Hitting the streets 

Today is the big day. The Liars Bend Low is hitting the streets. The awesome peeps at Black Bow are handling international and digital distribution, we’ve got vinyl, new merch, and we’re playing twice this weekend with awesome bands. You can buy it online on band camp or iTunes. Links below.

If you’ve already binged on the S Town podcast like the rest of us. Check out the Texas metal podcast episode 17 featuring yours truly. They’re on YouTube, iTunes, and all that. Or you can just check it out at http://texasmetalshow.com/ Talking with Jon just felt like hanging out with a friend. It was a ton of fun. We talked about musical influences, how we met, how we write, and even how Tom Petty’s Last Dance With Mary Jane is basically a closet death metal song. Seriously. Our hour interview turned into a two hour interview. Sorry Jon, hope you didn’t go too crazy trying to edit all that down. 

Also, Steve’s gonna be rocking new drums,  cymbals, and hardware from now on. After rocking the same set since high school Steve went crazy. Meinl cymbals, limited edition Ludwig Vistalites (1 of 45 in the WORLD… the WORLD Craig!), and heavy duty Tama stands. Now I know 90% of you are thinking “cool story bro…” but take our word for it, they are loud and sexy AF. Steve is a full blown God of Thunder now. I mean, would you look at it?

Oh, here’s some links to the upcoming shows. Come out and grab some vinyl in person. Nobody likes buying online. Don’t believe that Amazon hype. Think about it. Jason has to make labels, there’s fees, waiting for it to show up… the instant gratification of buying one at a show is unbeatable. Plus we have fancy sharpies to sign that shit if you want.

New noise

The past few days have seen a bunch of reviews and a few songs streaming through various blogs and websites. So far the reception has been positive even when offering honest criticism. Today the album is streaming in its entirety at New Noise Magazine. Vinyl will be available in the US through our big cartel store and internationally through Black Bow Records’ website.

We’re super excited to finally get this album out there. We put a lot of heart into it and it just feels really topical right now. Stream it today. Buy digitally or on limited edition vinyl it tomorrow. When we originally started out, this was going to be a demo. Somewhere along the way it turned into an album. For a look at how it happened check out the dead city demo doc we put together. 

We can’t thank everyone at Black Bow Records and everyone else that’s supported us enough. You guys rock. 

The snowball effect

Pull up a chair, we’ve got a ton of stuff going on. Everything is starting to come together. All the shows we’ve played, the friends we’ve made, and Jason’s seemingly endless well of connections. It seems like every new thing that comes our way is another step forward. Something bigger and better. That old saying “The harder I work, the luckier I get” sums it up. 

Last weekend we spent the morning with Jon from The Texas Metal Show. Such a cool guy. A few hours flew by talking music, life, and Pyreship. It’s easy to talk about what you love. Especially with some good coffee on board. Afterwards we hit Snooze for some crack dusted pancakes. Seriously. That shit is highly addictive. 

We also got our vinyl in last week. It looks great and sounds amazing. Definitely gonna be a collectors item for anyone that’s a fan of Houston metal bands called Pyreship. They’ll be $15 at shows or $20 online from our big cartel store. It’ll be available on May 26th when the album releases. 


That’s the biggest news. Our album finally hits the streets on the 26th! The awesome folks at Black Bow Records are releasing it for us, so it’ll be everywhere. Spotify, iTunes, Bandcamp, EVERYWHERE. If you go to the Sludgelord blog you can stream the first track now. 

We’ve got a few gigs lined up to coincide with the album release. We’ll be playing at Rudyards with Forming The Void and The Dirty Seeds on the 26th. Then we’re opening for Conan and North on the 29th. 

Also, we got our first official album review from Hellbound.ca. They threw some pretty kind words our way. “Machine Men launches into some solid post-sludge riffage, sorta sounding like the heavy-but-beautiful construct of ISIS’ Oceanic album. Daaaamn, dude!” Check the whole review here: 

Pyreship – The Liars Bend Low

We finally got around to setting up a twitter account after one of our friends said we were getting reviewed over there too. We figured we probably need to stay in the loop. So follow us on twitter @PyreshipHTX to keep up with all the Pyreship news that’s fit to retweet. 

All the stuff we mentioned above… here’s the links. Check ’em out.
