Hey There,

SHIHAD – LOVE IS THE NEW HATE – ALBUM RELEASE IN AUSTRALIA – MONDAY MAY 30TH

Just to let you all know in Australia the new SHIHAD album Love is the new hate is released THIS Monday the 30th of May - we have a special release in all leading edge retail stores where you go in the draw to win a Maton guitar alongside a Shihad pack which includes badges / stickers etc.

The album has been certified platinum in NZ after only two weeks and apart from that we personally happen to believe it's really really good and you'll dig it. So does a whole bunch of other people like dudes and dudettes from Rolling Stones Magazine / Real Groove in NZ / The NZ Herald / BLUNT Magazine / The Dominion etc. etc. so get it – you won't regret it. Word.

Also for those of you who are extra keen....
