This video was shot during Mother Of Mercy’s set at the Eating Glass last show at Siesta Nouveaux back in September.
The track is Suffer, the best song on one of the best LP’s of 2009.
Thanks to Ryan for the video.

LP of the year? Probably.
Ive been wrestling with the idea of starting a zine for the past couple of months, and always ended up putting off making a decision one way or another.
Well enough fence-sitting, I decided to take on the project, and tonight I completed the first interview, which features Mark Palm.
Mark was the lead singer of Canadian hardcore legends Go It Alone, and he has a new project Devotion which (from what I’ve heard so far), is awesome.
I’ll (hopefully) be completing the rest of the features throughout the next couple of months to have the yet untitled zine available in the early spring.
Stay tuned for more info.

Brian Fallon’s acoustic rendition of Kelly Clarkson’s “I Do Not Hook Up”, recorded during his June BBC Live Lounge Session.
New Band. New Jams.
I’ve been talking about putting together a side project for what seems like forever. Well, as of last night this pipe dream has started to become a reality.
Keep your ear to the street. More info to come.

“Crime In Stereo’s next full-length release, I Was Trying To Describe You To Someone, has been confirmed for release on February 23, 2010, on Bridge Nine Records. “This is by far our biggest accomplishment as a band,” says Alex Dunne, the band’s guitarist. “It’s not just our best record; it’s leaps and bounds beyond everything we’ve done previously. We’ve never been this excited to release a record and can’t wait for you to hear it.”
I Was Trying To Describe You To Someone was recorded this summer and fall with producer extraordinaire Mike Sapone (Brand New’s Daisy and The Devil and God Are Raging Inside Me, Crime In Stereo’s Is Dead). Hailed by fans as well as critics, Is Dead was called “The Shape of Hardcore to Come…some of the most ambitious, stunning songwriting melodic hardcore has witnessed in years” by Alternative Press, and was lauded by Big Cheese (UK) as “A great hardcore album? No, a great album, full stop.”
Its funny that is announcement comes just days after my last post, which was in praise of their 2005 record, The Troubled Stateside.
I’m really excited to see how CIS has once again evolved their sound and songwriting. I am hoping that in sharing a practice space with Brand New, they have drawn some further influence from the band (which seemed like the case with …Is Dead, the B9 summer comp single “War”, and even some tracks from Selective Wreckage).
Hopefully Crime In Stereo will be showcasing some new tracks when they roll through Toronto in a couple of weeks with Brand New.
