Its no great secret that Perth band BREAK EVEN have broken up. Midnight Funeral has already announced plans to press their debut "Young At Heart" EP as a 12 inch release. Now the label is planning on releasing the final Break Even track "Hells Gates" as a one sided 7 inch.
Below is from Craigos at Midnight Funeral..
Pre-Order: Break Even - Hell's Gates 7"
Originally, I was only going to have these for sale at the last Break Even shows, but I have spoken to a couple of people, and had a good hard think about it, and there will be people who don't have the opportunity to buy one of these, so I am going to sell some now...
The original idea (and this is still what is happening), was to have 150 copies of a one sided 7" with Hell's Gates, the last song the band recorded, available with the white copies of the "Young at heart" LP. So, anyone buying the LP at Hardcore, will get a copy of this 7" too, on white, for $25.
The minimum order I could do was 300, so I did 150 on Black too, with 50 copies going to the band to sell, leaving me with 100 copies on black. I was going to just sell them at the shows I was at, but then I have had a lot of overseas orders, and Tassie, SA and QLD orders, and those guys have supported the label (and the band of course) for a long time, and I would hate to have them think that I am excluding them...
So, I have 100 copies here available for pre-order (as they are coming with the LP's), and I have put a no postage option on it, so those that have ordered the LP, and want to add a copy of this their order, can do so. All you need to do, is choose the $0 option. If you haven't ordered the LP, please choose the normal postage cost.
Thanks again for your ongoing support guys, and thanks for supporting Break Even in their tenure.
Now, if they arrive in time for me to do so, I will screen print the B side, otherwise, they will have artwork of some form...

NB: I know $10 is steep for a 1 sided 7", but the costs for me are the same as 2 sided 7". They still add labels, make a blank plate and use the same amount of vinyl. Sorry guys...
Hells Gates Lyrics..
So far from home...with the sounds of waves crashing below me
So far from home...with the weight of the world hanging over me
this is where you will find me
HELLS GATES
the most prettiest place
where you will forget almost everything
HELLS GATES
the last place
i would have thought to find my balance again
and i would give anything just to feel the wind against my skin
and i would give everything just to hear the wind call my name again
Been on the run for way to long, im so far from home
its hard to know, where to turn or where to go from here
where all my fears, caught up with me
when all the words have got me here
Maybe this all thats left for me, maybe this all but just a dream.
WITH SO MUCH MORE TO LIVE...ill leave my fears here
WITH SO MUCH MORE TO LOVE...ill leave my fears here
WITH SO MUCH MORE TO LEARN...ill leave my fears here
WITH SO MUCH MORE, WITH SO MUCH MORE
ill leave all my fears here to live, to love, to learn, to pass on
ill leave all my fears here to live, to love, to learn, to pass on
there's no chance you will find me
SO FAR FROM HOME...with the sound of the waves behind me, ill carry on
SO FAR FROM HOME...with the weight of the world behind me, ill carry on
SO FAR FROM HOME...ill carry on
