As apparent fallout to whatever the hell caused The Chisel to cancel their US tour (including their Riot Fest and Louder Than Life appearances), the High Vis show at Mag Bar this coming weekend is cancelled. If you got tickets before it quickly sold out, you should have a text or email from DICE today regarding refunds. High Vis is still playing Louder Than Life and continuing on with their current tour, jump the fence in the back by the highway and check them out.

….In 2020 my band PRIME broke up. After our last song came out I decided not to sing in hardcore bands anymore. I felt tapped out on singing about world problems so I felt like I didnt have anything to talk about.
Last year I demoed out 2 songs at Chris’ house about just simply about going to work.
This band is just about me inwardly reflecting. These songs are about going to work,working out, and just trying to become a more disciplined person.
By and large the world is fucked, basic needs is about taking care of myself and the people closest to me and allowing the world to do what it’s going to do. …
Check it out on Bandcamp now or keep an eye on LDB Records for the physical release info
I can’t say it better than Ryan Patterson (from Instagram):
Our first album was released on Level-Plane in June 2004 and reissued by Deathwish in 2014. It marked the beginning of our journey and holds a special place in our history and hearts. Unfortunately, the drums were buried in the original mix and the album didn’t quite portray an accurate representation of Coliseum at that time. Now, twenty years after its original release, I have remixed the album in the hopes of shining a light on the entire band, particularly our original drummer, my cousin Matt Jaha, who passed away in April 2020. Now that Coliseum is back after a nearly nine-year hiatus, it’s even more poignant and important to give this special album a new 20th anniversary remix, remaster, and reissue. It will again feature John Dyer Baizley’s wonderful interpretation of the original cover art. Huge thanks for Dan and Equal Vision Records for their support and hard work on this project. It will be released on Nov. 21, 2024. We are also overjoyed to announce our return to Europe! In the short time we have available, we will be coming to select cities in Europe, Scandinavia, and the UK in Nov./Dec. Massive love to Alex and Swamp Booking for encouraging us to make this tour happen.
But first, see you in Chicago on Sat., Sep. 14!
