THE DISTANCE Sign With ABACUS RECORDINGS

November 7, 2005

Connecticut-based hardcore act THE DISTANCE have inked a deal with Abacus Recordings.

THE DISTANCE is a four-piece whose tireless hard work and dedication, with their do-it-yourself ethic, has been making waves in all facets of the hardcore underground scene. This can be seen in their prolific nature featuring an EP with Bridge 9 Records, a three-way split with OUTBREAK and SOME KIND OF HATE, a split CD with WITH HONOR, and most recently a discography of all their vinyl works, including two new songs, for Think Fast! Records. Round everything out by having the band play high profile festivals and national tours with acts like COMEBACK KID and WITH HONOR and you have a band whose demand for a full-length couldn’t be greater.

Come this January, the band with enter the studio to record their debut full-length with Shep Goodman (HEAD AUTOMATICA, BAYSIDE, MANDY MOORE),entitled "The Rise, the Fall, and Everything in Between".

"This year has been really hard for certain members, and the title is based on being at a total high in your life and everything that leads to the downfall," says bassist John Dobyns.

"We chose to work with Shep Goodman because he really understands what we want to do with this record and can help us attain it."
The record is tentatively slated to be released late spring/early summer on Abacus, with much touring to come.

"It is wonderful to be working with a label that is as excited about us as we are of them," says Dobyns. "Abacus shares our vision for upcoming endeavors and it is an honor to be associated with a label that has such an impressive roster."

In the meantime, the band will be on tour with MOST PRECIOUS BLOOD, WITH HONOR and MODERN LIFE IS WAR for three weeks starting at the end of November.
