October 3rd, I Need You Here Now.

[Drew Beringer]

Below, you can read a lengthy update about what Spitalfield (http://www.spitalfield.net) has been up to these days.
Hey friends-- long time no update. Since there is a lot to cover, I'll get straight to it. No time for romance. Wait, there is always time for a little romance. Anyways...

STUDIO! We are in the studio now recording our upcoming full length, scheduled for an October 3rd, 2006 release through Victory Records. We are extremely excited about the new material and can't for everyone to hear some of it! We plan on posting a demo on our myspace & purevolume sometime soon. Stay tuned.

LOCAL SHOW! We are playing a hometown show on May 28th in Addison, IL. Tickets went on sale last week, and the room holds 700. Tickets are going quickly- so don't wait too long to get yours. Our myspace page (myspace.com/spitalfield) has a link to buy advance tickets online, they are $10 each, and the service fee is tiny. Playing is: The Felix Culpa, The Skyriter & Villains of Verona. Also-- we will be playing a new song at the show!

WARPED TOUR! We are very excited to say that we will be on 24 dates of this years VANS WARPED TOUR. We will be on the following legs: June 16 - 30 & August 1 - 11. All ticket info can be found at warpedtour.com

JULY HEADLINING TOUR! Since we aren't on the West Coast portion of Warped Tour, we've decided to hit the West Coast headlining instead. A handful of dates are already posted, announced as they come in- so check back often. Our support will be: June, Cute Is What We Aim For, Lydia (select dates) & Valencia (select dates). It's going to be awesome.

*Whew* That was a lot. Hope everyone is doing well, and thanks for reading if you've made it this far!!!

Spitalfield is great, I can't wait to hear the new stuff.

[eskaparate]

i love this band. i want it now.

[DecemberFaded]

too bad "stop doing bad things" was released after "remember right now"...

a real letdown.

hopefully this new album is much better.

[resUrectMe617]

been listening to remember right now a lot lately. underrated band for sure.

i thought like that for a first listen, but after a few another i totally changed my opinion, it's as good as the old one for me

can't wait for new demo :-)

[Sureshot182]

yes!

[thejetstolehome]

can't wait to see them on warped but i wished i lived on the west coast for those shows.

[mybreakingpoint]

this will be my album of the year.

Stop Doing Bad Things is one of my favorite CD's ever.
i've loved every release they've had.

[hubbabubbal3ts]

i'm really excited about the new cd and hopefully getting to see them this summer. i like stop doing bad things a lot, but remember right now is a little better in my opinion.

[zizou1790]

shuold be another good album this year

[DecemberFaded]

Sdbt > Rrn
you've got to be kidding.

i know everyone is entitled to their opinions but in terms of the quality of RRN [lyrics, mixing, production, etc.] SDBT is a step down.

sure, there are a few solid melodies but it just seems like the band wasn't that focused - it seemed like they just rushed everything.

[bigfoot316]

most underrated band in my opinion, but i must say that SDBT wasn't as good as RRN, but i will say that both album deserve more recogniziton then they got. can't wait to see them on warped and can't wait for the demo's

Haha. You're wrong. RRN was pure power pop. Catchy sugary pop with cheesy lyrics. The songs, structure and quality is a lot better on Stop Doing Bad Things. The production of the album fit the sound of the band perfectly. Also, the lyrics are a lot better. It most certainly was not a step down. Not catering to the lowest denominator (RRN) and actually making a solid album musically (SDBT) is not taking a step down.

[baton]

i wouldn't say it's a step down too, we'll see how new songs will sound, i can't tell anything about new album, and there's new TJ on bass, don't know, will this be close to last one, or totally different

[thesiz]

i cant wait to not listen to this cd.

[oldwirehands]

I'd love for them to leave Victory. I feel dirty buying their albums. I want my money to go to the band but I don't want to contribute to Victory. I'm not saying I only download their stuff, I'm saying it was painful when I did.

[ryheeles]

good job not playing any shows near me, Spitalfield

[truestar1015]

I can't wait to see them on Warped and to hear the new stuff. I'm excited!

[indie_ira]

Sdbt > Rrn

i agree 100%.........

[HiddenInNJ]

too bad "stop doing bad things" was released after "remember right now"...

a real letdown.

hopefully this new album is much better.

sdbt isnt as good as remember right now but its a good cd.... i have faith in this one they always put out good stuff

[onautolux]

Yeah the new one is just as good as the old one. The Texas is the reaon influence really shines.

[Save my day]

Now all they need to do is escape Victory.

[astereo]

Can't wait, I spent all last summer listening to that album, and im pumped for a new release
Hopefully they can get a new demo out within the next month or two.

i definantly agree with you here. i don't mind supporting spitalfield at all, but victory...ughhhhhhhhhhhh.

I think the opening stretch of songs, especially "Texa$ with a Dollar Sign", are amazing. This CD came out either on the same day or around the same time as The Everglow by Mae and I was listening to Stop Doing Bad Things so much at the time that I'm just now starting to fully appreciate the Everglow which many people, myself included, think was one of the better albums of last year.

[DivisionStreet]

Is TJ back in the band? Did I miss that?

[dontgrabtindy]

warped tour date and a new album fuck yes

[JohnnyG]

such an amazing band

[Downtown37]

So much to be excited about!

SDBT > RRN in my opinion-- but both are great records for different reasons. Really no need to compare.

[baton]

Is TJ back in the band? Did I miss that?

no, just new bass player is called TJ too :-)

[piaffeprncess98]

Yay, they're playing all of my dates on Warped! I love Spitalfield.

[MrBaileySays]

in my opinion, stop doing bad things was a great album. it showed growth and wasn't boring.

[DecemberFaded]

music is largely based on opinion.

i hope spitalfield can create something new - a natural progression.

[baton]

well, their sound changed like 3 times, so who knows, but You can hear some big influences on every cd they make :-)
