(November 4, 2008) - WARSHIP, the new band featuring Francis Mark (vocals, drums) and Rob Lauritsen (guitar, bass) of From Autumn To Ashes, today release their debut album, Supply & Depend. The New York City-based duo also announces their upcoming tour with Fall of Troy and The Number Twelve Looks Like You (see dates below).
Supply & Depend was produced Andrew Schneider (Made Out Of Babies, Cave In, Pelican, Unsane) and has a sound “somewhat akin to bare-knuckle street brawl between Saint Vitus, Snapcase and High On Fire.”
“I don’t think a lot of people were expecting this. When I said I was starting a new band, people thought I was going to go in a more mellow direction,” says Mark. “It’s definitely a lot more blown-out, and raw, and with more driving rhythms and ugliness than we ever did with FATA.”
The first 200 fans that buy the CD online through the Vagrant /Warship webstore for $10 (http://www.merchlackey.com/vagrant/index.php?page=488) will receive a free limited edition hand-numbered poster designed by Francis Mark (and signed by both Fran and Rob).
The band’s name holds special meaning—a play on the word “worship,” the moniker serves as a reminder of the destructive power of religion, which has often been wielded for less-than-glorious ambitions under the auspices of benevolence.
