Right, last weekends release shows were a bit of a shambles, Bastions got stuck down South, Prelude got stuck up North, and Lavotchkin got stuck in the 'Toon. All down to the fucking snow.
alas, all was not lost, Horrors That You've Seen jumped on board for an impromptu Edinburgh set with HUSH, which, considering the blistering cold and lack of bands, was a decent llittle show indeed. Even missing a guitarist (stuck in Wales), these guys are getting better every time they play, and are carving themselves a quality little set for their final show of the year with Dead Swans next weekend. HUSH lost and gained a bassist last month, and he's got stuck right in, and they're sounding awesome. Their new shit is HEAVY as fuck, can't wait for you all to hear it.
Glasgow was a complete shambles right up until the bands started; two seperate gigs got fucked over by the snow, and after much fucking around the bands from either show that could still make it got together for a free show which went down a treat. Clocked Out, HUSH & Citizens were all on fucking great form, and provided what could easily have been a long-planned bill of excellence, rather than a salvaging of shows.

So, there's still two Darkest Season release shows left, and fuck if they're going to go ahead:
Friday 10th - Newcastle, Northumberland Arms with Lavotchkin, HUSH, Grace & End Reign
Saturday 11th - Leeds, Santiago's with Lavotchkin, Black Mass, HUSH & Prelude To The Hunt (yes, ALL FOUR bands from the split :) )
If you live anywhere neare these two cities, get on it, they're going to be awesome, and will be the last chance to catch any of the bands this year.
