Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!

We wanted to start by giving thanks to all of you for supporting us this year. It means a lot to us, and we are forever grateful!

Things have been going well in the Signal Hill camp over the past few months. In August we hit The Compound Studio with our good friends Jeff Lewis and Patrick Murphy to begin tracking for what will likely be a new ep (although no set plans yet!).  This first session yielded 4 tunes and we are heading back in December to track a few more songs. More to come on that later and who knows, it is the holiday season, maybe we will give you a sneak preview of some of these songs!

Contest
In other and more immediate news, we are having our first ever contest!!!! Have you ever wanted to design a tshirt? Well now is your chance! We are going to be doing a new run of t-shirts, and would love for any and all of you to submit your design. We will pick our favorites and post them on our site for a vote.  Unfortunately we cant pay you for your design, but in addition to having your design printed on the next signal hill tshirt, you would definitely get free signal hill stuff, a couple of free shirts, major props and whatever else we could hook you up with. We will take submissions now through December 18. Please feel free to share this with anyone that you feel might be interested!  Also, be sure to read the guidelines and submission agreement below.

Again, we sincerely thank you all and send our best to the start of a great holiday season!

hi everyone,

its been awhile since we updated the site and we thought we would let you all know that things are alive and well in the signal hill camp. we began recording our first tunes for the follow up to More After We're Gone.  we spent a glorious friday and saturday night at the compound studio in signal hill with our friend jeff lewis and patrick murphy.  we have full tracked 4 songs so far and hope to go back and record more tunes in december. very excited with what we have so far! we arent sure exactly how itll be released yet (an ep, a couple of splits etc.) so while we await for those details to finalize, we are working on writing more jams! we will surely post sneak peaks of some of the new songs. stay tuned for more details on that front (there is a video at the bottom of this post which plays a little snippit!)

in a few non signal hill news items, our good bros are heading to the east coast for their first east coast tour next month! go view their tour dates and see them if they are in your town. such a great band, and the best dudes! they are playing some great shows with caspian (whos on an epic european tour right now), the american dollar, gifts from enola and a handful of other awesome bands.

in other buddies touring news, our friend rajiv patel (who actually played our ep release party a couple years ago) is heading on a month long tour opening for dear and the headlights and kinch. we cant say enough about how amazing this dude is live. his tour dates are posted on his myspace .
