This Was Supposed To Be An Album It's been almost a year since we released Cityscapes. It's been a crazy year. Our plan had been to release a full-length, brand new album this year. Instead, our money and merch were stolen late last year - so we postponed our full-length plans... sort of. The result was a 3-song EP, the aptly titled "This Was Supposed To Be An Album," and a live album, which is currently being mixed and mastered. If you joined us last weekend, thank you. If you didn't, you missed an incredible night - luckily for you, we recorded it. Photos and videos and audio will be forthcoming. Keep an eye out. |
|
This Was Supposed To Be A Party We just got done laying down three tracks at Shine Studios, and we had a total blast recording with Justin Douglas of Loxsly. We'll be showing you some of how we did it in upcoming webisodes! After mixing and mastering is finished, we'll simultaneously release the EP and record the next album in one monumentally momentous occasion, to take place on May 15, 2009. Mark your calendars, because you won't want to miss this. Seriously, it's going to be epic. For more information, click below:

An EP, and more... We're going back into the studio to record a a few songs prior to the release of our forthcoming full-length. More news to come. |
