Cruise Post-Poned
Unfortunately No Cruise This Year

This years annual cruise has had to be post-poned until next year due to unforseen circumstances. We are sorry for any inconvenience, anyone who has bought a ticket will be fully refunded.

An alternative date is being negotiated but may not be available until early next year. It is unfortunate but it will give us time to get the long awaited debut EP Tactical Persuasion finalised...

1 Shot Kill @ Excelsior Sat 24
1 Shot Kill, Degeneracy & Intrepid

1 Shot Kill play the Excelsior (Surry Hills) on Sat 24 september supported by Degeneracy and Intrepid. Should be huge as we haven't played at our local all year. Plus i don't think Degeneracy have played at all all year, so be sure to check out there brutal brand of "grind-punk-pop". Intrepid have only just started playing shows and they're getting rave reviews and sounding awesome.

So get on down to our local and have a beer with us and enjoy the Metal!...

Guitars Tracked!
The final piece of the puzzle fits nicely!

On Sunday we went to the Brain studio's in Surry Hills to complete the tracking for 'TACTICLE PERSUASION'. Everything went without a hitch and we managed to touch up some vocals and it kicks ass. Luke pulled a great sound and Tim played the songs spot on. Gaz nailed some great vocals that were better than the originals. The vibe was good.

Meanwhile Stego got pissed and I held the talkback mic in place...Overall it was a productive day in a quality studio and we can't wait to mix it coz it already sounds sic. Check back for some rough mixes real soon...
