North Carolina's BRAVEYOUNG has issued the following update: "Our second full U.S. tour has come to a close, and a North Carolina spring welcomed us back. An enormous thank you to all the people and bands who helped us and played with us. We met a lot of incredible people, as always, and the west coast was more fun than ever. Europe is next, and we ship out on the 28th for four weeks of new places, people, and things. All of us are entirely excited. "On another exciting note, the two-song, 28-minute 12" entitled 'Bloom' has officially been released via The End Records. 'Bloom' was recorded at a church here in Greensboro, and is much more representative of the direction we have been headed for quite some time now. Of course, there's no way to know that unless you have seen us live, but the endless fucking hangups with the full-length have caused a serious gap in our released material and newer pieces. It sounds very open and live, and we are incredibly excited just to have something tangible that can show where our heads are musically. All of the artwork was done by us, and it is going to be a very limited release. 500 were pressed, and we plan on keeping it that way. "Also, we have a show coming up here in NC before we leave for Europe. Considering we get in a plane crash or something even more interesting happens (death by ropeswing, death by pizza) this could be our last show as the undead. Ever. More info on that on our page. See you soon, world."
