BMA News Update: Keepin' it short and sweet

It's been nearly a month since the last BMA news update, so now's as good a time as any to update what little news we have to share.

Paria has a sweet review/blurb on Billboard.com about its newest release, "The Barnacle Cordious."

The Abominable Iron Sloth, as announced today on the band's MySpace, will soon begin recording its BMA debut in Kentucky with Chris Owens (Lords). Though a release date is not yet solidified, end of summer is our general projection.

Guy recently did an interview with Hardtimes.ca when on tour in Montreal, Quebec. In the interview he discusses BMA and shares his thoughts on the music industry.
