our upcoming ABANDON EP (its gonna be strange...) and hopefully (FINALLY) a B side to our WALK IT OFF single. My good ol friend Jeffry Hesse of 16oh fame has mentioned he may be interested in releasing said single. If the vibe in the studio is right, MAYBE we can knock out the long talked about DISMISSAL EP. My buddy Mike Hummingbird actually asked me about this one last time I saw him and I was excited that somebody actually cared about it! It made me wanna get my butt in gear and get it done.
The FORFEIT EP is so close to being done I can TASTE IT. I am finally happy with the mix, we just have to do one more crucial thing (that has somehow been taking forever) and it will be off to Rotten to the Core to get pressed. Once I get a final master in my hands I will upload a few more songs for yall to hear the primitive grind.
QUITE A YEAR SO FAR, FRIENDS. As usual, I will keep you posted with news as it comes.
