Hi Guys,
We’re attempting to raise $800 by August 12th, to finish mixing and mastering our new 7-song EP! The bulk of our writing and recording efforts have already been done and paid for. The songs are written, the tracks have been recorded and they are almost completely mixed. We just need to do one final mix in the studio and then pay to have everything mastered and we will post the songs online for free.

Over the years, you have kept our band alive. You’ve supported us at shows, bought our music from the merch table or online and have been the life-line of our ability to make music. We decided recently that it would be awesome to start releasing our music for free on the internet and really hope we can do this with our new EP. We just need a little help with getting our new songs finished and would be very grateful for the help.

With each level of donation, we’re offering some exclusive rewards for each person that donates. We’d love for you to produce our new EP. The way Kickstarter works is that if we don’t reach our goal, everyone gets their money back and we don’t receive anything. So please, help us stay DIY and help us release music for free. Everything we do is made possible by you and we appreciate every moment of it.

Thank you,
-JigGsaw

Hey guys! Quick update!
  Sorry we've been gone for so long but don't worry because we are back with our new line-up! We've been up in Canada recording a new record with Jeff at Blue Box Studios in Barrie, ON. He's an awesome guy and makes us sound like angels. The record should be out soon. We are in the final stages of it being done. Mikey the bass player decided to pursue other things and we wish him the best. Ed our drummer has taken on the task of bass and now Kyle from the Signal has stepped up to rock the drums. He's a rock and we'd like to thank the Signal for sharing the wealth. As you can see we got some shows coming up that we are really excited about. Dec. 5th we are playing at the Canopy Club with Snowsera, which these guys are not also awesome musicians but great guys, and Mae. Make sure you make it out. We play first so be there at nine sharp so you can come say hi to us. As well as we are going back to Rock Falls, IL to play at Crossroads Youth Center. This show will be with Rookie of the Year. Rock Falls has been trying to get us back for a long time and Amped Productions was nice enough to book us. If you see anyone from Amped give them a huge bear hug and thank them!!! Come out. We will be playing new stuff and old stuff. We love feed back.
That's all for now.

       Rock,

Kristen Brooks Hope Center

Kristin Brooks Hope Center, 1-800-SUICIDE, 1-877-YOUTHLINE
www.hopeline.com

Since the suicide of his wife Kristin in April, 1998, Reese Butler has been on a crusade. Butler used the money from his wife's life insurance to start the Kristin Brooks Hope Center, the organization behind 1-800-SUICIDE. His mission: to help present the option to live to people in the deepest of emotional pain. The means to that end - a nationwide, toll-free hotline number 1-800-SUICIDE and a hotline dedictaed to youth in crisis, 1-877-YOUTHLINE.

Callers who are looking for support dial this number and are seamlessly connected to an available support counselor somewhere in their area. If no one is available in their area, they are seamlessly connected to a suicide prevention hotline somewhere else in the country. By doing this the people who need the help will never get a busy signal - there will always be someone there waiting to talk to them.

1-800-SUICIDE and 1-877-YOUTHLINE are not just for people consider taking their own life either. It is a support network for people, young and old, who need support or an ear, though they are highly trained in suicide prevention.
