Philly’s finest hardcore revivalists Paint It Black have divulged some details on their upcoming record release shows.  The shows will take place on January 5 and 6th at the First Unitarian Church in Philadelphia. Both shows are jam packed with awesome bands, including The Hope Conspiracy, World/Inferno Friendship Society, Dustheads, and Crime In Stereo, among others.

Why is the band throwing the party a good month before The New Lexicon ( Jade Tree) hits the streets? The boys provided some insight into that.

Read on after the jump for the explanation and a full show lineup.

” So, we decided to get the jump on all that and hold our release shows well before any of that, and to further throw a wrench into the gears of the concept of the “punk rock music industry”, decided it would be fun to simply GIVE the CD away to everyone who came to one of the shows. Everyone who comes to Saturday’s show will get it. Free! We’ve also always toyed with the idea of a “gig only” single, and since we’ve never released a 7″, decided to press the one song leftover from the “New Lexicon” recording sessions — “Goliath” — onto a one-sided 7″ with a screened b-side. Everyone who comes to Sunday’s show will get it. Free! This particular record is resolutely “gig only”, and will only be available at this show — if there’s any left, we’re destroying them at the end of the show. Not joking.”
