Hey Everyone,

Long time no update. Things are slow but they are still moving regardless. Devon is making teeth for your grandmother in Syracuse, Nate is job hunting and getting tattooed, & I (DJ) am going back to school, job hunting, and crushing weights.

We are 1 song in to our next record titled “Declared Self Hatred”. We will not have a producer besides the guy who hits the little red “record” button in the control room (Even though that’s just an engineer). As a band we want to challenge ourselves to see what we can come up with between all 3 of us.

Nate and I are on a regular practice schedule here in Ohio. Plus we are just trying to get our lives together. The music we play does not put food on the table, or money in our pockets. With that being said the band will only do a few small tours and various shows a year unless we find investors who will pay our bills. We have been a band for close to 5 years now. If we were going to be as big as Black Sabbath or the Beatles it would’ve happened already.

Does this mean we don’t care about our art? No it means that we are going to better ourselves outside of music so we can put more into the art when it comes time to finally break out. We can’t tour with the flood of garbage bands today. We have a lot of love for a lot of bands but that’s 1 out of every 20 to be exact. So when the flood shallows out and when the garbage is burned and turned to dust we will return in full force. Plus we may all be dead in 4 months anyways.

With the next record we will be doing a short run of copies and the rest will be digital. No one buys music anymore including us unless it’s something we truly like and respect. The Ipod, Droid, and misc Mp3 players have defeated the purpose of hard copy music.

We will be playing a couple shows between October and November unless something crazy comes up.

On the news of currently departed Billy Petyak, we wish him nothing but the best. He knows the door is open when he is able to come back, and destroy eardrums with us. His work has taken all his personal time away to the point of he just physically could not commit to the band. It’s by far the hardest departure to the band I have had to deal with in all 5 years. But we are proud to call him a friend and he will always be a part of this band in some sort of way.

With all this being said………..IMBROGLIO will never stop. We are evolving plain and simple. We will never back down in the face of the music war. But we are recovering, recharging, and upgrading.

Thanks to everyone who has helped us out with shows or bought a cd, shirt, sticker, patch, or button. You are the reasons why we do this besides the fact we would be killing people if we didn’t do this.

A special thanks to Sean Crook at The Path Less Traveled Records for backing us and believing so much in us. If it wasn’t for you we would not be writing this. We are forever in your debt.

Until next time,

-IMBROGLIO

06.14.11 (BIG UPDATE)

Hey Everyone,

We hope a lot of you have enjoyed our new evolution with our new record “Sleep Deprivation” that has been out for a few months now. We have been hard at work with our past couple of tours, playing the show with Converge, Trap Them, Burning Love, and Coliseum, and well... writing...

We have been doing a lot of growing and a lot of learning in the past year and especially took a lot of time trying to push ourselves while we were out on the road for our last two tours throughout the Northeast, Midwest, and partial East Coast. We have discovered that we all just want to continue to grow as much as we can. We know that we all will not let ourselves have a limit or any restrictions, because our frustration and our emotion sure won’t ever back down. If they won’t back down then why should we?

On another side note we would like to thank Chewed Out, Crippling Fear, Hive Smasher, Slumlord Beauty, Flourishing, Tiger Flowers, Bellows, Balance, Mara Donna, Scaphism, Blood of the Gods, Cole Crick, Chris from Philly, Andy from Black Pyramid, and Curran Reynolds for all their help on our “No Sleep for the East Tour 2K11” ranging from a place to stay, borrowed gear, or even just helped us have a great time.

Keep checking back for updates as things will start getting busier around the Imbroglio camp.

Thanks again for listening, and all your support,

-IMBROGLIO

Hey Everyone,

Long time no write. Happy belated Holidays. We have been kind of hiding from updates & etc. But it doesn't mean we have been slacking by any means. So here are some huge updates....

We are hard at work booking our next tour for April 20th - May 15th. We will be posting the dates here soon. So stay tuned for that.


Nate is now sponsored by Silver Fox Percussion. We are happy that they will be supplying him with awesome sticks on tour / in the studio. Let alone supporting Imbroglio. We are very excited for all the things to come including the things we haven't even mentioned yet until they are more in the light.

There also has been a lot of press about our new record Sleep Deprivation. We have had 2 song premiers on Noisecreep, and on Decibel Magazines website. Here are the links.

Other than that we have a cd release show coming up February 4th with Canada's northern hostility, Vilipend. These guys are awesome. If you haven't heard of them yet you should check them out. www.myspace.com/vilipendmusic

A lot of press has been covered obviously but we are so thankful to Curran for his awesome work at pushing our name so hard into the press light, and to Sean Crook for being such an awesome dude for releasing our music and beleiving in us.

As of right now we are all getting back into the financial swing of things and working shitty jobs so we can tour, and continue doing the only thing know how to do.

Also if you haven't yet go pick up your copies of Sleep Deprivation because they are going FAST in stores. Once they are out of print they are gone forever.

Thanks again to everyone who has already bought our record it means the world to us. We cant wait to see your faces again out on tour.
