Hello everyone! We've gotten a lot of emails lately from people asking if we have an album available and what stores they can find it at. We also get several emails a week from people who are having trouble finding it at a store by them.

This blog is a response to all those questions and our attempt to explain where our music is available and have all that info in one place for people to reference. We're here to help!

First of all, We're very fortunate and thankful that we had the opportunity to get copies of our debut album in physical record stores, let alone stores outside of the US! In an age where music is essentially free, it is a huge testament to the friends and fans we have and the dedication they have shown us over the years.

That being said, let's get to it!

Our suggestion for people that are looking to buy it at a store would be to call ahead and see if they have it in stock. There's nothing worse than driving around town and finding the cd you want is out. *Note* If they don't have it in stock, you can ask them to order it for you and they will.

Hello everyone,
Sad news in the Throw The Fight camp today. We just learned a couple days ago that our vocalist, James, has been diagnosed with testicular cancer.  He will be having surgery this coming Thursday and there is a period of 2 weeks where he will have to recover. 

Since our show in Superior Wisconsin on June 20th falls in this 2 week window, we are going to have to back out of the show. At this point we are not sure if James will have to have radiation or chemotherapy after so it is possible that more dates will have to be canceled as time goes on. 

The worst part is that James is currently living without health insurance and medical bills are expected to be well over $50,000. 

It is possible that we will be setting up a benefit show for james in the next couple months. We will keep everyone posted with details of that if it happens. 

If anyone was thinking of buying a shirt or cd lately, now would be a great time to do that. We will be giving the majority of all the money the band makes to James to help cover his costs. Thank you for all of your support!!
