NEW ALBUM TITLED "NEVER ALONE"
TO BE RELEASED THIS FALL
AUGUST 17th, 2017 - Boston, MA - Three-piece band, Long Time, has signed to Medical Records. The band will be releasing a new full-length album titled "Never Alone" this fall. Long Time's first single off the new record, titled "River", exclusively premiered with New Noise Magazine today. Fans can now listen to "River" with the magazine, here: http://newnoisemagazine.com/long-time-river-video/. The band is confirmed for an upcoming show in Boston, MA on August 27th at Brighton Music Hall, opening for Haken on their 10th anniversary tour.
In regards to the new single the band states, "River" is a song about learning how to fully commit yourself to something, be it an idea, lifestyle or ideal... to plunge into something fully without reservation or doubt. It's about the realization that
although the pursuit may feel isolating and solitary, we are not alone in it. Much like a river and all it contains, moving separate yet together. The song invokes one of the main themes to Joseph Conrad's, The Heart Of Darkness: "We live as we dream: alone."
But we are together in our aloneness."
Never Alone Track Listing
1. River
2. Spoken Ghost
3. Hostage
4. Silence
5. Shadows
6. Separation Situation
7. Chosen Disease
8. Windows
Some say that every note has already been played in every possible order, and combination. Given that there are only twelve, that is undoubtedly true. Yet there are those that continue to stand out and push forward. Boston based power trio, Long Time, shines with respectful homage to influence...to those that came before and to those that chose to explore. Though their backgrounds may be diverse, it is the combination of the three members that makes Long Time's sound fresh. From crushing to warm, light to dark, Long Time has found their place in perspective, and is not afraid to take you there with them.
Long Time consists of members Thomas John Cadrin (guitar/vocals), Colin Dinnie (bass), and Andrew G Nault (drums).
Upcoming tour dates:
August 27th - Boston, MA @ Brighton Music Hall

USDA Secretary Sonny Perdue and USTR Robert Lighthizer Announce Expanded Access for U.S. Rice Exports to Colombia
(WASHINGTON, D.C., Aug. 17, 2017) – U.S. Department of Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue and the U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer today announced an agreement reached with the government of Colombia to allow for expanded market access for U.S. exports of paddy rice.
A previous agreement in 2012 between both countries enabled exports of U.S. paddy rice to Colombia, but under strict and costly requirements related to phytosanitary concerns. The new agreement lifts these requirements and expands access beyond the single port of Barranquilla, which was the only port previously open to U.S. exporters.
The new agreement reflects the close trade ties between the United States and Colombia, and the high quality and safe rice produced by the U.S. rice industry. The agreement, combined with preferential access under the U.S.-Colombia Trade Promotion Agreement (CTPA), will further accelerate increased U.S. exports of food and agriculture to Colombia.
USDA Secretary Sonny Perdue said:
“Today’s announcement is another great testament of our determination to expand export opportunities for America’s farmers and ranchers and to ensure fair trade with our international partners. This agreement expands opportunities for U.S. rice producers in the important Colombian market. It also underscores the value of improved relationships to solve problems, based on a solid trade agreement that benefits both parties and on a commitment to science-based rule-making.”
U.S. Trade Representative, Ambassador Robert Lighthizer, said:
“I welcome this new agreement and the expanded market access and opportunity it will afford to U.S. exporters of paddy rice.
“This outcome is a result of the Administration’s efforts to enforce international trade commitments on behalf of the American people, and to deepen our bilateral ties with key trading partners, particularly allies like Colombia.”
Background:
Colombia is the United States’ 12th largest export market for food and agricultural products, with exports valued at over $2.4 billion in 2016 – a sharp increase over exports prior to completion of the CTPA, when Colombia ranked as the 26th market for U.S. food and agricultural exports in 2011, with an associated value of $1.12 billion. Exports of milled rice to Colombia have increased dramatically since entry into force of the CTPA in 2012, averaging $79 million per year compared to $3 million in 2011.
Exports of paddy rice since 2012, when the CTPA entered into force and the letter exchange provided for market access, have constituted a small but growing share of total U.S. rice exports to Colombia, reaching $15 million in 2016. Under the new agreement on paddy rice, costly and unnecessary fumigation and processing requirements are rescinded, and access expanded to all ports of entry in Colombia.
Paddy rice, also known as “rough rice,” is the whole rice grain, along with its hulls. It is harvested directly from rice fields or paddies and transported or exported to processing facilities. As part of the processing, the protective hull is removed, leaving only the actual rice kernel for consumption. By leaving the sturdy hull on, it is possible to store the kernels for several months without incurring product losses due to spoiling or infestation.
