PRESS RELEASE

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 17, 2005



Bands for Relief is issuing this statement to announce the discreditation of the Boston death metal band, Bane of Existence. Bane of Existence performed a Cold Storage Productions Hurricane Katrina benefit show with Bands for Relief at Dee Dee's Lounge in Quincy, Massachusetts on Friday, September 16, 2005.

This action comes forth as a result of the Bane of Existence drummer, Mike Butkiewicz taking personal responsibility for the "custom" design and release of a "T-Shirt", bearing the Bane of Existence logo on the front and a photograph of hurricane victims and statement "FUCK HURRICANE VICTIMS" on the back.

The recognition by Bands for Relief of this unprofessionalism and conflict of interest has dissolved the relationship between Bane of Existence and Bands for Relief.

Association of Bands for Relief and Bane of Existence has been terminated as of Saturday, September 17, 2005 with band representative and guitarist, Jim Ash.

Joe McNamara, Owner of Not Common Records wore the Bane of Existence and "FUCK HURRICANE VICTIMS" shirt to the Cold Storage Productions Hurricane Katrina Benefit Show on Friday, September 16, 2005 at Dee Dee's Lounge in Quincy, Massachusetts where Bands for Relief was represented by Bane of Existence. Bands for Relief had no knowledge of the Bane of Existence shirt expressing their opinion.

The relationship between Bane of Existence drummer, Mike Butkiewicz and Not Common Records Owner, Joe McNamara has been recognized as both business and personal.

In the Opinion of Bands for Relief, this action by Bane of Existence and its associate, Joe McNamara of Not Common Records is unprofessional and a direct insult to Bands for Relief, Cold Storage Productions, Dee Dee's Lounge, The Community of Quincy, Massachusetts, The Commonwealth of Massachusetts and the Victims and their Families of Hurricane Katrina.
