Win a Test Press of "Blackhearts and Blackouts"!

So, remember a few days ago when we told you about a sweet new band called Break Anchor? Well, if not here's the basics. They're an awesome punk rock band. The members include Jay Navarro (The Suicide Machines & Hellmouth), Kyle Green (Seized Up), Chris Golan (SnakeWing) and Dan Stover (Seized Up). You should like them. If you want more info on why you should like them and if you want to see an interview we did with Jay, click here.  

So, we also told you that Break Anchor recently released a new 7" entitled "Blackhearts and Blackouts".  Well, Paper + Plastick Records is running a contest right now where you can win a Test Press of "Blackhearts and Blackouts"! When we found out about this contest, we decided we had to pass the info along! 

The contest is pretty simple and pretty fun. All of the details are on Paper + Plastick's site, but the general idea is that you have to come up with an awesome caption to the photo below. 

Now remember! This contest is NOT through Hip In Detroit! We just wanted to share it with you! So, don't post captions on here! Unless you really want to. But, you won't win anything for it. 
Instead, head over to Paper + Plastick for all of the details on how to enter! The winner will be picked on Friday! So get on it! Good luck!

Break Anchor, or shall we say...Drunk Anchor?

When it comes to Jay Navarro and music, you can't go wrong. We grew up as HUGE fans of The Suicide Machines, we're big Hellmouth fans and now we can add Jay's newest project, Break Anchor, to the list of bands we love. 

Break Anchor consists of Jay on vocals & guitar, Kyle Green (Seized Up) on guitar & vocals, Chris Golan (SnakeWing) on bass and Dan Stover (Seized Up) on drums. The band hasn't been around very long, but they already just released their first 7" - "Blackhearts and Blackouts" on Paper + Plastick Records. They had their album release show Thursday night at the W.A.B. We were lucky enough to squeeze into the room to see them play!

Rather than us going into details about Break Anchor, what the band is about and what kind of music they play, we will let Jay explain it to you. Sadie got a chance to sit down with him before their set. Here's what he had to say and a couple of clips from the show!

If you are a fan of The Suicide Machines, you definitely need to check Break Anchor out. Even if you aren't a fan of The Suicide Machines, check them out. We would like to thank Jay again for taking the time to sit down with us. 

If you would like to see Break Anchor, their next show is May 11th @ Toepfer House in Warren. Keep an eye on their Facebook for more details. If you want to pick up their 7" you can order it or get a digital download of it here!
