Split tapes

Reblog from the castigated records blog:

Half the split tapes (100 units) are ready and on their way to aus as I type this and will be available very soon.
In the mean time you can hear one of the SHACKLƩS songs on their band page on  (fucking) Facebook and you can listen to WORNXOUT'S tracks here http://wornxout.bandcamp.com 
If you don't like tapes don't fear because there is 400 7"s on the way
 (250 of which will be coming to aus)

New shit/update

We have 2 new eps coming out in the next few months. The songs we recorded in September have been sent to will killingsworth at dead air studios for mixing, they're going to be released on a one sided S/T lp on Arrest Records. The songs recorded in October are now being mastered and will be coming out on a 7" entitled 'Disposed Of' via Adam Coyill 's  Urban Rage records. As far as shows go we only have a few booked but plan to be going Melbourne again in late feb.. More on that soon

Update (castigated records /split with wornxout)

This is a repos from the castigated records blog:


Castigated 01( Shackxs/wornxout split ) was meant to be out by now but a few set backs took place that has held stuff up (the tapes came with the stickers on the wrong sides and the wornxout guys have had to re do them).
Previously I stated there would only be 100 tapes but as it turns out there is actually gonna be 200 (100 coming to aus) so they won't be too scarce. The records have been ordered also and will be hopefully arriving not long after the tapes..
Shacklxs will hopefully have the tapes at their next show on the 8th of January with needles (us), 
Black deity and the fevered
More info soon..

October wrap up

On Thursday Stookes-who's been drumming for  us the last month -went back home to Perth after a month of jamming and playing shows with us. In the time he was here we wrote and recorded 5 songs with chris brownbill at sun distortion in Brisbane. Even though we recorded only last month these new songs have a way different flavour to the stuff we did with Ben afew weeks back, same band of coarse just an altered approach . The new songs have similarities to the last songs we recorded with Stookes which were waiting on to arrive in tactile form (the split tape and record will hopefully be available by the time the year is out). As already stated below we have 2 newish releases out-the drawn and quartered 4x split 7 which is still available but in dwindling numbers and the ' dissolve to nothing' 7 which is also still available, if you've already got a copy of it in grey you will have noticed it comes with a red alternate cover-these are limited to 100 and are exclusive to the grey limited pressing. out of laziness I Havnt been able to properly update the discography section of this blog but ill have it all up to date soon. 

As I touched on above the worn out split is almost ready. Test tape just needs to be approved and the tapes will be a ready to go. The 7 artwork is just getting the final thumbs up and it will also be available soon.

As far as the new recordings we're still second on formats and who'll put em out. The stuff recorded in August may benefit from release on an lp but that is only a possibility at this point( both recordings still need to be mixed and mastered). In the mean time here's the shows we have lined up for the next month with Ben behind the drums again.

9th NOVEMBER- @crowbar brisbane (in the valley) W/ LAST CHAOS,WAR TRAUMA, IDYLLS,HEROIN SS. Doors around 8

Records etc

The new records are now available (the 4x split drawn and quartered was released and started shipping 28th September and dissolve to nothing 7 release was released yesterday (12 or October)  at our Brisbane show with black coffee, survival and outright.) and will be available at all upcoming shows.

sizeable update.

Lots of happenings of late- last night (24th sept) we finished recording another batch of songs (6 to be exact), it will be a while until they surface and the format they're to be released as is still up in the air buts bets are it will probably be as a 7, this was the first time recording with Ben and probably the most happy we have been with what weve done. The next release in the canon is a compilation entitled 'drawn and quartered' which Arrest Records is putting out, it features 6 tracks from our mates in downpour alongside 2 bands from the states and yours truely, it should be available by mid september in a pressing of 300 (100 orange 200 black). Arrest is also putting out our last ep 'Dissolve to Nothing' as a 7 inch which should be available come november (the tape is sold out), it will also be limited to 300. Also available in the next month is our split with Chicago's Worn Out, a home dubb of 40 units(dubbed and released for their september tour 12th-18th) is already available from the worn out guys. A wider press of 100 pro dubbed tapes (50 will be made available in oz) is on its way which will be released on our own label Castigated (blog up soon) which should be available in the next few weeks and soon after be followed by the 7 inch release of the split of 400 also on Castigated (250 units will be coming to oz)..
also at the shows coming up in the next month we'll have stookes drumming like we did for the west aus shows so we will be mixing up the set list a bit. We also plan to hopefully record more songs with him if the opportunity presents itself.
here's the next fews shows we have coming and the art work for the upcomings releases. The next show after the 2 on the below flier is Edge Day which is happening on the 19th Oct at the waiting room in Brisbane. I think Allan is doing tickets for it.

Arrest compilation: 'drawn and quartered' 4X split.

SHACKLΣS/WORN OUT SPLIT (CASTIGATED RECORDS):

west oz/ new songs

Just a belated re-cap, the west aus trip was beyond great. We were lucky enough to have the honor of playing with suffer one last time before their break-up (one of our favourite bands and influences) and make new friends as well as spend time with old ones, a gigantic thankyou to NEGATIVE REINFORCEMENT for being th greatest.. Additionally we recorded 4 new songs at al smiths bergerk studio with stookes on drums. It looks like the tracks will be going on a split 7" we're be doing with our friends in WORN OUT from chicago (hear them here http://wornxout.bandcamp.com/album/demo-2011). Heaps of shows coming up and were writting more stuff with ben for a new 7 due out whenever its ready. In the meantime the arrest four way split comp is being prepared and should be ready in the next month. We will keep you posted.

upcoming shows

heres stuff that coming up in august!

also the west aus all ages is confirmed and will be At Dream studios, 369 Oxford Street Mt Hawthorn. Ben is busy with uni so our buddy and new auxillary drummer stookes will be playing,we  may record some new songs over there with him also.

were gonna be covering easy answers by think i care at upcoming shows.

update and shit.

so it looks like the new songs are getting dived into a new ep entitled "dissolve to nothing" (coming out on delayed response tapes) and a possible 4 way split 7 with some friends on arrest records, more announced soon. As far as show weve played 2 since eddies departure and ben our newest member has been the sole reason weve been able to find our feet again. weve begun writing new material with him also which were very excited about.

Recordings finally finished.

After getting the bulk of the the stuff finished last month, I finally re-did my vocal tracks for our 8 new songs yesterday (18th/feb)after being too sick last time. If all is to go to plan it should be mixed by the end of next week when I should have a better idea of our plans for the songs release.

upcoming show

Status update/drummer situation

It's been a while since the last up date on here due to laziness and not having enough stuff set in stone to report. To give a brief run down of the last few weeks I'll start with the news our drummer Eddie has moved and won't be an active member of shackles which is a shame as he has been a major driving force and just a great human to be around aswell as a long time friend who were gonna miss, fortunately his last show was a cracker and it exceeded our expectations especially considering the circumstances(thanks to I exist, civil war and acid snake for playing with us as well as nick Lucas for putting on solid shows). As far as the new tracks we recorded before eddies departure they just need vocal tracks to be done and then will hopefully be taking tangible form very soon. Expect a rawer onslaught than that on 'maunder'. As far as drummers go we have been very lucky an had some friends put up their hands to be a part of the band on the live front and the writing front so we don't plan to slow down to much at all and will keep refining what we do and spewing more Songs out. Stay tuned

heres some some phots from the show on the 12th
