Catching Up

2016. A new year, a big year. Let's catch up a bit on what has been going on. It has been an eventful past couple months, so here are the highlights:

- Our new full-length, No One Else, was officially released on December 8th, 2015. The album is now streamable/downloadable/physically buyable, we have been shipping out orders (sorry for the delay on some), and the whole album is listenable on fancy new music players like Spotify, iTunes, Amazon, Google Play, YouTube, etc etc etc.

- We played our record release show on December 18th at our current practice space, Paradise Records. Layman, Prayer Chain from Florida, and Loughton played the show with us. So many friends new and old came out that night, and that was quite a special occasion.

- Along with the new album, we also have a new shirt design available at our Bandcamp. Feel free to pick one up, and we will throw in some extras we made recently.

- We are currently working on booking a weekend tour with Long Beach's Struckout. This will be February 26 - 28. We will be heading out to the Bay Area. More information to be announced soon regarding this. Definitely looking forward to the whole thing.

- We have some new material being created and refined at the moment. We will be returning to the studio to record these new songs with Andrew Schubert in either February or March. These songs will see the light of day a lot sooner than the time it took to get No One Else out. More information about future releases will be announced in the coming months as well.

- Star Wars: The Force Awakens came out. Garrett has already seen it 3 times, hoping to go on his fourth real soon here.

Thank you for everyone that had supported the band in 2015. It was a year of ups and downs for us, including some pretty tense moments. It ended very strong though, and we are more than ecstatic to finally have No One Else out for you to listen to. Please share it with anyone you think would enjoy it; it's an entity of music we really believe in and we hope it can be listened to as much as possible.

Our next show is at Programme Skate & Sound with friends Pocketknife, Layman, and Will Killingsworth's new band Longings. Will runs Dead Air Studios and mastered our first tape and No One Else. We are excited to finally meet him, let along playing with his fantastic new band. Come out if you can.
