After almost two years, our debut album "A Day Without A Name" is finally finished and ready for release early next year!  Check out two new songs from it, "Seven Suns" and "The Purpose Of Life" in the music player on our page.

We also have a show booked at the Rock and Roll Hotel in DC next month on Friday, January 29th.  More details to follow!

Hey everyone,

It's been quite a while since we've made any updates. First off, I wanted to formally announce the departure of our friend and drummer Mike Seaner. He recently got a new job up in PA, and he and his wife Andrea also purchased a house up there to be closer to their family in Philly. Mike had been there with us since the beginning and helped get the band established with his hard and precision style top-shelf drumming. As his last contribution, he was able to lay down the drum tracks for our upcoming full length album. We wish him and his family the best as he will definitely be missed.


As we say goodbye to Mike, we are proud to introduce our new drummer, Rob Hart (formerly of the Pittsburgh band, Missing Pilots). We were lucky to have found Rob so quickly (thank you Craigslist!) and are excited to begin working with him. Rob is a very talented percussionist and multi-instrumentalist who we believe will bring a lot to the table with his skills and experience.


Now as far as the album goes, we've run into all sorts of delays that have prevented us from releasing it sooner than we would have preferred over this last year. I will say that we are finally making the progress we've wanted and much of the tracking process is finished. We should be able to start on the mixing process very soon. When all is said and done the album should be about 11 tracks. Hopefully we'll have something for you to listen to soon.


Lastly, we realize we haven't played since January so we thought we'd take a break from recording and set something up . We'll be playing a show at the Rock and Roll Hotel in DC on Friday July 25. It will not only be Rob's debut, but we also hope to debut a couple new songs for you as well.
