Hey all,

    Watch out for the new Medications records, which is coming out on Dischord in the near future. Devin gave us an advanced copy and it sounds amazing! I highly recommend picking up this album when it is released.

This past weekend we tracked nine songs at Inner Ear Studios with Devin Ocampo (Faraquet, Medications). Devin recorded our EP, "Methods:", and we were excited to work with him again. The nine songs are roughly 35 minutes of music and the album will be out most likely in the fall.  Recording at Inner Ear was an incredible experience. The whole place is like a time capsule with evidence on the walls of all the amazing bands that have come through.

Being from the area, recording at Inner Ear was special because so many of the records that have shaped the way I think about music were recorded there.  Many of the records that have been produced there have helped me answer the question everyone who decides to try and create music must answer: "Who do I make music for?" I uploaded a bunch of pictures of our weekend at Inner Ear on our page if you want to check em out.

Next weekend we will be doing overdubs with Devin at Treehouse studios and mixing will follow.

In other news, go see Solar Powered Sun Destroyer at DC9 on Tuesday, April 14th, and Medications at Rock & Roll Hotel on Thursday, April 16th.
