We're back in the UK having played a few gigs last week in Germany/Holland. We ended up going on our own due to other Man Hands commitments and are already sorting out when we can come back for a longer stretch. Thanks to everyone who helped us out.

We have some new shirts which we got printed for these gigs which you can buy from our bandcamp page at www.jackalshc.bandcamp.com 

EVERYDAY FABRIC

Our new 7" is out now. 6 songs on black vinyl, pressing of 300. The labels should have their copies this week, to buy from them visit www.boslevanrecords.co.uk or paradeofspectires.blogspot.co.uk

We'll have them at all future gigs and you can listen to the record or download it for free, or buy a copy of the 7" from us online at www.jackalshc.bandcamp.com 

We are planning to go to Europe with Man Hands towards the end of October... hopefully it actually  happens this time. We'll have details of that as soon as we get some gigs confirmed.

We've got another record coming out soon, test presses were approved this week. Artwork and everything is being sorted now and it shouldn't be too long before it is all done, which means the tape and the 7" will end up actually getting to people pretty soon after one another.

For now, you can listen to the Survival Instincts tape at our brand new bandcamp where you can also download it for free, and we've got t-shirts etc. for sale there too. Also, if you haven't already, check out Parade of Spectres as they are one of the best labels/distros in the UK and Boslevan Records, which is a new label set up by our friend Mikee. Both are helping us to release the 7" and are run by excellent people.

A couple of websites have written about the tape, which should be on the way to people this week. Here are  links to people saying we are good...

First off, a review,

And secondly a write up that isn't exactly a review as such, but the guy writing it likes us.

We played a few gigs with our friends in Man Hands this weekend as well as some other great bands. Next up we have a gig in September with No Tolerance and Give, and we should have plenty more sorted for the rest of the year in the next few weeks.

SURVIVAL INSTINCTS

Jackals - Profit (2012) from Robby Wartke on Vimeo.

Here's a new song, with a video made by our friend Robby Wartke. You can view his other stuff at http://robbywartke.tumblr.com/films

The song is one of 4 songs which we recorded earlier this year which are being released on tape by another friend of ours, Sean of Youth Camp Records. It's called 'Survival Instincts' and there are 100 copies available. We'll be following this release up with a 7" within the next few months.

You can order the tape now from http://www.youthcamprecords.bigcartel.com/ and listen to the whole thing at http://youthcamprecords.bandcamp.com/

We'll also have copies to sell at our next gig providing everything goes to plan. We'll also get round to setting up our own bandcamp sometime soon.

We're also playing with Dopefight, Anguish, Rough Justice and some more bands at the Riverside in Sheffield on the 13th.

We couldn't play with Integrity as I had to have a knee operation. We are however playing these gigs this weekend...

As you can see, we don't have anything for Friday. If you can help us out, we'll play for whatever you can afford and a place to sleep. Email jack.pitt@uea.ac.uk if you can help.

One of a few new releases we have coming soon, more details shortly.

Next show is in Brighton with Integrity, then after that we are doing a weekend with Human Junk which includes the last two Battle of Wolf 359 gigs in the UK. Here's the poster for the Integrity one, we don't have one for the Human Junk weekender yet as we are still sorting one of the gigs.

Photos taken by James at our local show as part of the weekender we played with Moloch and some other great bands.

Next gig is in Norwich with Art of Burning Water... we won't be doing anything gig wise in May but should have some other stuff to talk about real soon.

We've got a few gigs lined up over the next few months. First up are a couple with Moloch at the end of March/start of April. One in London, another in Norwich. Then we are hopefully doing another weekend early April. It's a while away but we are also playing with Integrity and Rot In Hell in June too. As always the full details of everything we are playing will be in the 'shows' section as soon as they are finalised.

We are also recording a load of new songs in a few weeks with Atko in Bradford. More details of what will happen with those when we know ourselves, but it's shaping up to be the best stuff we've done by far.

We've got some new shirts which you can buy from www.jackals.bigcartel.com or at any of our future gigs. The shirt was designed by Wes and looks like this....
