Hey thanks for the kind words and comments. I just wanted to let you know that we have new music on the way, and that we are in a battle of the bands next week. So if you are in Utah, come check us out (details on our page), and we will be giving away free cd's from our upcoming FIRST ALBUM, "Dissapointment is control." Thanks for all the support, and the new music will be up soon, so stay posted.

Love, Brayden - Formerly So
