Update 08-29-11

Hey everyone,

This is our first update in a while so it's gonna have a lot of stuff that we have going on at the Better Times camp.

First of all, we are recording some new songs soon and they'll be put on a tape by our friend Nick over at Like Glue Records (www.likegluerecords.tumblr.com). We think these new songs are awesome and we're very stoked for you guys to hear them.

We've been added to a show on October 21st with Agnostic Front, The Mongoloids, The Clockers, and Goodbye Cruel World. We're obviously excited to be playing with some of the legends of hardcore. If you're in the Buffalo area and need a ticket, you can get them from Spiral Scratch Records (291 Bryant Street, off of Elmwood Ave. Buffalo) or online here.

Also in October, we're hitting the road and heading out to the Midwest from October 7th to the 10th. Once shows are finalized we'll be posting cities and venues.

Then later this year we're going on tour with our friends in Enough and Written Off. Some of the shows we have lined up are incredible and you won't want to miss this if we hit your city.

We've got some new shirt designs coming so be on the look out at shows and in our online store (www.betterxtimes.storenvy.com).

That should cover everything we have going on for the time being. Be sure to check back for tour dates and other information.

(Each episode is available for download on the Podcast web page. They're also available for streaming online.)

In the 27 episodes Bill has done, a ton of amazing bands have been featured.
Not only is it awesome for its entertainment value, but each episode has been a big learning experience for me as well.
I've discovered a lot of bands I never knew existed, through hearing them played on this radio show. I've got a pretty long list of featured bands that I'm still working on checking out.

Each episode has a pretty diverse playlist, so there's something for everyone, regardless of what your favorite sub-genre of hardcore may be.

We had the honor of having The Kids Still Have Their Say, from our 2011 Demo, featured on the most recent episode of the podcast.
The 27th episode also features tracks from Poison Planet, Rivalry, Rust Belt Lights, Focused Minds, and Rhinoceros.

I highly recommend subscribing to the Buffalo Style Podcast.

Sync them to your iPod, listen to them as you go.
You'll enjoy them and actually learn a lot.
