April was an off month for production because of traveling and playoff hockey, but now it’s May and it’s time to get things done. There’s a few jobs I finished which I am really proud of and will post here once said things are out and about. For now you’ll have to use your wild imaginations.

Just got the prints for the Buried Inside May shows and they look really sharp. Jesse Purcell at Repetitive Press did a great job with these. There will be 50 signed and numbered available at the shows (May 27th in Toronto, May 28th in Montreal). See you there.

This just in, this will be the last time Buried Inside plays Toronto and Montreal. There will be a final Ottawa show sometime later this year. After 13 years the band has come to an end. Lots of great memories for me with this band, happy to be playing these final shows.

They Say The Classics Never Go Out Of Style

Checked out Revolver’s ‘The Art of Hard Rock and Heavy Metal‘ issue and thought it was a pretty good read. Lots of interesting details behind some very influential album art (there are some whack records in there, but overall a good selection). A lot of this stuff is clearly in the heyday of album art and heavy metal, a bygone era where the cover could do just as much to sell a record as radio play. Here are nine of my favourite metal album covers.

Buried Inside Chronoclast LP

Just got this on the weekend and happy with how it came out. Stumptown did a great job with the jackets. Available from Init not too many coloured copies left so if you want that you should jump on it. There will be a couple of shows at the end of May where the black version will be available.
