    Ignore our band name... hahah.

    So over the past summer I was kicked out of my other band for "not having enough time" for it, and recently was lucky enough to have a friend approach me about joining his project. Which is great, because it's a really great thing we have going. Right now though I'm posting because as shitty as it might sound, we need your help (and I'm posting here because I'm asking everywhere and anywhere, haha).

    We're going into the studio to record our first release with Paul Leavitt in Baltimore, MD. Paul is known for recording All Time Low's first album which went gold I think, and also recorded artists like VersaEmerge, The Dangerous Summer, Circa Survive, etc. Big things could be headed our way we hope. Thing is, its expensive, and while we're currently saving money on our own we can't do it alone. So, this is where we selflessly ask for your money, ahahah.

    If any of you have heard of Kickstarter, it's a site that allows people to post their own projects to be funded by others, in exchange for some sort of prize or reward. Some people have mixed feelings about Kickstarter and we're aware of that, so I guess whatever. We look at it as you're basically buying our merchandise to go directly towards a cause instead of us just blowing it on something.

    So, you guys don't HAVE TO donate (but I'd love you forever if you did), but basically I'm posting this just to spread the word in hopes that you guys will too, and maybe someone else will find the urge to donate. The word of mouth and gaining fans is just as beneficial to us!

    So, anyway, yeah if you read all this, thanks! Here's the link to our Facebook. If anything, LIKE us! You can also find us on iTunes!

    Thanks guys! I posted the link to our Facebook in the first post, give us a like! The record is being released on February 2nd, in both physical and digital formats (iTunes included!). I'll post again to remind anyone who'd be interested. It'll probably go for about $4.99 on iTunes.

    Almost has a 'softer' Emarosa feel to it, very nice.
  • Steve%s's Photo
    Thanks, trav, you're right though, never thought of that. Hope to hear what others think about the tune.
