Converge Reissues ‘Jane Doe’…..FINALLY!
“Jane Doe” has been said it was going to be reissued every year for what feels like at least five (5) years now. Well it was well worth the wait and even though this is a reissue it is on my most anticipated for 2010 now. For those of you who haven’t experienced “Jane Doe” now is a great time to go to your record store and pick it up and hopefully you’ll like it enough to pick up this reissue.
Read more past the break for my little rant on “Jane Doe” as well as where to pick up the reissue of the record.
“Jane Doe” came out in 2001 and changed the way metal and hardcore was going. Think of a hybrid between The Dillinger Escape Plan’s “Calculating Infinity” and Cave In’s “Until Your Heart Stops”. Safe to say this album bitched slapped me in the face and has since become not only my favorite record of all time but the record that changed my life. I’m sure a lot of people reading this if you’re into Converge can agree or at least see where I’m coming from. Which brings me to my point of why I’m so pumped about this reissue. The reissue is being released on 2X12″LP and will be pressed on 5 different colors between Deathwish Inc. and Equal Vision Records. This is an extremely limited release and if you get to it in time there is also a T-Shirt/LP pre-order which is exclusive to this pressing only. You will find the pre-order link below, so hopefully you guys get your hands on this and enjoy it once it comes out. There is not a specific release date but orders will start being shipped in May. Once I get mine in the mail expect a review/retrospective on “Jane Doe”. Until then GET PUMPED!

The Lost Boys: A New Musical officially kicked off on Broadway last month, and Deadline now reports that the show’s Broadway run has been extended into next year.
The show was originally set to run through November, but Deadline reports that The Lost Boys: A New Musical “has released a block of tickets through Sunday, March 7, 2027.”
The news comes in the wake of The Lost Boys: A New Musical becoming the most Tony-nominated musical of the season with twelve nominations including Best Musical.
Additionally, “The Lost Boys will launch a North American National Tour in Spring 2028, at Playhouse Square in Cleveland. Additional cities and tour dates will be announced later.”
The Lost Boys: A New Musical is of course an adaptation of the 1987 horror classic from director Joel Schumacher, with the cast including Ali Louis Bourzgui as lead vampire David (originally played by Kiefer Sutherland), Maria Wirries as Star (originally played by Jami Gertz), and LJ Benet as the soon-to-be-turned Michael (originally played by Jason Patric).
The horror musical’s cast also includes Shoshana Bean as Lucy Emerson, Benjamin Pajak as Sam Emerson, Paul Alexander Nolan as Max, Jennifer Duka as Alan Frog, Miguel Gil as Edgar Frog, Brian Flores as Marko, Sean Grandillo as Dwayne, and Dean Maupin as Paul.
The Lost Boys: A New Musical is Directed by Michael Arden, featuring Music and Lyrics by The Rescues, Book by David Hornsby & Chris Hoch, Story by James Jeremias & Janice Fischer, and Produced by James Carpinello, Marcus Chait & Patrick Wilson (The Conjuring) by special arrangement with Warner Bros. Theatre Ventures.
When a mother and her two teenage sons move to Santa Carla in desperate need of a fresh start, they soon uncover the darker side of this sunny coastal community. While Lucy tries to piece her family’s life back together, Michael keeps pulling away in search of belonging.
As he finds connection with a local rock band and its charismatic leader, his younger brother Sam comes face-to-face with a terrifying reality: When night falls, Michael’s new friends are even more dangerous than they first appeared.
Joel Schumacher directed the original The Lost Boys vampire movie in 1987, wherein two brothers move to a new town and discover that the area is a haven for vampires.
