NEWS UPDATE!!!
Yo,
March 2008 - So look above this news post, and regard the link to our new eSTORE. They're currently running a March 11, 2008 streetdate pre-sale "combo meal" of our new disc, "1985." So for those of you waiting for the streetdate, order that sucker now and get a t-shirt too! Data Panic Distro will be selling all of our t-shirts online. These dudes are our bro's, and will do you right. We get all our t-shirts made from them. For serious.
Tour News - We've of course got our April tour coming up real quick. We'll be heading east, so check the dates to see if we'll be crushing your town. Next tour, we head west. Oh yes, we will have our revenge!
Other News - Riddle of Steel is excited to announce we are the proud players/endorsers or Everly brand guitar and bass strings - yes, of the Everly Brothers fame. Huge shout out to our dude, J. Mccabe for the ultra-sweet hookup and clue-in to these wicked strings. Someone buy that man a drink! Give 'em a looksee - www.EVERLYMUSIC.com
Till then, we're just waiting for spring. Fuck this winter shit.
Cheers, ROS

EARLY 2008 UPDATE - Happy new year! Thanks to everyone who came out to this last lil' stint we did with our bro's Roma 79. Crazy good times were had as usual. Huge thanks to all who helped in getting those shows together, we had a blast. It's now a handful of days into the new year, and I do believe our hangovers have finally passed. Holy hell. What to expect real soon? A coupla' regional dates coming your way, followed by a SXSW date in March with subsequent tour to follow. Details coming soon. The new record is for sale online at our label site. For the love of Zeus people just clink the link above. Otherwise the national streetdate is 03/11/2008, for those determined to buy it in a store, or purchase the tracks online. Until then, give yourself a pat on the back for your excellent taste!
Cheers! - Andrew
