Wow, we have been neglecting this blog - sorry!  Things were in a bit of a lull for a couple months, and then all kinds of things happened in a big hurry. So here is some updates on what is going on:

------------------------------
------------------------------
 #1 - We've undergone another line-up change. Micah recently relocated to Pittsburgh, PA and has been doing well, but is no longer playing bass with us. He already has been working on starting up bands in Pittsburgh, so I'm sure you'll be hearing from him again soon! While we will miss Micah and all he contributed to Rat Storm, we are also happy to welcome our new bass player Joel Henline. Joel is great and you will all get to hear his bass playing very soon! He has been playing in Bloomington bands for years and is currently playing guitar in Humans and bass in Buttonhoof - both of which I highly suggest checking out.
------------------------------
#2 - We recently played Plan-It X fest here in Bloomington, and it was an amazing experience. We met so many great people from all over the US and beyond and were able to play for the largest crowd any of us have probably ever played for. If you saw us or talked to us there, please feel free to keep in touch.
------------------------------
#3 - Big updates on the online-store! We have added new shirts, buttons, and patches. We also are now totally sold out of the split cassette with Chaotic Neutral. It is scheduled to be pressed on 7" very soon, but has hit a couple delays that will hopefully be cleared up in the next couple weeks and it will be off to the plant to be pressed!
 ------------------------------
#4 I have kicked off a new record label - Reality is a Cult. My first release is the Closet Burner 12", and is being co-released with No I in Punk and IFB records. Feel free to check it out if you are interested.
------------------------------
#5 Finally - SHOWS SHOWS SHOWS! We have lots of upcoming shows:

 July 20th - Harrison House, Ft. Wayne, IN 8pm - w/Republic of Dreams, Shitlist, Parasitic Twins, and Closet Burner

July 21st - Ghost House, Bloomgington, IN 8pm - w/Republic of Dreams, Itch, Canid

July 27th - Snake Pit, Champaign, IL - w/Bailout + more

 July 28th - TBA Bloomington/Normal IL or Peoria IL

August 3rd - International House of Pitting, Indianapolis, IN 8pm - w/Disobey, We Must Dismantle All of This, Boddicker

Ordering stuff

Hey everyone!

We have been a bit quiet, but we are still doing all sorts of stuff!

We just opened an online store at storenvy - you can check it out here.
We did this to make it easier to order stuff from us online. However, if you are interested in anything you don't have to go through the storenvy. We are totally willing to deal with you directly through email (ratstormcrust@gmail.com), snail mail (213 S. Clark St, Bloomington, IN 47408), or the phone (812-6oh6-5one8one).

The new 7inch is also available directly through IFB records, Blackheart Mountain, and Plan-it X - as well as distros all over the world, including Ebullition if you interested in getting it at wholesale prices.

We have been taking it a bit easy on shows due to work and other general business, but we have an upcoming show in Indy and will likely have a few more similar things coming up - so keep an eye out!

TAKE CARE!
