==May 1 2012 - The Adults on Good Morning, May 1==
+
==2 July - Shihad FVEY to be released on August 8==
Julia Deans and Jon Toogood helped start New Zealand Music Month bright and early, with a couple of live acoustic performances and an interview on TVNZ's Good Morning.
 
  
Watch it [http://tvnz.co.nz/good-morning/extra-010512-adults-video-4859851 here on the TVNZ website]!

Exciting news about Shihad's forthcoming album, FVEY, to be released on August 8 in New Zealand and August 16 in Australia. The press release straight from Warner NZ is below.
  
 +
"Shihad have announced the release of their brand new album,FVEY (pronounced, Five Eyes), on Friday, August 8.  The album, the ninth studio album from the band, is also available to pre-order at all digital and physical retailers now. Recorded in December last year at Auckland’s legendary York Street Studiowith Killing Joke frontman,Jaz Coleman at the production helm, FVEY sounds unlike anything Shihad have done before. When frontman Jon Toogood, drummer Tom Larkin, bass payer Karl Kippenberger and guitarist Phil Knight reconvened in Melbourne during the winter of 2013 for a lock down writing session it was a natural move to conjure up a brutal set of songs.
  
==19 Apr 2012 - The Adults kicking off NZ Music Month at the Whiskey Bar in Auckland on May 1==
 
[[Image:Whiskey_live_NZMM_2012.jpg|thumb|right|[http://www.whiskeybars.com Whiskeybars.com] ]]
 
To celebrate NZ Music Month, the Whiskey Bar in Auckland will be hosting 70 acts over 25 nights as part of Whiskey Live 2012 series.
 
  
The Adults are set to kick things off on May 1, with support Greg Fleming & The Trains (DJ Dan Aux).
+
"Total brutality from start to finish," says Larkin.
 +
"Because," says Toogood, "we make really good heavy metal and heavy rock and we know
 +
how to make it sound really big."
 +
The album’s first single, the relentless and heavy, ‘Think You're So Free’, has been serviced to New Zealand radio today and is on sale now at iTunes. All iTunes pre-orders of the album will automatically include an instant download of the single.
 +
According to Toogood, injustice is a strong lyrical motif throughout the record.
 +
“I just wanted to talk about the widening gap between the rich and the poor, and the ugly  conclusion of free market capitalism when it goes crazy without any constraints and how it's a soulless and selfish, disgusting void. My intention for the record was to illuminate that for myself and just to say what was in my head rather than grumbling about it on Facebook."
 +
Not that he wants to be a poster boy for the underdog and standing up for injustice. "This is a personal record for me and I don't have the answers. I'm still working things out."
  
More information on the [http://www.whiskeybars.com Whiskey Bar] website.

FVEY will be released in a number of different formats –an 11-track standard album (available on CD and digitally); a limited CD only edition featuring the standard album and  four bonus tracks; an iTunes exclusive version featuring the standard album, a bonus track and the ‘Think You’re So Free’ music video; and a 180g double LP vinyl with 11 tracks.

2 July - Shihad FVEY to be released on August 8

Exciting news about Shihad's forthcoming album, FVEY, to be released on August 8 in New Zealand and August 16 in Australia. The press release straight from Warner NZ is below.

"Shihad have announced the release of their brand new album,FVEY (pronounced, Five Eyes), on Friday, August 8. The album, the ninth studio album from the band, is also available to pre-order at all digital and physical retailers now. Recorded in December last year at Auckland’s legendary York Street Studiowith Killing Joke frontman,Jaz Coleman at the production helm, FVEY sounds unlike anything Shihad have done before. When frontman Jon Toogood, drummer Tom Larkin, bass payer Karl Kippenberger and guitarist Phil Knight reconvened in Melbourne during the winter of 2013 for a lock down writing session it was a natural move to conjure up a brutal set of songs.


"Total brutality from start to finish," says Larkin. "Because," says Toogood, "we make really good heavy metal and heavy rock and we know how to make it sound really big." The album’s first single, the relentless and heavy, ‘Think You're So Free’, has been serviced to New Zealand radio today and is on sale now at iTunes. All iTunes pre-orders of the album will automatically include an instant download of the single. According to Toogood, injustice is a strong lyrical motif throughout the record. “I just wanted to talk about the widening gap between the rich and the poor, and the ugly conclusion of free market capitalism when it goes crazy without any constraints and how it's a soulless and selfish, disgusting void. My intention for the record was to illuminate that for myself and just to say what was in my head rather than grumbling about it on Facebook." Not that he wants to be a poster boy for the underdog and standing up for injustice. "This is a personal record for me and I don't have the answers. I'm still working things out."


FVEY will be released in a number of different formats –an 11-track standard album (available on CD and digitally); a limited CD only edition featuring the standard album and four bonus tracks; an iTunes exclusive version featuring the standard album, a bonus track and the ‘Think You’re So Free’ music video; and a 180g double LP vinyl with 11 tracks. All formats of FVEY are now available to pre-order at all digital and physical retailers. Get your copy from iTunes, JB Hi-Fi or Mighty Ape."
