BOTAR News! Rejoice!

New (sort of...) Bandits of the Acoustic Revolution news!

"Ok, technically it's not a new original record, but here it is: A few years ago, when BOTAR (Bandits of the Acoustic Revolution) released it's first (and so far only) record, there was a mention in the liner notes of a large project called "99 Songs of Revolution". This is a collection of 99 cover songs, spanning all kinds of genres, all kinds of artists. Now, a few years later, it's all going down. And here are the details. Some of them, at least.

The 99 Songs of Revolution Project will consist of 8 full length records. Two from SM, two from BOTAR, and two each from two other SM related groups. Yes, this is indeed the record that Victory mistakingly posted as coming out in Oct of 08. Not sure how they got that date, but it was never even a possibility. The first SM record for 99SOR will be out in early 2009, simultaneously with another of the 8 CDs (no, not the BOTAR one). Victory will be putting out the CDs and mp3s and Pentimento will be releasing and distributing the vinyl. We are aware of our reputation to take forever to release records and miss our self imposed deadlines, so we are not giving anyone solid dates, not even our labels. Early 09 release, that's it. We are, though, working hard on it. The demos are all but done and we head into the studio to begin tracking in October. Our upcoming tour schedule, as you know, is borderline impossible/insane, so cut us some slack.

This will be a nice way for us to get into the studio and put out some "new" music as well as tide you guys over until our next full length. It's been a project that's been on the back burner for too long, and it's time to do something about it. Stay tuned to this site as well as the Pentimento site for more info over the coming weeks. Also make sure to keep peeking in on our other sites, as we're in the middle of working on a few projects that have been dormant for way too long."

As awesome as this sounds. What I'm getting from this is Thomas isn't going to be writing any new material until all of these are released. God, this is like waiting for Somewhere In The Between all over again.

So basically..no NEW material from SM or BOTAR until around 2012, if we're lucky.

these Tom and co. are real fucking ballbusters when it comes to releasing album. I don't even bother reading when it will come out because 99% of the time it's wrong

WOW! This is quite a project! I'm excited about it, though I also would of liked the "big news" to be a new BOTAR album with original songs.

Early 09?

Yeah, early 3009 is correct.

Either way, I think that Streetlight should cover "War" by System of a Down. I called it like a year ago, and given this whole project now, I think it would be pretty excellent
