Home from tour

Tour was amazing. Thank you so much to everyone who booked a show, gave us a place to sleep, cooked us food, and hung out with us. We are out of the 7" repress and shirts, but the new record is in the works. When we get more details on it we will let you all know. We have a few shows coming up in early 2011. One 1/22 with Draize and one during the first weekend of February with White Guilt (if you haven't gotten their new LP, get it).

Thanks again to everyone who came out to shows last week.

Tour and Repress

The second week of December Deathrats will be embarking on a tour north, so that we can experience as much cold temperature as possible. We have mapped out a 9 day tour up the east coast into Canada for two shows and back down. If you live in any of these places and would like to help us out or know someone who can, please contact us at Deathratsdc@gmail.com.

Because we are still working on details to record our next record, it won't be ready for this tour. We decided, so that we have music for this tour and because we get emails pretty frequently asking for a record, that we are going to repress the 1st 7". Will from To Live A Lie Records has already put this into motion. As we get final details on that we will update you as well.

We are also out of medium shirts. Thanks for buying 'em. If you are a YL, Small, or Large and still want a shirt we still have some left.

Until next time,
Greg/DR

T-Shirts

We still have a bunch of shirts left over from our spring tour. We have sizes from Youth Large-Large. Every shirt order comes with one of our randomly colored patches. The shirts are $10 ppd. (If you don't live in the States, email us first) If you just want a patch e-mail us and we will figure something out.




Deathrats Shirt







Jeez! It has been a while

So some could say that a lot has happened since the last time we updated, but really I don't think there has been much going on. We played a few shows and have been slowly working on some new stuff. We were also interviewed in the September/October issue of MRR by our friends Will Butler and Gordy Tornado. As of now we have two shows coming up and one or two in the works. Outside of these shows we are taking sometime to 1. record for our next record and 2. recharge ourselves and motivations. We have all been working on new projects as well. Brad, Brian, and Christine are all in a band called State Violence, Christine is playing guitar in an awesome new band called Hot Mess, Brad is playing in a band called Teenage Hate and Brian and I are in two new bands one called Hubris and one called Pliant (or philistine or No graves, it's been a process). Brian and I have also started a record label called Hesitation Wound Records. Our first release is coming out pretty soon. We (Deathrats) are pretty excited to get our new stuff recorded as well as older stuff that has yet to be recorded. As plans for that roll in we will update you all.

Here are the shows we have coming up:
October 26th @ Everlasting Life
Burning Love (ex. Cursed/LFD/The Swarm)
The Gift
Deathrats
maybe more TBA?

December 11th @ Vassar College
Natural Law
Deathrats
Death First
Black Wing

Another show or two around the December 11th show are being talked about to make it a little weekend tour.

We are going to try to keep this updated as frequently as possible. That is as long as we are doing stuff working updating about.
