Hello again. I re-uploaded The Road to Halcyon, without the intro. Technically, that's going to be a separate track anyways. I also uploaded another new track, Bed Bugs. Make sure to check em both out and leave us some love!

Hey so I put up a recording of The Road to Halcyon, one of our new tracks comin with our full length release sometime this year, maybe winter? Anyway, it's a pretty rough demo, so keep that in mind. Also, I'm a bitchwhistle and left the drum cues in. So yeah that shit in the intro shouldn't be there. Anyway, we'll probably take this demo down in the next few days and replace it with a demo for an entirely different song, with vocals! Look for that and keep on dancing

Everything's on hiatus for now, it would seem. Drum tracks never got done, everyone's busy and working, we're all scattered about... Things should come back together in the fall. We're probably gonna scrap what recordings we have and wait for WMHD to get new equipment. It should all sound phat when it's said and done.
Anyone wanna get some early fall shows together? We're ready to get back into playing shows and getting out there, so hit us up and we'll see what we can do.

The boys back in Indiana are finally done with class for the summer, so recording pace should pick up. Drums are nearly finished. We're going to be spread about in Iowa and Indiana this summer, but we're gonna try to get back together to play a few shows. Let us know if you wanna get something together!

I was wondering if you could help us out by voting for us to play the cornerstone music festival in bushnell, IL. go to cornerstonefestival dot com. It would be sweet if you could help us out, we were in the top ten, but now we've sliped down to 15th! Please please help.
Hey! Whats up?? I just wanted to let you know we are doing that new band showcase thing at cornerstone and we need people to vote for us! If you get a second could go to to their website and vote for us to play? Thanks!!
hey bud! well, the show is what we made it I guess. we was kind of bummed with all of the promo'ing we did and personal invites that only a handful of people showed up. about 50 in the place throughout the night. venue may have been the problem. We have a feeling that because it was outside of the city limits that most people couldnt get out. had it been in town, the turnout would have been different more than likely. We learned a lesson on that one. But over all, both bands played a hell of a show!! The band PISS OFF that filled in at the last moment actually got a few numbers and will more than likely be back in town doing some gigs. That pleased me pretty good. after all, coming all this way to play for free, i was hoping their name would get off to a good start here. As for drive to jordan, I havent talked to the boys yet to find out any information about potential shows in the future. I'm sure finding the right venue will play a great effort in their behalf. I definately thought about you boys throughout the night. kaci did too. it was sad that ya couldnt make it but, like we said before, we'll hit it up together in the future some how some way. You ARE our prime choice of music and style. Piss Off was a GREAT band but it was a tragically different style than ours.
we posted pics if you'd like to check them out. Me, momma had a heck of a time! haha I LOVE DANCIN!! then the boys had me sing a song to the crowd at the end of the show. haha that was cool. had a great time but definately missed you muches.
stay close bud! the future is gonna hold great things for us as a team!
oh man.. okay about the drummer being out of town. ya know what...? i'm going to keep promo'ing with you. IF you come AWSOME, if not then the show goes on LOL I've already sent the items to radio station and flyers out to papers and have already posted flyers all over kingdom come LOL. cant take them back so... I will in expectation "prayerfully" keep plugging on, and if ya cant make it, ya cant make it. m'kay :) huggz kiddo. dont pull ya hair out over it.
Yo homies! Our terre Haute redemption show is February 15th at The Venue! You guys should come out and see what we actually sound like! Much love bros!
