howdy everyone!
we hope this finds you all doing well! thought we would take a moment & give a couple of quick updates.
firstly, this is super belated, but we wanted to start by saying that we thank you all so much for attending our east coast shows, and for ordering our split with all india radio. we sincerely appreciate your support and couldn’t continue doing this without you! we were very fortunate to play with some amazing bands, and met loads of new friends along the way! the trip was a great one, and we hope to do it again soon!
for those of you who couldn’t make it, we’ve put up a couple of live videos from the tour on our site. we will be uploading more in the coming weeks. you can view those by going here.
on a side-but-related note, our new friends north end who we played our first show of the tour with in west chester pa, have a new album that came out this week called atlantica. do yourself a favor and go jam it, it’s great!
new music
there’s a lot going on in the new music department! let’s start with the immediate.
more hope for japan- compilation
we recently contributed an unreleased cover song for a benefit comp called: more hope for japan. the proceeds from all sales will be donated to the american red cross each week/month, to help rebuild japan in light of the horrific events which occurred in march. we are honored to contribute along with 36 (yes 36!) other bands for the second installment of the series for a great cause! this will be available in an ultra-limited quantity of 100 cd’s ( all numbered, and on 4 discs!), as well as digital download. the pre-order begins sunday nov 20th (tomorrow) and will be available on their site here:, they will definitely go fast! the “street date” as they say, will be dec 9th. this is the date which the cd’s will ship and digital downloads will be available. mark your calendars!
37 songs, by 37 bands, including message to bears, anoice, thisquietarmy, her name is calla…. and frankly too many great bands to mention! don’t believe us? see the full tracklist here.
our addition to the comp is a cover of a song called the radiator by one of our favorite bands, ida. we made this instrumental version for fun a few years back, and are glad that we finally got a chance to release it!

new album – yep, its coming!
we have been working on new material this whole year and think we are pretty darn close to finalizing the tracklist. it looks to be about 9-10 songs at this point. being apart on separate coasts has brought us a fresh perspective on song writing, and we are excited to share the progress.
the plan is to wrap up the demos by early 2012, get together as a full band in NYC for a few days to put the finishing touches, and record in early spring. more details coming soon!
additionally, since we will all be together in NYC, we decided to plan on doing a show as well! so friends in and around NYC, stay tuned for more info!
old music – for free!! for limited time only!
seems like every thanksgiving we offer up some free music… and why should this year be any different! get a free download of any of our previous releases by simply going to our facebook page, liking it (if you don’t already), and download away by going to the “free download/stream” tab!
distance, more after we’re gone, & the self-titled ep, are all available for the taking. the free download widgets are live now, and will remain active until friday nov. 25th. enjoy
store update
we still have copies of our limited edition 7” with all india radio, and have new t-shirts leftover from tour and loads of other goodies. if you feel so inclined, take a gander!
that is all for now friends. thanks for your continued support!
with love and gratitude,
sh
