Attention all talented artists out there!

BLAMESHIFT is back from a long year of touring and home writing a new album. This album to us is a collection of experiences which we gained over the years. Many of those we shared with you, our fans, as we toured the country. We want to involve as many of our fans as possible is our official BLAMESHIFT Album Artwork Contest! The winner will have their design featured as the cover of Blameshifts spring 2010 release titled, NOTHING'S THE WAY IT SEEMS. Included inside the CD sleeve will have a special thank you to that person. They will also be the first to get an autographed CD and T-Shirt with their album design on it.

To tell you a little bit about the album so you have a concept to work off of:
NOTHING'S THE WAY IT SEEMS will be about
growing up
learning to appreciate the people who love you
hope
payback
lying backstabbing cheating mother fuckers
the struggle of a relationship
believing in yourself
people not being who you really think they are
fear of not succeeding,
betrayal
the story of living on the road

The album will be real, heart felt and a roller coaster of life.

Rules and Requirements to Enter:

All entries are due by January 31, 2010. All work must be original to the artist and free of copyright. Photos, drawings, paintings and sketches are all excepted. Requirements: must include the bands name and title of the album somewhere in your design, no graphics that may not allow record to be sold in stores, follow the specs below, add us on facebook and twitter (if you have) and most importantly, be creative.

    Hey everyone...things have been crazy in our world over the last few months. And trust us...we could not have done it alone. Luckily, we found some of the most amazing people and companies to help us along the way.

    We wanted to give thanks from the bottom of our hearts to everyone that has made all this possible for us!! We also wanted all of you to check these guys out and hit them up...they are all AWESOME!!!

    (In no particular order...haha)

    1) Fred at FXV Digital- www.myspace.com/fxvdigital
     He created our entire new layout and worked with us on every single detail. We could not have asked for anything better!!  If anyone is  needs a myspace layout or any type of web design...please hit up FXVDigital.  He also did our Compilation page which is amazing. You can check that out at www.myspace.com/ctsocomp.

    2) Wayne Herrschaft-
    www.headlampdigital.com
    If you have enjoyed any of our last photo shoots...this is the man behind it all. His creativity and dedication is above and beyond. He puts so much detail and pride into every photo he takes...and it showss. So, if anyone is ever looking for an amazing photographer please hit Wayne up...tell him we sent you!!

    3) Bands on a Budget-
    www.bandsonabudget.com
    If you are in a band...and you need absolutely ANYTHING, this is the company for you. They do everything from merch to posters to download cards and CD replication. Not only are they some of the nicest guys in the business, but there prices are unbeatable. They have helped us out with our last two Compilation's and are doing the Warped Tour Compilation we are currently working on.

    4) VuDu Studio-
    www.myspace.com/vudustudio
    So even though the music is not fully mixed yet, and nobody has heard it...we still have to give a huge thank you to the guys at VuDu Studio. We cannot wait for everyone to hear the new music. Mike, Scott and Rich worked day and night to get this music done...and it sounds INCREDIBLE. Definitely check them out on their myspace...and if you ever need a sick studio, u know where to go!

    5)Cameron Zombie-
    www.myspace.com/zombiedesigns666
    A couple months ago we decided to run a logo contest. We REALLY needed a new one...and figured we would let the fans come up with something they thought represented our band. We got hundreds of submissions...but one stood out! We want to give a huge thanks to Cameron from creating this logo design for us. It is exactly what we had been looking for! He is just starting out...so definitely contact him for graphic designs and logos!!

    Well, thats it for now. We just wanted to acknowledge everyone that has helped us out in the last few months. Please spread the word about all these people and companies.

    We love you all!!!

    So tour's starting again, and I'm sure we'll be on the road for quite a few months in a row. We have a few requests from our awesome fans. First I'd like to say, NO MORE PICKLES FOR JENNY!! I can't tell you how many people brought her pickles, cause she said she liked them. We literally had jars of them stacked in our bus, haha, pretty funny actually. Of course by no means are you obligated to brings us these things, but they really do help us to keep going.

    What we really could use: (in no particular order)
    Starbucks gift cards
    Home Depot gift cards
    Guitar Center gift cards
    Home made cup cakes, brownies, chicken (anything good that you can make)
    Batteries (9v, AA)
    Gallons of Vegetable oil (fuel)
    Bottles of Grey Goose (for those baller fans!)
    Keg of Beer =)
    Socks
