Two new tracks from WITCH HUNT, picking up where Blood-Red States left off, plus a Rudimentary Peni cover. Aggressive punk with melody.

WITCH HUNT – "Blood-Red States" LP/CD (LP Self-Released, CD split release w/ Fistolo)

FROM MRR 278: What a pleasant surprise--- this is way, way better than their first album.  The bands sounds so much fuller and tighter due to the acquisition of an awesome new drummer, Vince, allowing Rob to move from drums to second guitar and concentrate more on vocals.  The wall-of-noise production is fucking killer, and the songs are more powerfuland more melodic at the same time---  if only more bands could have this combination!  As before, WITCH HUNT's most notable attribute is the brutal, scorching, and still tuneful vocals of Nicole and Janine.  Their music is a pounding, flowing, crashing wave of beautiful, dark crust-core, proving that a band can play epic crust and not sound like TRAGEDY.  Again, other bands take the cue.  The lyrics on this LP read almost like the anti-war coming-of-age rock opera that those poser stadium-punks wish they could've written.  Amazing! (PC)

FROM SUBURBAN VOICE BLOG 19: A lineup shift as Witch Hunt beef up their sound with Rob moving from drums to guitar and the addition of a new drummer. Rob also has an increased amount of vocal duties. A peace punk band and I'm not just saying that because of the peace symbols on the fold-out sleeve and record label. It's a stylistic influence, both in terms of the lyrical matter and sound. Raging, impassioned music with a combination of speed and melody. "War Coma" brings Crucifix to mind. The title track draws together the war in Iraq and the indifference towards the victims of Hurricane Katrina as part of the current administration's pure evilness. Witch Hunt really come into their own here. By the way, that aforementioned sleeve, a drawing by Rob that pictures a dead man sprawled across the blood red states, is an appropriate visual accompaniment.  (Al Quint)

WITCH HUNT – "This Is Only the Beginning…" CD (Fistolo)

This is the newest and oldest CD by Philadelphia's Witch Hunt, documenting their first few years as a band.  24-tracks in all, it includes their first LP ("...As Priorities Decay"), their first self-titled 7", their split 7" with Deathbag, unreleased demo tracks and more.  All remastered from the original mixes by Don Grossinger, this is a diverse feast of crust, hardcore, anarcho-punk and traditional punk rock...layered with dueling female/male vocals attacking issues of sexism, racism, reproductive rights ("Legislative Bodies Legislating Bodies"), just to name a few.  Witch Hunt wield a unique sound, as well as a unique lyrical style that is both pissed off and proud, full of rage and full of hope all at once.  They are not to be missed...and if you have been wanting to check them out but don't know where to start, well, this would (chrono)logically be a good place!  They're not stoppin' anytime soon...

FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)
Current mood: optimistic

It was recently decided in the Witch Hunt camp that we were in dire need of a Frequently Asked Questions blog .  We figure this will save both you guys and us from some serious migranes so here they are, with more on the way I'm sure!  Questions are in bold, answers are italicized:

- When are y'all coming to California again?
We're pretty much always in the stages of setting up another tour, whether we make it to California or anywhere else depends on how much time we have.  Basically when we have things figured out we will send out a myspace bulletin or a newsletter email (sign up for it via the myspace page if you're interested) listing the tentative / confirmed dates.

- Yo!  What's with the peace-sign?  Are you guys hippies or something?
Are we hippies?  No (except maybe Nicole).  Is peace such a bad thing?  No (although judging from the reactions we've gotten it seems a lot of folks really beg to differ).  The decaying peace-symbol on our records, banner, etc. represents an idealogical erosion-of-sorts.  The peace-symbol is the perfect example...  A wonderful concept championed by a generation that became meaningless once it was commodified, over-used, and eventually abandoned by that generation as they grew up and chased their own dreams of luxury and convenience, fucking over anyone in their path, by any means necessary.  We also chose this "logo" because in the wake of 9/11 it was beginning to seem like you couldn't tell who was a war-monger and who was a punk anymore.  We wanted people to know what side we're on as well as remind them that any culture can be corrupted, bought, and sold, even a holier-than-thou DIY culture.  History repeats itself. 

- Please make "Cosmetic Plague" downloadable!  Why do you torture us?
"Cosmetic Plague" was been sitting on the shelf for a while after the original project it was recorded for (a RUDIMENTARY PENI tribute comp) was aborted.  It is now available on our split 7" w/ TO WHAT END?  (See the "Ordering Merch" Blog).

- When is your split w/ To What End? from Sweden coming out?
It's out.  Come get some. (UPDATED 5/19/08)

- Can you get my band a show in Philadelphia?
Unfortunately we can't really help out with shows.  We will try to help folks we know personally but we really don't have the time or energy to help everyone.  We all work and have lives outside the band which makes it incredibly difficult to even write people back on this thing.  However, we try to write back as much as we can and if we can point you in the right direction for a show then we'll try our best.  Please do not take it personally!

PS - Try www.phillyshreds.com .

- I heard you guys are signing to a major label, you have a gurantee, and you're sponsored by all these companies 'n' shit...  Say it ain't so!
Nope.  Certain folks like to perpetuate lies about people they don't know(and sometimes people they know) to move higher up on the punk-rock food chain, especially when they've dug themselves into holes they can't get out of.  We will continue to write/play music and we will continue to work with people we trust and can communicate with.  We will also continue to break our instruments as well as our van and shell out any savings we have to fix them.

- Did you guys break up???
Nope.
