Bloodjinn Post New Video Online
LISTENABLE RECORDS issue the following press release:
BLOODJIN have updated us with a new live video on youtube, "Break The Silence" filmed by Series DVD and Kotk Productions on December 9th, 2007 at Greene Street Club in Greensboro, NC.
Vocalist Joel Collins explains the meaning of the album title:
"Bloodjinn means to hit with heavy force, just as the original spelling and meaning. "This Machine Runs On Empty" is basically saying that we have been a band for 9 years and through constant strife in the industry, we've continued to never give up our dream. The "machine", meaning Bloodjinn, has ran on empty for so long with the lack of help, that we are back stronger than ever and ready to take this world by storm. We put so much of our personal and daily lives into this band. We have ruined relationships, lost jobs and lived like we're punk rock just working non-stop around the clock trying to reach our music out to as many people as we can. "
BLOODJINN's new album "This Machine Runs on Empty" is to be released on LISTENABLE on February 4th, 2008 More...

Hellfest Announce More Bands, Zero Tolerance
Hellfest 2005 has announced more bands and their zero tolerance policy along with upgraded security this year. Here's the announcement about the secutity and zero tolerance policy:
"For the past eight years Hellfest has maintained an almost spotless safety record—less a very minor setback last year. This year, Hellfest has made the decision to make adjustments to our safety policy. This year’s motto—ZERO TOLERENCE. Hellfest takes our fans safety as a serious matter. The bands support it, so should you. We've all heard the speech from the pit, you know, the one found in almost all bands hardcore handbook that starts like this—"We're all family here. If someone falls down, you pick them up." We live by that, but we are very aware that not everyone is always 100% willing to cooperate. We're not naive and we know you aren't either."
"In the past Hellfest has had the t-shirt enforced security on site to ensure everyone’s safety, this year we've upped the anty. We understand with the growing numbers and popularity of Hellfest, our security needed an upgrade. This year we've not only welcomed back our faithful t-shirt security to enforce safety on and around all stage areas, but we’ve enlisted armed security and police officers stationed at all other locations, available within arms reach in case of an emergency. The increased security isn't to ruin anyone's fun, but to keep the hardcore scene about things the scene was built on: music, ethics, DIY attitude and the family mentality. Hellfest fans are on the top of our list. We want the best bands, skateboarders, tattoo artists, merchandise, catering and above all else, the best security. In case there’s any confusion on our definition of ZERO TOLERENCE, we offer you an easy to understand list of consequences. The first incident of disorderly conduct will result in the ejection of all parties involved, arrests will be made and you will receive a fine up to a possible $1000. The Sovereign Bank Arena has welcomed Hellfest with open arms, let’s show them the utmost respect from the hardcore scene. Jail is one place the Hellfest and Sovereign Bank Arena staffs don’t want to see you on the weekend of Hellfest. Whether you purchased a three-day pass or a one day ticket, we don't want any unnecessary incidents happening what cause anyone to miss the most talked about festival of the summer."
One day tickets are also on sale now. From July 27 to August 3, a very limited number of single day passes will be available for a reduced rate. A very limited number of $99.99 3-day passes are still available ($20 less than any other tickets for Hellfest) as well.
