Boris Releases New CD, "Smile", on Southern Lord

Southern Lord just released the latest disc by Japanese noise rockers Boris. The band's new CD "Smile" has been out on the Diwphalanx label in Japan for about a month but the Southern Lord version has a number of different songs and different mixes than its Japanese counterpart. Like most Southern Lord releases, the label has released a limited edition version of this disc for mail order customers. This mail order version is limited to 3,000 copies and comes with a bonus DVD that includes videos for the songs "Statement" , My Neighbor Satan", and "Pink".

All of Boris' releases sell out quickly so get this while you can (...or pay eBay prices later).

The Growing @ Water Street Lounge, Brooklyn Nov. 11, 2006

The Growing were the final act to play last Sunday night. Every time I see the band, I am impressed with their live show and last week did not disappoint. There were also some humerous moments at the show. The first was that all of the band's electronics blew the power and it took a number of minutes to reset the circuit. The second was that after the band finished their set, they seemed completely shocked when the crowd started chanting for an encore (which the band played).

As it doesn't look like The Growing are currently touring, I would recommend checking out some of their studio releases. The band's first release on Kranky The Sky's Run Into the Sea along with His Return on Troubleman/Megablade are great starting points.
