A foot of snow couldn’t derail their February shows, and now that the weather’s a bit better, the time is ripe for Wussy and The Fervor to revisit Pennsylvania and New York. The east-coast four-banger kicks off April 14 at The Smiling Moose on Carson Street in Pittsburgh, then on to The Fire in Philadelphia, the Cake Shop in Manhattan and wrapping up at Spike Hill in Brooklyn. Both bands are hard at work on new albums, and we’ll have more information on those as the months progress.

About 150 copies of The Green Belt limited edition split 7-inch are left, and they’re going fast. In Louisville, you can find them at karatebodyrecords.com, ear X-tacy, Underground Sounds and Shake-It in Cincinnati. Also this spring, The Green Belt will be available for the first time in the U.K. via Code 7 Distribution.
