Canadian promoter Sellout Enterprises has announced that groundbreaking post-hardcore act Grade will be reuniting for one show only July 21 at the Opera House in Toronto. The band, led by vocalist Kyle Bishop, broke up in 2002 and formed Somehow Hollow, the Black Maria and others. The lineup for the show will feature the band's Under The Radar lineup, which is made up of Bishop, Greg Taylor, Matt Jones, Shawn Magill and Chris Danner. For more details, head to sellout.ca.

There is no word on whether or not the reunion will be permanent; currently, it is presumed to be one show only.

Slowride post new music video, tour dates with Park

Alternative Press - Scott Heisel on 5/16/06 @ 1:06 PM - altpress.com

Deep Elm band Slowride have completed the video for "Morals And Dogma," one of 12 tracks off their new album, C/S. The label had this to say about the video:

"Directed by Kris Youmans for Tactics Productions and edited by Justin Wilson for Charlie Uniform Tango, the video features world renowned tattoo artist Oliver Peck (he's sporting the mustache) who runs Elm Street Tattoo with his partner Dean Williams in the band's hometown of Dallas, TX. Oliver has made several appearances on the reality TV show Miami Ink, which stars his wife Kat Von D. Part of the video was shot inside The Webb Gallery in Waxahachie, TX, which collects unusual creations from self-taught artists in an attempt to document their stories. The gallery also features art from SLOWRIDE vocalist Dan Phillips. As for the skeleton in the casket...it's REAL."
