Album Notes

LATHE - a machine in which metal is rotated about a horizontal axis and shaped by a fixed tool..... Exactly what this band is doing: shaping the metal music of today!

Originally based out of Fort Wayne, Indiana, Lathe has been tearing it up in the scene since the summer of 2004. BUT that doesn't mean these guys are newcomers. Jon Julius on vocals, Fuzzy on bass/backing vocals, Marck on guitar, and Jim Neal on drums combined bring over 2 decades' experience in writing hardcore tunes and playing live.

Jon and Jim started jamming together in 1993. In 2002, they connected with Fuzzy when they joined a band that Fuzzy was already in. Finally, in 2004, the 3 of them hooked up with Marck who completed the circle. Together, these 4 are unbreakable and are ready to tear up your town.

Lathe recorded its first full-length album in late 2005 at T. Bush Record Plant in Syracuse, Indiana. “Now or Never” was pressed and released for sale in April 2006. The CD consists of 12 original tracks that cover topics from September 11th to government to bad relationships…and of course, there are some good old-fashioned headbangin’ party tunes.
