Black Market Activities has announced the signing of New Hampshire-based The_Network. The band includes former members of Premonitions of War and Dead Water Drowning and apparently distinguishes themselves from the more Devo-inspired act with an underscore.

According to the label, the band promises vintage, chaotic hardcore in the vein of Deadguy, Coalesce, Turmoil, Refused and Bloodlet. The group are in the process of booking a tour alongside Gaza and Thumbscrew in October and November. Look for tour dates to be announced soon.
