Another Tour, Another Blog

So most of us had these last tour, but we never really advertised them much, so now I’m going to.

We each have blogs/tumblrs for you to waste the day away on the internet reading/viewing, so much cooler than facespace and MyBook. I’ll list them for you now:

One of these days I’ll get around to putting a permanent section on this blog with these links, but this’ll do for now.
Shea’s is hilarious by the way, workin on getting Cody one, and we’ll try our best to get Bren to update(read start) his.

Love ya,
D

Big Update

I know, I know. It’s literally been months since we wrote our last post on here, but it’s only because we’ve been busy writing, promoting, and generally “coming down” from that last tour we were on(see below). Anyways, some news:

We started working with a new manager, Sara Schlievert, who has already done so much! She’s super hard-working. We’re very excited that she’s on the team now!

We were recently released from our contract with Blue Duck Records and are now sort of “free-agents.”

There are a few other exciting things happening as well:

  • -Up for Voting on Alternative Addicition’s Top Unsigned Bands Chart: Vote for Us!
  • -Critic’s Choice feature on Ourstage Radio and 3 top 10 finishes on the site.
  • -”Life Is Strange” featured on Names You Should Know Vol. 2 sampler from The Album Project.

…and last but not least:

-Our song “Consider This” is featured in a video about professional surfer Erica Hosseini. The video was made by our good friend Noah Carlson (Voda Films), check out his stuff!

Our song starts about 2 min 20 sec into the video. Watch it below!



Thanks for stopping by! We’re writing new songs that we can’t wait to show you and have a good deal planned for this whole year, so keep in touch, write us on myspace/facebook/purevolume/etc.

Take care,

In case you haven’t seen or heard, we’ll be heading out on tour with Showbread and Goodnight Caulfield from August 14th-October 14th. We’re super excited to meet and get on tour with all these guys. We’ll be updating with pictures and most likely vids, so be checking back for all that.

We’d love to hear if you’ll be coming to a show, so let us know here or myspace, etc!
Hope everyone is well. Take care.

PS. We are playing our last home show before leaving for tour tomorrow (Saturday 8/8) night at 7:00 pm, so we want to hang out with eeeeveryone before we head out. Come on out and have a good time with us!

Two new songs

Hi guys, how’s everything?

I’m writing to tell you that we now have two new songs up on our pages. Head on over to MYSPACE to hear them now. We recorded these songs with our friend Andrew Wade who recorded our album “If You Know What I Mean” last summer. As usual, he did a great job. We’re happy to have some new songs for you guys, and hope you enjoy. More to come soon! Lyrics are in our newest blog on myspace, thanks for the support!

Love, Ryan and the guys

4am

…that’s when we arrived back home in West Palm Beach from Ocala last night(this morning?). We had stayed late with Wade to finish the two songs we were recording, but they came out great! We couldn’t be more pumped about them. Wade’s just mixing and mastering them today and tomorrow probably, then we’ll have em to put up on purevolume or something.
We didn’t have internet for the last like 3 days of 4 we were there, so here’s two videos we put together so you have some idea of what we did there: Enjoy!

 



demoing

So we’ve been working on a new song(well a couple actually) quite a bit, but especially the demo for one of them. It’s one of two songs that we’ll be recording up in Ocala with Andrew Wade again from May 11-14. We used sampled drums and tracked guitars and bass already, although we have some cleaning up to do here and there.

Plans for 2009

Hey everyone,

Once again, it’s been a little while since we’ve posted on here, but we’re planning quite a bit for this year. Here are a few of the things we’re looking at:

Newline Management + Tour – (We’ll be working with these guys starting in February to book a tour for the summer. We’ll have dates up as soon as we have em!)

New Blog/Forum Site – (We’re putting together a website, in addition to this one, that will have individual blogs for each of us that you can comment on, and a forum where you can post your own thoughts.)

There’s just a couple things we’ll be working on in the coming months, not to mention new songs! Be checking back. We’ll update everything as much as possible. Thanks!
