UPDATE!

Just a few updates for ya'll;

- Chris Donovan and Peter Cormier have both left The Detractions, due to scheduling conflicts. No hard feelings at all and we wish those bros all the best! As such, we are stoked to announce that Shawn Savard (Random Task Collective) has joined us on the bass, and Eric Jessee (The Prabes, The Champlain Drop) has joined on drums!

- We're playing our first show with the tweaked lineup on SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 1ST at Verns with The Ativans, Trip and Stumble, Copsickle, and South City Ale. It's gonna be a Halloween dressup/hungover show, and we're gonna be playing a bunch of new material. Poster soon! - Recording WILL be resuming (finally) for our 7" LP once we have played a few shows and solidified our lineup.

Summer may be over but we are still total bummers. See you soon!!

FRANKENSTYLE

I got a new tattoo I got a new pair of shoes Raid the morgue of the store so I can impress you I got some knock off shades I like to misbehave Shambling corpse of a fashion and I'm in my grave Give me awhile I'll become that style Give me awhile I'll become that Frankenstyle F-f-f-Frankenstyle I got a new tape deck My whole life is a wreck Sutures on my head and my lips around a cigarette I got my jacket on Originality's gone Listen to noise and pretend to hum along Give me awhile I'll become that style Give me awhile I'll become that Frankenstyle Resurrect my clothes Resurrect my hair Zombified remains of eras past but I don't care That Frankenstyle That Frankenstyle That Frankenstyle That f-f-f-Frankenstyle

We're adjusting the lineup a bit, writing new songs furiously, and hitting the recording studio again. New shows with the new lineup will be happening real soon once we hammer things down. Stay tuned for a more solid announcement in the near future!
