Paint It Black is excited to announce the title and showcase the artwork for their upcoming Bridge Nine release.  This 7” EP, titled Amnesia, hits stores on June 16th and was recorded by Kurt Ballou of God City studios.  If there's one thing about Paint It Black, it's that they're not only consistent but they keep finding ways to reinvent themselves in the framework of "hardcore"-and Amnesia is no different. At one moment, uncomfortable and angry, the next minute cathartic and energetic, and closing with "Bliss"-the song described by frontman Dan Yemin as "sounding like Fugazi having a three-way with Jawbreaker and Nirvana." We couldn't agree more-except we'd like to add that the Pixies were probably photographing the three way (you'll know when you hear it).

Amnesia's artwork was a joint collaboration between designer Clint Woodside (New Lexicon) and photographer Shawn Brackbill (Q and Not U, Pissed Jeans) and you can check out the stunning artwork here . 

In celebration of Amnesia's release, Paint It Black will be playing a string of record release shows with their sort-of label mates, Ceremony and Crime In Stereo – check out tour dates below.
