In the 90s, Rob Haworth started hardcore bands such as INSIDE OUT and HARD STANCE – both together with is friend Zach de la Rocha who you know from being the singer in RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE – as well as FARSIDE and the amazing STATE OF THE NATION. SECOND LETTER is a new band Haworth started after a longer break from playing music. Peter Moffett (WOOL, BURNING AIRLINES, GOVERNMENT ISSUE) took place on the drum seat, and Jim Kimball (RETISONIC, J MAJESTY) plays the bass guitar. "Cicatrix" is not a hardcore record though. It brings you super relaxed, melodic rock music, located somewhere between punk, indierock and alternative country. Fans of bands such as SOCIAL DISTORTION, SAMIAM or CHAMBERLAIN should definiftely have a listen. The album artwork has been designed by John Yates, who has created beautiful artworks for many great bands such as BAD RELIGION, DEAD KENNEDYS, ALKALINE TRIO, JAWBRAKER, REPORT SUSPICIOUS ACTIVITY, TOMAHAWK, THE PROMISE RING, ANTI FLAG, and LIFETIME. SECOND LETTER‘s debut album "Cicatrix" is going to be released on Arctic Rodeo Recordings on May 11 2018. The record will be out on colored vinyl LP, including an MP3 download card. The record is now available for pre-order at the Arctic Rodeo webstore. The artist Alexander Hanke has created an amazing design for the limited Zum Heimathafen Art Series. It will be limited to 200 copies, screeprinted by hand, and come together with en exclusive pressing of the LP on silver/gold mixed vinyl. The standard version is pressed on red vinyl. You can place your pre-orders here: SECOND LETTER – "Cicatrix" – Zum Heimathafen Art Series edition – LP on silver/gold mixed vinyl + MP3 card + handmade screenprint SECOND LETTER – "Cicatrix" – standard edition – LP on red vinyl + MP3 card

Yes, Dischord and Stickfigure Distribution will carry the standard edition.

REPORT SUSPICIOUS ACTIVITY are back together again for an important and serious cause: Vic Bondi (Articles of Faith, Jones Very and Alloy, Dead Ending), J Robbins (Jawbox, Burning Airlines, Government Issue, Channels, Office of Future Plans, Camorra), Erik Denno (Kerosene 454, Oswego) and Darren Zentek (Kerosene 454, Channels, Office of Future Plans, Oswego) are here to make a difference. REPORT SUSPICIOUS ACTIVITY started with George W. Bush. Vic Bondi had more or less quit music. For five years he had kept a low profile, working in software and raising a family. And then there were the hanging chads and the Supreme Court appointed Bush, and Bondi's muse, reliably political, asserted itself. He'd been friends with J Robbins of Jawbox and Government Issue fame, and sent him demos for a solo record that J would produce; J liked them enough that he signed on to play bass and recruited erstwhile Channels bandmate Darren Zentek to play drums. The end product, REPORT SUSPICIOUS ACTIVITY, was better than the sum of the parts and a step up from the demos, so they recruited Darren's Kerosene 454 bandmate, Erik Denno, and make it official: REPORT SUSPICIOUS ACTIVITY was a band. They had three lead singers. They had a brutal rhythm section. They had complex and dynamic post-hardcore guitars. They sang about what was happening. They played the hell live. Two albums, and one EP later, they put the project on pause. Vic and Erik both moved from New York--Vic to Seattle and Erik to LA--and the logistics of working with J and Darren, both Baltimore residents, made it difficult to continue. And then Trump won the Electoral College. Darren called Vic two days after the election. And J. and Erik. Vic and J wrote new songs. Three months after the election they were back in the studio and tracking. The result? -- Ten tracks smack in the middle of today. About huge moving things, mostly unseen. Relentless. Leviathan. Out December 15 on LP and digital. "Leviathan" will be out December 15 on vinyl and digital. The standard edition of 300 copies will be available on white vinyl, our limited collector’s Zum Heimathafen Art Series edition will be pressed on gold/orange marbled vinyl and come with an exclusive handmade screenprint, limited to 200 copies. All LPs have a download card and an insert included. The album is not up for preorder at http://arcticrodeorecordings.com/shop
