Album is made and the band is stoked!

We recently completed our milk at the studio and our now anxiously awaiting our CD release gig at Sammy's in Rexburg on July 16th! Below is a video promo our producer Austin made for the show. The song in the background is "Somewhere an Angel," one of the songs that will be featured on the album. Check it out!

The Album is Almost "Full Grown"

The band has been hard at work recording at Milk N' Honey Records' studio trying to get the album complete ASAP. There are very few tracks left to be recorded and then some finishing touches will need to be made, but we anticipate that all will be finished within the next couple weeks. Along with recording tracks, we recently went out and took several pics for the album. We aren't sure yet which will become the album cover, but they all turned out great thanks to the photography skills of the ever-so-talented Tate Sexton. Below is the sample picture Tate sent us. 
In other album news, we have officially declared that the album will be named "Writing on the Wall." Not to be confused with the 1999 Destiny's Child album "the Writing's on the Wall." All seven tracks will be 100% original and 100% our own sound. No corporate sell-out sounds here!
The completion of "Writing on the Wall" will be celebrated on July 16th with a CD RELEASE PARTY at Sammy's Rexburg. Joining us will be our friends Austin Dixon and Mike Paine. I'm going to highly recommend that you check out their tunes and come see them play with us!
On a not album-related topic, the band has recently had a boom in new songs and riffs. I myself recently wrote a song called "Full Grown." I wrote it after I found out that an old flame from when I was younger had gotten engaged. Before you slap your forehead and say "Oh great! A sappy sad song!" you should know that it isn't. The lyrics describe the feelings I had that day looking back and realizing that this girl my age was now in a much more grown-up situation than me. I made sure that the music sounded more reminiscent and hopeful than sad and sappy. The band anticipates that "Full Grown" and the other songs we have recently begun work on will make great additions to our set list!
