The Mag Seven have two new members.  Bill Stevenson (Black Flag, Descendents, All, Only Crime) and Zach Blair (Hagfish, GWAR, Armstrong, Only Crime) now members of the 100% instrumental band.  Stevenson will play drums and produce the band's upcoming full-length due out in May 2006.

"See the trouble of a good musician, record, and person is that they inspire you.  Good music is trouble.  One day I was in a music store shopping with my father and found a cd with a cartoon I liked for the cover.  It was $13.99 and I was short a good few dollars, so my father made me a trade.  If I purchased him a Bob Marley CD for $6.99 then he would get me this random album I wanted for no reason other than I liked the simple artwork.  It turned out to be quite the trade and I found the first band I ever loved, the first punk rock cd I ever owned, a Descendents record.  The Descendents inspired a geeky head-in-the-books kid who liked cartoons, comics, and computers to become...and adult who likes more or less the same thing, just kidding.  So the Descendents started me on my quest to learn about this subculture and way of life that is punk rock, that is so much more than music.  I founded a music web site or two and started End because this became a part of me, it inspired me.  Now its a few years later and i've learned the true meaning of Enjoy! and seen Ornette Coleman with Bill here in Texas.  In an indication of total fandom, to this day I have a letter Bill wrote me as a response to a fan letter when I was 12 or 13...I mysteriously neglect to ever tell Bill this.  Anyway, i'm extremely proud that I will get the privilege of releasing a record both played on and produced by Bill.  I hope you all check out this record and i'll certainly have a geat time releasing it." - Jonathan

Saboteur has added a new guitar player to the band, just in time for their November/December East Coast (U.S.) tour.  Gray Wilcox (Last Surprise, Early Pearl) will join Justin Wilson (Red Animal War, The Numbers Twist) on guitar duties.

The title of the album comes from the idea of collectings songs and videos created since our inception seven years ago. This is also a thank you to our fans who've wanted to hear our Hit Factory sessions, more of the J. Robbins sessions, songs only available in vinyl, and two songs recorded live in Dallas. Music videos will be enhanced and both live songs will have corresponding picture. A tour schedule will be posted upon closer reach to the release of our new album. Much appreciation goes out to End Sounds, Sony Red and Rev it Up Designs for their belief and support in our music, each playing a pivitol role in making this album available to you. Working with so many new people makes it unable to list everyone, but love is given in what little bits we can say here. We are also indebted to our fans, who have been patient as we indulge in so many musical endevours. We hope you enjoy them all.

NOTE: End Sounds is also releasing an EP from Saboteur, Justin's band with Steve and Rob from Slowride and Gray from Last Surprise. Saboteur songs are infectious and crushing. You want them playing your house party. Listen to their music here. The release comes out everywhere on Nov. 1st . Pick it up!

Red Animal War is seeking live footage of the band from the past seven years of their existence for an unspecified project.  Over the past few months, the band has obtained 100+ hours of footage from tours during the past four years, however RAW would like to see any footage you may have recorded involving the band.  Justin Wilson (vocals/guitar) has a background in professional video editing.  Wilson's work can likely be seen on your TV in the form of commercials, major label DVDs, and in various music videos.

The final result of all this footage is undetermined however some of the content will likely appear in some form in a Summer 2006 End Sounds DVD compilation, a RAW DVD, or additional RAW music videos.

Please send footage in any available format along with a description and your contact info to:
