1. TO KILL video now online
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
TO KILL is still out there crushing people with their brand of traditional hardcore, and have recently put out a video for the song "No Voice" off of their debut full-length CD "Watching You Fall" [CR22]. The band has been playing and touring non-stop in Europe so far, and we're working hard to get them over to the US again as soon as possible.

2. Allan joins the Catalyst team
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
We've started working with Allan (guitarist of Gather, editor What We Have fanzine) recently, and he's already made a big difference. He will now be in charge of putting together the Catalyst Street Team, as well as other duties. He's just an all around awesome person, and it's kick ass to have him helping out.

(Issue 1 is available, issue 2 coming soon)

3. GATHER full length CD
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
We're really excited about adding GATHER to the Catalyst Records roster. If you haven't heard of them yet, you will in the near future. They have been doing great things in the Western US, and also participated in the Total Liberation Tour in 2004. With a political vegan straight edge focus the band is a perfect fit for the label. They expect to start the recording process this spring (at the studio of Scott Crouse of Earth Crisis fame) and we are planning on an early summer release date.

Be sure to check out their first two releases as well, the "Total Liberation" e.p. and the upcoming split with Seven Generations, both released by New Eden Records. (both available through our web store)

4. Catalyst Records sampler CD
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
We have recently put together an eleven-song sampler CD representing bands Catalyst Records has released. We'll be sending these out FREE with all orders, to our distributors to send out, and passing them out at shows, etc.

We have also decided to make this available as a FREE download (including artwork). All you have to do is go to the Catalyst Records website or Myspace site and grab it. Simple enough?

If you would be interested in helping pass out samplers or otherwise spreading the word about Catalyst Records, let us know, send an email to the street team address.

5. Catalyst Records Message Board
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
We finally have our own message board system up and running. We will be using this to post smaller news item tidbits, those that fall between the updates we (infrequently) send out and to promote other events, news etc. We also encourage everyone to participate and use it for discussions not necessarily directly-related to Catalyst Records.

- To access the message boards:

6. Catalyst Records DVD
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
We are still trying to compile a collection of live shows to put on a DVD release. The problem is that we are having a really hard time locating DAY OF SUFFERING video. We know there is at least one good video out there somewhere, so if you can help out let us know!


7. Add Catalyst Records on Myspace
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
One way to get more frequent updates, and the occasional special deal on merch is to add us on Myspace. Check out the site, download songs, leave a comment, whatever.
