Happy New Year

Scream Hello wishes you a happy new year.

New Song/Music Video, handful of 7" still available

2009-05-17T08:17:00.001-07:00

Hey Folks,

very eventuful last few months in the scream hello camp. James finished his masters and moved to new york city, and chris moved to delaware to work on an archaeological site for a few months, which means that the last members of scream hello have left our hometown of new brunswick, nj.

To commemorate our city and what it means to us, we whipped up a song and music video (with help from director and pal James S. and verizon fios)

Though we part ways with the hub city we retain fond memories of exploits and hijinks that went down over the course of our years there. As life spreads us each geographically further from one another, we daydream about riding our bikes to each others houses in new brunswick to drink beer, order chinese and play magic: the gathering. Those were the 'good ol days'. This song is a hat-tip to the good and bad of new brunswick.

Here's a "Making Of" for this video (sorry for the advertising shit in there, not our call):

Finally, we have a handful of 7" still available through our web store located here, and we have an upcoming release loosely scheduled for later this year for the 5 songs we recorded in January (which includes "Goodbye (New Brunswick)..."). Good Times!

Thanks for reading, more updates soon on the way!

HAPPY NEW YEAR FROM SCREAM HELLO!!!

We hope your celebratory yule festivities were as safe and joyous as ours were, and that 2009 is looking as good for you all as it is looking for us so far.

To kick off the new year with a delightful review of our recent record Everything Is Always Still Happening, we'd like to share a clip from the December issue of Rock Sound Magazine

We generally are overjoyed when people pick up on what we try to do musically, so we'd like to thank Oli Robertson and Rock Sound for recognizing that we're better than Silverstein. That's the only point we're really trying to get across, ultimately.

Additionally, we've made great strides personally at the end of the year; James finished his Masters degree and is on the fast track to success, Chris will soon appear in a Levi's jeans advertisement as a rugged 501 brand model, Adam finally beat his girlfriend in Mario Kart, and Danny was promoted to head grocer and can take weekends off twice a month now. VERY exciting news all around.

But in band news, we've jumped into the studio once more with local master Joe Dell'Aquila at Exeter Recordings in Freehold, NJ to track some new and totally righteous material for near-future projects. So keep an eye out for news on that.

And finally we are seemingly mere moments from receiving the new 7" from Art Of The Underground records single series, which label master Alex was so kind to invite us to participate in. We are very excited to be doing a 7" with him and his worthy singles project. We will announce when the record is available.

Best in the new year, and remember 2009: No Permanent Damage!

"Everything is Always..." LP gets 4 STARS from AP magazine

2008-12-06T09:44:00.000-08:00

AP magazine gave our new album 4 STARS out of 5, totally rad. Thanks AP. However, they don't sell PBR tallboys in New Brunswick... we drink G.A.B.... duh...

SCREAM HELLO
(Everything Is Always Still Happening)
WHO? New Brunswick, New Jersey, quartet who probably own their fair share of cowboy shirts, have likely drank a significant number of PBR tallboys and have Punknews. org as their homepage.
SOUNDS LIKE? Quirky, Midwestern-emo-influenced punk that almost sounds like the second coming of "If It Weren't For Venetian Blinds, It Would Be Curtains For Us All"-era Piebald.
HOW IS IT? It's smart, emotive and could be one of the sleeper hits of 2008 if enough people take notice. Please take notice.
ROCKS LIKE: Piebald, Polar Bear Club, The Gaslight Anthem.
4 STARS!

Cold Weather Webstore Special: Hoodies $15ppd and new RTA Comp LPs

2008-11-30T09:37:00.000-08:00

Hey folks,

As the weather gets colder, the days get shorter, and our breath becomes more visible here in the mid-atlantic states, we decided to break out our stash of hooded zip-front sweatshirts and make the remaining quantities available through our webstore located here

These are the last few remaining hoodies from the Infinite Son tours, so get them while it's cold!

Additionally, we finally got more copies of the super righteous Right To Assemble vol II Vinyl compilation. This comp came out in May, is a vinyl only release (with a drop card inside for digital download of the comp, vol I, and additional tracks) and showcases the abilities and variety of New Brunswick NJ's best bands.
Read a review of the comp here and order it from our webstore $10ppd by clicking here.

New Video For "We Don't Exist"

2008-11-25T10:51:00.000-08:00

We created a new music video for the song "We Don't Exist," the epic jam from our LP Everything is Always Still Happening. We hope you enjoy:

Megafauna, Chinese Democracy, and my pops.

2008-11-23T17:14:00.000-08:00

Today I did something I thought I would never do.

I walked into a store and purchased a copy of Guns 'n Roses "Chinese Democracy"

Moreover, a few weeks ago while on a canoe trip, my friend and I found a Mastadon tusk buried in a pre-ice age clay layer in the river bank.

In a few weeks we're going to excavate it with some university folks. I will post pictures from the excavation when it happens.

And finally, today is my dad's birthday. He told me just now that today is also Hannah Montana's birthday. Happy Birthday Dad and Hannah!!!!

CherryPeel.com : An incredibly cool and fun website

2008-10-24T21:19:00.000-07:00

James here. I was looking for new ways to spread the Scream Hello sounds around the Internet when I came across CherryPeel.com. At first I thought it was another purevolume.com, but as I got around to setting up a profile, I found that it has a very specific point of difference. Bands are allowed to put up one song at a time, where it is made available for CherryPeel users to listen to and rate. It may pop up on the front page, in the new section when it's new, and randomly on Joe the Plumber's CheeryPeel user home page. Then he streams it (it plays immediately, no waiting around) and gives it a point or takes away a point, depending how he feels about. There are charts for the current top votes. Users put up a new song every 5 days so it stays very current. Here's a banner that should take you there. You can vote for us, or just check it out... It's a lot of fun to hear all this homemade music from around the world.

Sunday Afternoon Non-Band Related

2008-10-05T16:25:00.000-07:00

I'd like to take a minute to point at an article I read from the New York Times Magazine. It's an interesting article about polarizing partisan politics and the shrinking moderate population on capital hill. Article about Tom Davis

Also for anyone interested, a culture/technology blog that I read daily: Boing Boing

PS - Fascinating wikipedia entries about Jenkem and The Gathering of the Juggalos

Free Digital Comp, and Webstore

2008-10-01T15:28:00.000-07:00

I'd like to take this opportunity to point anyone who hasn't checked it out already towards a free Red Leader Records digital compilation sampler that's been physically passed out at RLR bands shows for the past several months, and is still available on the RLR webpage for digital download. www.redleaderrecords.com or click the link below to download the sampler, which contains rare and previously released tracks from band on the Red Leader roster, and great bands who are friends of the label.

In additional news, here's a link to our web store. The records and shirts we currently have supplies of are up already, but in the near future hoodies, compilation LPs and 7"s will go up once we acquire them, so check back if you're interested in any of that stuff.

And finally, here's a fresh review from PunkNews.org of the Right To Assemble Vol. II compilation released earlier this year on Soul Rebel Records.

"Not that I can really find this confirmed anywhere, but it is in-fucking-sane that The Right to Assemble Volume Two is seemingly made up entirely of almost completely previously unreleased material. This is hard enough task, but it all comes from the New Brunswick, New Jersey punk and hardcore community. That means that not only do you get a massive and well-spanned portrait of the current New Brunswick scene, but that you're offered rare songs from almost every one of those bands."

New D.I.Y. Website & News from the SH trenches

2008-09-27T09:48:00.001-07:00

This is our new website. Our former webguy disappeared off the face of the earth about two years ago, and our limited collective intelligence as a band barred us from any semblance of sophisticated web programming until now.

To celebrate the release of our very exciting full length record "Everything Is Always Still Happening", we decided to put our gray matter together and put some elbow grease behind this thing, and whip up a totally D.I.Y. website (with the help of our friend Chip) to bring content and news to anyone interested. James said that blogspot.com is totally budget, but after pointing out that the totally triumphant Canadian band Fucked Up has their website here, he recanted and we were in business.

Anyhow, for Scream Hello 2008 has yielded two new records on Red Leader Records, two compilation records out on Red Leader and Soul Rebel Records respectively, and a new 7" due out by years end on Art Of The Underground. Songs from these records can be sampled on our variety of peripheral websites, including Myspace, Purevolume, and Facebook .

Check back on this page often, as we're focusing on content here for your enjoyment.
Speaking of which:
