Geoff Rickly of Thursday and Daryl Palumbo of Head Automatica and Glassjaw Get Serious about United Nations (of Music)


"See, no sticky white residue!"

Until just now, MonsterBlood was unaware that such a thing as a "long-awaited grindcore side-project," but here's a case-in-point for you- Mike Palumbo, Crohn's disease survivor, and Geoff Rickly, who specializes in more metaphorical bleeding-heart-on-sleeve-type diseases, have written some songs for their new act United Nations, and will record them shortly. In Rickly's words,

"We were supposed to record before we started this tour but my grandmother died on the last few days of the Rise Against tour so I needed to go home and deal with family stuff. We have a solid lineup and we have seven or eight songs written. We’re gonna write a few more and put the record out later this year. It’s going to take a little more planning because everyone is so busy. We lost a big block of time that we could have worked on it and the Glassjaw tour was so last minute and that also took away from time that we could have spent on it."
