THE RED CHORD checks in from the road!

"We just finished our run of the Persistence Tour dates in Europe. Thanks to our friends MAD Tour Booking and in Hatebreed, Born from Pain, Full Blown Chaos, Agnostic Front and Bleed the Sky for being awesome to us and showing us such a great time.

Just so everyone knows, touring alongside Hatebreed with no merch is a bad idea. Basically, we tried to support the American economy by producing our merchandise in the states and shipping them overseas prior to our tour. The German customs at Frankfurt and then the customs at Amsterdam would not release the merch, so we went through the whole tour with nothing. Actually, at our show in Switzerland none of the merch was allowed through for any of the bands due to customs also. Thanks to all the customs folks everywhere for ruining Christmas".
