Chicago's Ryan's Hope has completed recording their upcoming full length Apocalypse In Increments with producer Dan Precision (Rise Against, 88 Fingers Louie, Break The Silence). The 13 track album, the follow up to 2004's Double Zero-released The Trials of Recession, will be released on April 11th via Punknews Records. Artwork and music from the record can be expected in the coming weeks.

The three piece will also be taking part in a new Thick Records compilation titled HAIR - Chicago Punk Cuts. The record is in the same spirit of 2003's OIL: Chicago Punk Refined, a release recorded in the Homan Oil Factory. The new record carries its title due to the OIL producer Lance Reynolds' new Wicker Park studio, located above an old barber shop. Ryan's Hope will join the Killing Tree, Cougars, the Bomb, Colossal, the Methadones, Allister, Break The Silence, Russian Circles, the Forecast, Split Habit, Wax On Radio, Much The Same, the Felix Culpa and others on the project. Each band will be recording a new and exclusive song, with 15 bands planned to record in 15 days this month. A release around the time of the 2006 Warped Tour can be expected.
