Ten years since their last album The Mark Of Cain are back with new single ‘Barkhammer’ from the soon to be released album ‘Songs of the Third & Fifth’.
Triple J’s Home & Hosed programme debuted ‘Barkhammer’ on national airwaves last night and the single will be available for free from The Mark Of Cain’s website for one day only on Monday 5th December.
Sorry guys, been busy and have been neglecting you lately I know…..also copped some shite from someone I used to respect regarding stubb which made me question the future of the site briefly.
Anyway, have been posting news to twitter though so if you don’t follow stubb yet, please do.
Thought I would post a quick round up of what has been happening lately:
via theholyfilament, who’s that with Vincent & Mr Green?
via PattonArchivo, Stanier is back working with Duane, will we see a new Tomahawk this year (and who’s on bass)?
via stubber “Timb”, a huge new Trevor Dunn interview at invisible oranges. A must read.
via postyMcP, a new Book of Knots album, Garden of Fainting Stars, and it’s on Ipecac!
via WanderLusting and Gadfly, a great live review of the Pivixki/Patton and Bill Gould’s “The Talking Book” show.
Trey announces on facebook a whole stack of new Secret Chiefs 3 tour dates along with the tip that there will be an extensive U.S tour with dates to be announced shortly.
Billy Gould releases “The Talking Book” (more to come on that soon).
A new one from Stanier’s Battles, Gloss Drop, out in June.
A huge newsletter from Carla Kihlstedt including news on a new Tin Hat album!
Think that’s most things for now. Hope everyone is doing well 
The Mark of Cain are entering the studio this month for the first time since 2001 to record a new album. The album will be released independently after the band split from BMG in 2004.
The band consists of John Scott (Guitar/Vox), Kim Scott (Bass) and John Stanier (drums – Tomahawk, Battles, ex-Helmet). Their style is unique but can be likened to Helmet and they are well known in Australia for putting on a brutal live show. The band has been absent from the Australian music scene due to Stanier’s hectic schedule and John and Kim both having families and careers.
