I felt obligated to tell you just how badass the album is after listening to it a few times now. Great song writing and straight up mind blowing production.. excellent work.
Glad to have you as our friends .
Just checked out your tracks .
A most enjoyable listen !
Love the sincere , straight from the heart vocals , creative arrangements ,Passionate playing .... the vibe !
Sounds like a real band having fun , which is a most pleasing experience in an age of no-fun , perfectionist music that sounds like the computer wrote the song .
Your band is real , your band is great !
High-Five ,

Don't pump gas on May 15th!
...in April 1997, there was a "gas out" conducted nationwide in protest of gas prices. Gasoline prices dropped 30 cents a gallon overnight.
On May 15th 2007, Americans nationwide are asked to unite and not go to a gas station in protest of high prices. Help put a dent in the Middle Eastern oil industry for at least one day.
And Please Spread the Word!
I think I like the forward-driving, dylan-esque "People Nowadays" the best, because that's my thing. But you've got that lush arrangement thing down on all of the tracks that makes great songs unique and irresistably interesting. They all sound very awesome. Great job!
