With only eight days until its crowdfunding campaign on Kickstarter comes to an end, Tourniquet has now reached over $16,668 (from more than 400 backers) for their new album. Originally seeking only $16,000, the project managed to raise its initial goal quickly. The new album will be released next year.
Drummer and co-founder Ted Kirkpatrick says; “We did it! Thank you all and special thanks to Daniele from Italy who pledged for a pair of my beat up drumsticks used in the recording. You put us over!!! Still 8 days left to get involved!”
In December we reported that, by mutual and respectful agreement, Luke Easter has stepped down as vocalist of thrash/heavy metal band Tourniquet. The band is still looking for a new singer. In a previous update (April) the band said:
Tourniquet co-founder and drummer Ted Kirkpatrick (picture) has checked in with the following update regarding the new album:
For a very long time it was very quiet around punk-rock band One Bad Pig (OBP) until Jan. 2016, the band has reunited and just launched a Kickstarter campaign to raise funds for their first new album in 25 years. Their goal is a humble $7,000, and at the time this goes to print, the band is already more than halfway there. Check out the video below.
The guys in Fallstar have recently gone independent, amicably parting ways with former label Facedown. With the goal of releasing it on Dec. 8, the band has already written the album and is seeking the help in order to release the album. The 14-track album, “Future Golden Age,” was written over the course of the past two years, starting out with 40 tracks before the band whittled it down to the release number of 14.
Prior to the release of their fourth full-length album, Signum Regis will release an 6 song EP. The recording of the EP is almost done, and a release is scheduled for Feb. 2015. An kickstarter campaign to finance the EP and a new music video has started today. Read the following message and check out the video update of bassplayer Ronnie König below.
