- Throughout 2007, MAPS embarked on several tours around the South, Midwest and East Coast

- MAPS officially released our 2nd full length record "The Wick and The Fire" on June 10, 2008 through Crossroads of America Records

Maybe it's not "dirty" enough – though the record
rocks out, it is a bit bright and scrubbed, as though
they haven't played enough gritty dive-bars yet.


thats what i said all along...

Man, I came across you guys today and was blown away and then I sawthat you were from here and got stoked! haha. I've really been wanting to start up a ambient progressive band, I just gotta find some people to do it with.

And the fact that you checked out my page and obviously read my blog makes me respect you guys even more.
