Stretch Arm Strong issue update

Official press release from Stretch Arm Strong singer, Chris McLane: [In the wake of everything happening around the world right now, each of us from SAS would like to send our thoughts and prayers out to the people of Louisiana and the Gulf Coast States who are still dealing with the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. The images and stories we have seen and heard are devastating and hard to imagine. We wish everyone who is personally dealing with this natural disaster a quick and speedy recovery. Ok, first off, maybe some of you are reading this on our new website. If you aren't, be sure to check it out. www.stretcharmstrong.net. We are so psyched on it. Take a minute to get to know the new site, there's a lot to see up there, like... The world premiere of our new video "The Sounds of Names Dropping." It turned out amazing. Our good friend Jonny Rej did a killer job. If you know anyone that needs a quick history lesson on us, just have them check out the vid. Let us know what you think. It'll start making its rounds on the airwaves and other sites soon. 6 days and counting! Our new record "Free At Last" drops this Tuesday, Sept 13, in stores all around the country. For our friends outside the US you can pick up the record through these fine labels: Brazil - 9/13 on Enemy One Records Japan 9/13 on Punk Inya Face Records Korea - 9/13 on Dope Records Australia - 9/19 on Trial And Error Records Europe 10/17 on We Put Out Records To support the release we will be kicking off a 9 day run playing in select cities around the East Coast. All of the shows are in the SHOWS section on our website. Info on the special preorder is up there, too. Most of the dates for the Strung Out tour are in, we are just waiting on a few more to get confirmed and then we will post them up. Thanks for everyone who has been writing in and telling us their thoughts on the new record. Apparently, a lot of you checked out the live stream of the record at Newbury Comics that has been running all week. We are glad you guys wrote in to tell us about it. You can preorder at Newbury or a bunch of other places. All preorders come with a little something special. Check the new site for details. Take care.]
