Thorp Records - Exciting news from Refuse Resist : "Welcome Steve Risteen to Refuse Resist as second guitar. Come see him tear it up on Valentine's Day 2010 at Great Scott for the RR CD release and Holbrook benefit show. Today is a good day."

it's true. just got him an amp last night haha.

he is an amazing guy to be around. full of energy and fun. can't wait until the CD release show. He'll be playing part of the set on the 29th in Worcester to warm him up, but the full debut will be at Great Scott in Allston. St. Valentine's Day Massacre

Wow, that's amazing news, congratulations guys!

If you told me 3 years ago when I started this band that an original member of Slapshot would be in the band, I probably would have laughed at you. Steve is a great guy, really fun to be around and he's going to add a lot to the band. I'm glad to have him aboard.

Congrats guys

Thanks everyone, we're really psyched about this. What better way to start the new year then with a new CD and a new guitarist to beef things up!

True, true...

If you book them they will play. Steve wants to go to Europe too.

MikeResist - 1-22-2010 at 04:32 PM

Yeah what Shawn said. I'm currently collecting unemployment so I have all the time in the world to do this. If I got to play in Europe I'd shit a brick. Man that'd be cool.

mike_ - 1-22-2010 at 04:39 PM

You guys should look for some contacts in Europe, like hc/punk booking agencies or reliable people who can hook you up with some shows.

If you find someone like that, someone who can start things running, let me know, I'm interested in having you in Poland.

Yeah, that'd be cool, I've never been to Europe. I've been to a few places in the US but, even just to visit Europe would be great.

I think we are going to try for some West Coast dates in the summer, hopefully that will happen.
