Cursed.

So Cursed is a band that broke up back in 2008. While they were on a European tour promoting their recently released record III they got robbed in the hostel they were staying at overnight. As I understand it, the robbery, was the final "bullet in the head" for the band, so they called it quits at the end of the tour and a paypal account was set up to help them get home to Toronto, Ontario.

They were a huge part of Southern Ontario "hardcore" and were well liked all over the world with releases in Europe, American and Japan. In the short 7 years they were a band they released 3 full-lengths and 3 seven inches while touring constantly. They were signed to Deathwish, Jake Bannon of Converge's record label (and if you haven't listened to Axe to Fall, get on that already.)

And then out of the blue yesterday Chris posted on the b9board that a new Cursed 7" - The Last Sessions, was released. It was recorded off of the floor near the end of their time as a band and is limited to 1000 copies. In the same post, he said "There may be some LP reissue action this year too." Which to me, and many other record collectors hopefully means II will finally be repressed, and myself and those collectors will finally have closure to a great band that will always be remembered.

Also, check out these videos of the last few days they were a band. Pretty awesome and gives you a great insight into what these songs were about, it definitely gave me a new perspective on living in Toronto and the condos that are slowly surrounding our city.
