Smoke and Mirrors was featured yesterday on Hardcoreshirt.com which is a really cool blog featuring current bands and artists t-shirts and merchandise. There's some crazy stuff coming out all over the place really pushing the boundaries of design and screen printing so this is a cool blog that is updated frequently if you're into seeing more of that kind of stuff. Thanx hardcoreshirt.com for featuring our band and also to anyone curious our guitarist Jack who runs Recon Creative did all of our shirt designs. Check them out here!

Thanx to all who came out last week to Theatre 145 and to all of the guys in Aggro Hippie, Taste The Steel, etc… We had a really good time and it was fun to play a different venue here in the Gem City. For anyone there you might have noticed the debut of two new tracks. We've been working hard on some new songs all summer and this past weekend we entered Midtown Recording studios with our good friend and engineer Shawn Hammer. In between Chinese food, burritos, coca colas, a few beers, horrendous flatulence, and games of C-lo and hangman, we actually managed to play a few songs and immortalize them on tape (well I guess it's hard drives these days). We're very excited to unveil these for everyone and will do so in the not so far off future. Smoke and Mirrors has a lot of great stuff coming up this Fall / Winter as far as some vinyl releases of new and old stuff. We're still working on finalizing all of the details on these projects but as soon as we can divulge everything you bet we will.

Also a quick note that Smoke and Mirrors will be a little weekend adventure with an awesome punk / hardcore band called THE NEW ENEMY from Toronto, Canada. If you live in either city you should come out and rock out with us all. It's gonna be a good weekend for sure and all of our Erie friends should show these guys a good time!
