So the boys from Deep Insight have release a “new” song. Well… its a song recorded years ago that never made it on an album. You can here it at their office site HERE or over on their myspace. Its called “Bullets and Bodybags”.

I wonder if Jukka wrote that. He is such a little lamb I am having a hard time believing it. But go have a listen and tell me what you think!

Bloodpit announced today that they are back from their “break” and that they were never broken up.

From their myspace:

BLOODPIT recovered: The cassette is rolling again

Public word got it all wrong — Bloodpit has not called it quits.
The Finnish chart topping rock band had it rolling last summer but after having a rough period of time, they had to take a time-out. They will now continue their career, stronger than ever. The new lineup will be announced 10th of July.

Bloodpit guitarist Paavo Pekkonen comments the band’s current position:
“I would not use the word comeback, since none of us ever said we have split up. The Off The Hook-tour ended to a complete dead end last summer, but despite all that we played a few cover gigs as a trio with Aleksi and Alarik last fall. Everything felt really good while playing live and rehearsing the covers, so we started to make new songs. We
realized quite fast, that it sounded like Bloodpit all the way.”

Bloodpit will only play one show in Finland this summer. The event will take place in Dog..s Home, Tampere, Thursday 10th of July. There will be a press conference held at Dog’s Home on the same day, where Bloodpit will reveal the new members and their future plans. Presale tickets to the gig can be bought from Backstage Alliance’s webstore, www.bsa-store.com, starting Monday 2nd of June 9.00 am.

Backstage Alliance will release a brand new Bloodpit EP entitled
“Recovered” 1st of October 2008. Pre-sales of the new EP will also
start at BSA-store on the 2nd of June.

Bloodpit will tour in Europe next fall and in Finland (in addition to the the 10th of July show), the band has confirmed to play Musiikki & Media, the annual Finnish music trade fair arranged in Tampere 23-25.10.2008.
