He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the LORD require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God? Micah 6:8

[HC:Wire] Former Solidstate Records spazzcore standout Showbread has released a trailer for their upcoming album Who Can Know It to be released on November 16th, 2010 on Come & Live Records. Huge changes are in progress for the genre eclectic band, which has always dabbled in various sounds and will premiere their 6th album on a new label and in a new format – available in its entirety for free download through comeandlive.com.

The band has stated, “Even considering the sorry state the industry is in, the move wasn’t about reinventing the wheel, it was about believing in a message of hope so sincerely that you’d much rather hand it out as a gift than charge someone for it.”

The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it? Jeremiah 17:9.
