June was a great month for shows, this years "Sabbin You Up" was fuckin ridiculous. TRI-STATE CREW packed nearly 400 people in BankShots for what was one of the best shows I have ever played.

Things are really busy right now. Where do I start? Sab (a long time friend of the band) Soup, and myself (tone) have started a promotions group called TRI-STATE CREW PRODUCTIONS. Our objective is to bring hardcore/punk/oi/metal shows to Delaware on a consistent basis. So far we are overwhelmed with all the support from the local bands, clubs and people to all of the out of state bands and promoters involved in making the hardcore movement what it is today.

Finally after six months of writing new material, we have stated booking studio time with CLAY CREEK STUDIOS in Newark Delaware. This is scheduled for June/July, and should be released by August of 2006.

With TRI-STATE setting things off, hard response is really busy playing shows in Delaware and spreading our unique sound out-of-state as well. We are playing shows with some of the following bands: Bad Luck 13, Stout, Unyoung Heroes, Underdog, All Else Failed, Necktie, Walleye, 25 Ta Life, Barricade, and some other surprises as well.

Check back for updates and thanks for your support.
