Those digits alone look monumental with attachments to the cryptic Mayan calendar and also pre-dating the fictional storyline to the album 2112 by  Rush by one hundred years. Whatever events this four digital number may entail, a small fraction of good news is that a new Soft Riot extended single, entitled “Another Drone In Your Head” will be coming out on the new label home of Tundra Dubs, a new San Francisco label that has been gathering steam over the last year with releases by Funerals, ΔAIMON, I††, Black Jeans, et al. Expect a January/February 2012 release date which will come soon.

This release will be a start of more music to come in 2012, released in a digital format with three new tracks plus remixes by various artists which will be announced soon as those details are being worked out behind the scenes at the moment. In the meantime, if you’re in the London UK area, there’s a couple of shows coming up that you can come to and get sucked into by viewing the LIVE EVENTS section.

You can view all of the details in the LIVE EVENTS section of this website. A lot of newer material will be played from a new collection of songs under the banner HYPERBOLIC MASSES, which more information on that will be coming in the near future.

New footage has been shot for an additional promo video for the No Longer Stranger track “You’re Not From Around Here” which should be debuting in the coming weeks.

A couple of additional compositions are in the pipeline for a compilation based on classic video game soundtracks (interesting…) and a remix or two.

Finally, a digital single will be release on the label Everything Is Chemical in the coming months as part of an ongoing virtual 7″ series by the label. The two tracks will be a remake of a very old (5+ years) Soft Riot song that was never released, as well as a cover song.
