New Label + New Album

We've signed to Wind Up Records...new record coming soooooon! We're stoked...you should be too! So perhaps (and hopefully) some of you have been clued in and following some of the small hints I've been dropping on our myspace since December about this weeks announcement. I so wanted to do something bigger and cooler to announce this along the lines of an Alternate Reality Game (aka: ARG...aka: nerd speak for an online scavenger hunt) similar to the ones that went along with the movies A.I. and Cloverfield. I enjoyed those ARGs and I wanted to share that thrill of the hunt with all of you. Alas, that wasn't in the cards, for this announcement.... So now that the bag is out of the cat, we've been writing for a new record since...well...last May. Right before Never Sleep Again, we spent some time at a cabin in the woods down in Eastern Ohio. Just us, nature and our instruments. Since the end of Never Sleep Again we've really stepped up the writing and rehearsal intensity. We have a ton of amazing new songs for you, the best we've ever written. We've been in NYC for the last couple days working with the label, preparing things and in the studio tightening up songs! Aside from the lengthy road to get to this point, getting to NYC was quiet the journey. JT went up a week ahead of Matt, Micah and I to work on vocals/lyrics to some of the songs we had been writing, so he didn't have to contend with the weather. It ended up snowing like 6 inches the night before we had to fly out, which seems to also be a fitting metaphor for our career. So we get to the airport, the snow had stopped at this point and everything was still on time. We check our bags and go through security. First delay...only 10 minutes (ok fine, we can live with that). Second delay...1 hour (still not bad given all the snow). So with a half-hour until we board I took some Dramamine (I get bad motion sickness on planes). Five minutes later...CANCELLED...SHIT! Not only do we have to fly out early the following morning, but now I've just taken something that makes me feel like a zombie for absolutely no reason. I was bummed, but it was comical. We're in the studio today tightening some songs up, making them even more killer than they already are! That's all the info you get for now. Stay tuned for more updates! --Eron
