ABRUPT
MY CREMATORIUM
7 INCH EP, 2011, BURNT BRIDGES RECORDS
ABRUPT BEGAN IN 2007 AFTER THE BAY AREA BAND SCURVY DOGS SPLIT UP WHEN THEIR VOCALIST QUIT. THE REMAINING MEMBERS, DRUMMER MIKE (WHO ALSO PLAYED IN CRETACEOUS, THE PHANTOM LIMBS, AND THE GODS), SAM (GUITAR AND BACKING VOCALS, ALSO FROM THE BAND DESOLATION), AND BASSIST WYATT (OF BORN/DEAD AND CHEMICAL IMBALANCE), RECRUITED HEATHER (FROM THE BAND MACHINE'S AGENDA, WHO HAD JUST RECENTLY RELOCATED TO THE BAY AREA) ON VOCALS. THEY PLAYED THEIR DEBUT SHOW IN 2007 ON SAINT PATRICK'S DAY. ABRUPT RECORDED NINE TRACKS AT EARHAMMER STUDIOS WITH THE HELP OF GREG WILKENSON, WHICH WAS RELEASED ON 12 INCH VINYL AND CD AS THEIR SELF-TITLED DEBUT. IN MARCH, 2009, THEY TOURED THE WEST COAST, FOLLOWED BY A EUROPEAN TOUR IN SEPTEMBER THAT WAS INTERRUPTED WHEN GUITARIST SAM HAD AN APPENDIX PROBLEM. THE BAND COMPLETED ANOTHER TWO WEEK TOUR IN MEXICO ALONG WITH AN ADDITIONAL SIX WEEK EUROPEAN TOUR. EVENTUALLY THEY RELEASED THIS 7 INCH EP, "MY CREMATORIUM," ON BURNT BRIDGES RECORDS, WHICH WAS RECORDED IN 2009 AT LENNON STUDIOS IN SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA, BY JEF LEPPARD (RIP) AND MASTERED BY DAN RANDALL AT MAMMOTH SOUND. PHYSICAL COPIES ARE AVAILABLE THROUGH VARIOUS DISTRIBUTORS SUCH AS NOTHING NEW RECORDS IN NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE.
