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. 

A couple pictures I just took of our cramped roomstudioworkspace:

More updates to follow soon!

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!

P.S. We’re on the front page of Purevolume, if you haven’t checked it out yet!

Hey everyone, how’s it going?  Ryan here just checking in with a few updates on this eve of the eve of the release date.  Just a few things…

Starting today we have an exclusive full album stream over at www.absolutepunk.net .  If you haven’t had the opportunity to hear all of the songs yet head on over there and have a listen.  We are very grateful that they are doing that for us. 

Also, starting tomorrow we will be on the main page of www.purevolume.com , where you will be able to listen to a bunch of the songs on the album as well.  For those of you that have heard the album, check these pages out anyways because we have a new video for you that documents our time in the studio in May 2008.  Our good buddy Morgan H.  from Florida put it together for us., so we thank him for that. 

Thank you all for checking out these pages and leaving your feedback.  It’s much appreciated.  Well, that’s about it for now. 

The olympics are on right now.  I’m going to watch some gymnastics.  These girls are so young and tiny it’s unbelievable the way that they can flip and spin so many times in one jump.  I can barely do a summersault (spelling?) anymore.  In other news, Brendan and I caught a combined 17 bass (the fish, not the low pitched string instrument) today.  Love it. 

Talk to you soon!

Ryan

You’ve all got one more week to preorder the album if you haven’t already! You can do that at the Blue Duck Records Store. Remember, if you preorder it, you’ll be entered in a contest to win $100 to Ticketmaster, which, if I can say, would be the best prize ever! More live music! So, tell your friends, family, and close acquaintances.

During the week of the release, we’ll be featured on Purevolume and Absolute Punk so be sure to check out those pages.

We put up some pictures from Soulfest 08 on our Myspace, courtesy of Jess from Blue Duck Records, who also put up a couple videos on YouTube so check out all of that as well.

Thanks for reading! Take care.
