Enjoy The Ride Records have announced a new 30th anniversary vinyl pressing of Local H’s “As Good As Dead.” However, the band have since commented on the reissue, saying it was news to them.
Local H said the following:
“Well, this is news to us. Especially since we were in the process of acquiring the rights from the label for our own official reissue. But —y’know— who the fuck are we, right? (By the way — the remaster we commissioned sounds terrific. Too bad no one will get to hear it.)”
Enjoy The Ride Records then responded:
“@local_h we are very sorry you were not aware as we messaged you guys over a year ago about this to get you involved. I just got off a call with your manager to discuss this given the circumstances in hopes we can work something out that makes sense for everyone involved as In no way was this intentionally hid from you as we always try to get the artists involved best we can when they are active and want to be. please check your dms as we messaged you a year ago.”
The band later added:
“You might have heard the news yesterday about a certain reissue of a certain record. Well, it was certainly news to us. But there’s no use in pointing fingers — let’s just concentrate on the GOOD news! The OFFICIAL release of the long awaited 30th anniversary vinyl edition of AS GOOD AS DEAD will be available to get in your hot little hands —DIRECTLY from us! Featuring exclusive liner notes, original and enhanced artwork supervised by the original artist Jerry Newbrough, and an all new vinyl remaster by Dan Coutant (the acclaimed engineer behind our WHATEVER HAPPENED TO PJ SOLES? remaster).”
The Anderson, SC date of Kid Rock’s Rock The Country festival has now been cancelled due to “unforeseen circumstances.” This news comes after Shinedown, Ludacris, etc. pulled out of the event.
The Anderson County Administrator told Fox Carolina the following about the cancellation:
“Anderson County has been proud to host Rock the Country for the past two years. The event was a huge success drawing tens of thousands of visitors, making a multi-million-dollar economic impact on the Upstate. An event of this caliber proved what a great venue and exceptional hospitality we have here in Anderson County. Of course, we are disappointed that Rock the Country will not return to Anderson this year.
We are already planning additional major events and look forward to exciting announcements to come. Anderson County is committed to bringing high quality arts and entertainment to our community.”
The remaining dates are expected to continue as planned. However, the festival has proven to be controversial due to its MAGA-leaning lineup.
The S.E.T. have parted ways with guitarist Brady Ebert. This news comes after he recently blasted his former band Turnstile.
The S.E.T. commented:
“Brady is no longer a member of THE S.E.T. We will not stand by his ridiculous comments and behavior toward the members of our band and our community. We will continue to put on for Baltimore hardcore and thank everyone for their support.”
Ebert has since responded as well:
“Have no clue what statements “The set” (self evident truth— a name I came up with btw) but I haven’t made any statements about anyone except turnstile that arent completely true
Ive been blocked from the bands instagram for about a week and thought it was deleted until yesterday. And have texted with band members as recent as a day or two ago but they haven’t attempted to contact me”
