Give us an offer on our vast selection of pussy, this is a pussy blow out! All right, we got white pussy, and most importantly we got Black Pussy. Can't wait to hit the road with these dudes. Smoke em', drink em' and shake em'!"
Harris continues, "We only respect bands that work hard and get by on true talent and integrity, Scattered Hamlet have been friends of ours for a long time and we finally got to a level to bring them out. These guys have been doing it right and for a long time and they're also rad as a mother fucker. This one will go down in history. Defend good times for life." More...

Gypsyhawk Announces Record Release Show
Pasadena, CA's Gypsyhawk will be celebrating the release of the "Reverly & Resilience" album with an in-store performance at Vacation Vinyl in Los Angeles, CA.

Additionally, "The Great Food Truck Race"-winning Grill 'Em All truck will be serving metal themed burgers before the show from 6:00pm-8:00pm. The following press release was also issued by Metal Blade:
"Revisiting the electrifying sounds of bullshit-free 70s rock, Gypsyhawk are a breath of fresh air compared to the endless onslaught of breakdown obsessed bands cluttering up heavy music. Marinating their wares in whiskey and weed, they hurl out blistering riffs and irresistible hooks and grooves, doing their damnedest to ensure that everyone at their shows is having as much fun as they are. With Revelry & Resilience, their second full-length and Metal Blade debut, this vibe bleeds from the speakers from start to finish, determinedly putting a smile on your face and compelling you to throw your hair around, no matter how much or how little you might have."
"It's music for girls to shake their asses to and dudes to bang their heads," states vocalist/bassist Eric Harris. "It's good-time rock and roll, and we don't take ourselves too seriously, but at the same time we're not one-dimensional 'yeah-dude-let's-party-all-the-fucking-time!' guys, and I like to think there's something for everyone in our music."
"Reverly & Resilience" will be in stores on August 28th, 2012. Gypsyhawk will be performing as part of the Mayhem Festival Cruise alongside Lamb of God, Anthrax, Machine Head, Hatebreed, and label mates Battlecross, plus many more from December 7th - December 10th.
