> ETID announce ‘The Big Dirty’

> “Unless you’re a sorority girl, you’re probably not accustomed to
> dudes telling you that something called “the big dirty” is about to
> invade your personal space. Well we here at Every Time I Die are
> doing just that, so open your holes wide. Your EAR holes. This
> August, Ferret Music will release what can only be described as
> “Every Time I Die’s newest album” known as “The Big Dirty”.
> Chock-a-block with riffs that only 4 months of a Buffalo, New York
> winter could spawn, this new record will undoubtedly satisfy those
> that have followed the band since their first full length release
> “Last Night In Town” all the way through “Gutter Phenomenon”. And
> if you
> were one of the 38 confused men who strayed somewhere along that
> interim, we welcome you back with open arms. You want ironically
> distasteful rock and roll pretenses? You got em. You want riffs so
> filthy they should have a moustache and wear elastic work out pants
> when they go out to eat at the Olive Garden? Right here, boys. You
> want mosh parts so brutal it could star opposite Charles Bronson in
> ANY of the Death Wish movies? Come get some.
> Produced by Steve Evetts, The Big Dirty is the CD you would compile
> if asked to make a mix of the BEST Every Time I Die songs you haven’t
> heard yet. Ten plus tracks that tore from our filthy hands like the
> creature that jumped out of that dudes stomach in Alien. If this
> ain’t your favorite heavy release of the year, I’ll eat my damn hat.
> Look for us on Sounds Of The Underground this summer with Chimaira
> and GWAR. And if you’re in Australia, firstly “G’day Mate!” and
> secondly get your ass ready for us and Norma Jean in early June.
