First and foremost we would like to apologize for the lack up updates and will do our best to get back on top of it. We have been locked in the studio (literally) for the last three months straight. We are working extremely hard on our first major label release under Atlantic. We are getting very close to having all the songs in order and the people in place to get this record finished up. Yes we are still some months away from a release date, but at least were closer than we were yesterday.
We have decided to come out one last time before the year ends and the place we have choosen is Beat Kitchen. Information regarding the show is below, only 250 people fit in the venue so pre-order tickets as soon as you can.
