Hello, Hopefully your summer has been treating you well. Things at the Lovitt office have been extremely busy and we have a lot of exciting news for you! The Engine Down DVD entitled Beginning to End is now available for pre-order on the website! The official release date is at the end of July but we will start shipping pre-orders the middle of next week and those ordering early will get $2 off. The DVD has over three hours of content including: a documentary shot on the band's last tour, the entire last show, rare and unreleased tracks, the band's home movies, music videos, a photo gallery, and much more! The DVD is packaged in a beautiful DVD digipak printed on 100% recycled board and with a 100% recycled plastic tray. We have posted trailers of the DVD under the media section of the website so check them out. Pygmy Lush, whose members have cut their teeth in some of Northern Virginia's most influential hardcore bands of the last decade including Pg.99, Majority Rule, Malady, City of Caterpillar and Crestfallen, return with their much anticipated second full-length, Mount Hope. The record was recorded at Godcity by Kurt Ballou and is 12 tracks (10 on the LP) of their quieter songs. You can check out some of the songs on our website or the band's myspace page. Like the Engine Down DVD, the official release date is at the end of July but we will also start shipping pre-orders the middle of next week.

The LP version which comes in two colors (red or clear) is a split release between Lovitt and adagio830 in Germany. If you live in Europe, please order the LP from adagio830.. We are excited to announce that we will be releasing the Auxes full length, Sunshine, in late summer. Auxes is the new project of Dave Laney, guitarist and creative force behind NC/Chicago bands Milemarker and Challenger.
