blurry picture of some copies of homemade braces

there are all different sorts of little deals going on. 100 handpainted copies by J.R.

good, amazing, cool, shit

today we picked up one hundred hand-arted copies of our hip new old tape Homemade Braces. I have to get some pictures of em on here because they look amazing, thanks to art genius and legendary rock fan Joe Rudans, who also did the lyrics sheet.  a distro called katorga works had ten copies for sale, but they are sold out as fuck.   in the meantime we're hard at work on the material for the third tape, Secretly Yours, but I will warn you right now its basically gonna sound like Journey b-side

we're not fuckin dead so fuck you

I was gonna say andy mcdonald is the luke skywalker of bass but that actually makes him sound like he would be shitty at bass, so ill just say that he plays bass now and once you hear him, youll be sorry you talked so much shit.   the tape STILL isnt back from the fucking duplicators but its going to be oh so soon, test pressing was approved, i guess they are hand spooling it or something.   but in the meantime we are writing new jams occupying the ground between dead moon, zz top and rebel'd punk.  and meatloaf.   so keep that punkass ear to the ground, you never know when theres a train hurtling off the tracks straight towards your modest cottage

Friggin Baltimore!

Nothing against that place, John Waters is from there so maybe there's other cool stuff, but dammit if our beloved bassist Ben Hickling aint moving there in less than a week!   Fear not, for from this unpalatable puddle of ashes and tears shall rise a GRIEF PHOENIX* which we will then teach to play bass.  But for now, the soundtrack to the heart of secret tombs is curtis mayfield's "I loved and I lost." bon voyage, mon ami.

*real name: Andy McDonald      

NEW TAPE! NEW SITE! KIND OF!

 secrettombs.someideas.info  is where you'll find both tapes available in the slick digital formats WITH cover art.


This blog fucking sucks. Sorry, but we dont have any pictures or videos, and our fingers hurt.

HOT DAMN the tape's finished!

its been a real slog through the computer wastelands but the second Secret Tombs tape, "Homemade Braces" is fucking finished, ready to be pressed, or printed or whatever happens to tapes-manufactered?    bitchin art courtesy of B. Burkhart and J. Rudans is getting drafted, AND we made some new tshirts in the meantime because even if a band doesnt have any new songs they can always have a tshirt for you to buy, and you will buy it, specially if its black and white and has a pentagram on it.   oh, whats that?

but we DO have new songs, a whole barn-burnin new tape in fact, so really you're coming out on top no matter how you slice it

Here's what the one type of shirts look like

man, thats one cool lookin
