New Streetlight Manifesto delayed 2012-10-23 by big daddy bris. | 26 Comments | Tomas Kalnoky, mastermind behind ska punk band Streetlight Manifesto, has decided to unfortunately delay the release of their latest album, The Hand's That Thieve, and its Toh Kay companion album to "sometime in January".
Quote:
So, first off, I'd like to apologize to everyone who has been waiting for this record to come out as originally announced, on Nov 6th. I'd normally say "on behalf of everyone in Streetlight" but that'd be misleading. I am entirely and solely at fault for the delay of these records and I take full responsibilty for it. I simply put too much on my plate and lined up too many deadlines and tours, and I just couldn't finish everything in time, between writing, recording, planning and my now notorious but unavoidable tendency to remix, rewrite and, in general, redo everything a few times before it's "just right". We announced the album prematurely and in a rush because of a number of factors that lined up in August, and since then I was unable to meet some critical deadlines in order to get the records handed in in time for a Nov 6th release. As the time continued to tick by, I tried to line up a slightly later release date, but I failed in meeting the deadlines for that date as well. I was waiting to announce the delay until we had a certain, solid release date but that just hasn't happened yet for a number of reasons, so it's time to let the cat out of the bag: We're looking at January of 2013 as of now. As soon as I know anything, we'll be announcing it on our site and to try to make it up to you guys as best we can, all preorders will ship with a special gift, one that will hopefully ease the frustration of the prolonged wait.
In the meantime, we are on tour, playing a number of new songs from the album, and we'll be sharing live versions of the songs soon, as well as (finally) some proper samples from the record(s).
Once again, I humbly and whole heartedly apologize for the delay. I've let down our fans, and I've let down the other members of Streetlight, with my constant remixing, rewriting, starting again from scratch and making promises i end up unable to meet. I am sorry.

The Hands That Thieve will be the band's first album in 5 (possibly soon to be 6 or 7?) years, following 2007's Somewhere In The Between.

If it had come out in November it would have been 5 years exactly
| | |
Damn, that friggin' sucks. Seeing them on Halloween, though. That should make up for it,
| | |
hype train postponed
| | |
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
fucking lol @ anyone who didn't see this coming
classic tomas
| | |
Good.
It'll give me more time to check out their other stuff.
| | |
at least he took full responsibility for the delay and seemed really sincere in his apology for why it is post-pone.
| | |
fml
if it wasn't so depressing I'd be laughing really hard right now
| | |
wah neeeeeee!
| | |
I wonder if I preorder now if I'll get that special gift.
probably not
| | |
hold still
| | |
*kills self*
| | |
There goes my November.
| | |
ah well
| | |
Sucks that it'll take a couple months, but I'd much rather wait a bit for a finished product than get an unfinished one NOW.
| | |
I checked out the site and they have a pretty awesome deal going. for 18$ (22$ and change with shipping) you get the CD, a poster, a SM t-shirt, and possibly the unknown bonus thing. There are other bundles with vinyl/hoodie/toh kay album options, but this one seems pretty great.
| | |
yea
| | |
Goddamn shitty news. But, when it is finally released it will be outstanding, guaranteed.
| | |
It's alright, I have some catching up to do with these guys
| | |
blah
| | |
Sucks, but I'll be seeing them live in November, so that sort of makes up for it.
| | |
Makes me more stoked
| | |
I knew there were way too many good releases this year for it to be true.
| | |

| | |

| | |
