The first U.S. rumblings from the Boris camp hit stores and as expected its well worth the wait. I saw the band play some of the new stuff live this week and I'll be damned if that isn't one of the best shows I've seen in a long time.

	Boris - Statement 7" So the first single ends up being "Statement", which was posted here under the rough translation from the Japanese import as "Message" earlier last month. The single version chops the long intro and cuts right to the fiery core of the beast, glad to see
the jaunty Whoo-Whoo's got left in at the end there, though. B-side, "Floor Shaker" starts out delicate but quickly lives up to its name as a real epic Boris rocker. Can't beat the sleeve design on this one but I'm still bummed about the artwork change for the U.S. LP. Ah well, can't win 'em all. Seriously if they're playing near you its worth more than the price of admission. Get off your ass and get a ticket. Download: [MP3] Boris- Statement (7" Version) Support the artist. Buy it HERE
