Portland's the Diskords have announced that despite a lack of recent activity they haven't broken up and are merely taking a "long break." Tonight (February 25th) the band will play their "Hiatus Kick-Off Blowout Extravaganza Show", a benefit for KBOO's Live During Wartime radio programme. The show will take place at Below Zero Records in their hometown and will feature Observers, Straightjacket and Hellshock. Things kick off at 7:00 PM.

After the show the band will be recording their last couple of songs to complete their forthcoming full length. Dirtnap is expected to release it around May of this year, but details are few at this time.
