TEXAS IN JULY and AN EARLY ENDING Tour Accident

On Friday July 10th, CI Records’ artists Texas In July and An Early Ending were involved in a major accident while traveling to perform in Springfield, MO on a tour stop. The van containing both bands and their tour manager was struck when a driver crossed the center line with her vehicle, after allegedly suffering a fatal heart attack, thus initiating the accident.

All the passengers suffered differing levels of injury, some minor but manageable, while others were airlifted to a hospital 55 miles away. Miraculously, the only fatality in the accident was the driver of the vehicle that initiated the accident. However, three members of An Early Ending and the tour manager for both bands remain hospitalized.

While full recoveries are expected, the physical and emotional trauma experienced by all involved is extensive, and we ask for everyone’s thoughts and prayers for all involved and their families in this difficult time.

Anyone wishing to make a donation to help out with medical costs, travel expenses for family members needing to travel, or replacing valuable personal effects lost in the accident may do so by PayPal: aeetijdonations@gmail.com

The members of Texas in July and some members of an Early Ending will be returning home in the next day or two. Those that remain hospitalized are in the loving companionship of family, and the extraordinary care of the St. John's hospital in Springfield, MO.

Thank you, from the families of both bands.

CIRCUS CIRCUS "Brooklyn Nightlife" Named One of 2008's Lasting Albums By Rockfreaks

Rock Freaks describes the year-end feature as a list of "records that each writer thinks they will take with them from 2008 to carry on them for the rest of their lives, or in other words, albums that made the biggest impact on each writer... These are albums that anyone serious about music should own regardless of their normal genre affiliation, as they represent the 'impact' albums as chosen by each of our writers - as you know, great music exists in all genres, you just have to be able to find it."

Regarding Brooklyn Nightlife, they had this to say:
"While Circus Circus may not be the band that picked up the most hype or the biggest headlines in 08, they sure as fuck blew my mind, and if you give "Brooklyn Nightlife" a chance, they should blow yours too. The debut album is as raw and untamed melody as guitars can produce, delivered with the energy of a fusion plant and the passion and energy only the truest of punk rock bands can deliver. Sure it's hard to make out the screamed lyrics and sure it's similar stuff for the whole album, but by God I can't remember hearing an album that ever brizzled with energy the way this does. If you want to feel electricity surging through your body, this is the next best thing to being struck by lightning."
