As you may have heard, we just added a new song to our myspace player. The song is called "Sinking Feeling" and we recorded it at our friend George Brooks' home studio this past month. We put a big deal of time into it, especially George for all the mixing, and going back to try again when we would whine about how we didn't like the way something miniscule sounded... plus there was the putting up with us messing around in his studio during down time, us trying on all his deep V-neck shirts and laughing about how dumb we looked, tying up Gavin and locking him in George's bathroom... Basically, we had a lot of fun. We all hope you enjoy the song! Go listen to it on our page if you haven't, and if you have... go listen again, and add it to your profile.
Here's the video of us recording the song, as well as some behind the scenes footage.
Remember, you can buy our EP "A Work In Progress" at Smartpunk.com for only $5.99! Give your friends and family the gift of music for this holiday season, and do it now!

Hey everybody, just writing this blog to let you know that we won the Battle of the Bands show last saturday at the Thousand Oaks Teen Center. We had a great time, and we know that all our fans in attendance had a great time too. It was an overall success and we're very proud of our victory! Last time we entered a battle of the bands, about a year ago, I believe we came in third place/fourth place or something, so that shows you what hard work and perseverance can do! Thanks to all the other great bands that performed that night as well: Right of Light, Left On Bromely, Majority Rules, R5, and The Tony Ferrari Band. They all did an excellent job as well, and we wish them all good luck. We will actually be playing with Left On Bromely again on January 1st, 2010, at the Canyon Club. Jetstream will also be performing. That's gonna such an amazing night, and trust me when I say it's gonna be an awesome start to the new year!
Also, as you know we've been in the studio recording some new songs for the past few weeks and we are very excited with how Song #1 is turning out so far. We finished tracking on Friday and our good friend/producer/engineer George Brooks will be mixing it on Wednesday. We will be posting the song on our myspace page very soon, so keep on the look out! Here is a video from our first few sessions in the studio. More videos to come, so subscribe to our YouTube page so you can be the first one to know when we post a new video.

Good morning everybody. Hope you had a great Thanksgiving weekend. Saturday, we went into the studio and we are now nearly finished with the first song. We will be putting this song up on our myspace page in early-to-mid December. Really stoked on the song, and we can't wait for you to hear it. We've been in and out of the studio for the past two weeks and the song is sounding really good. Just gotta finish up the vocal tracks and the song will be ready for mixing. Thanks to George Brooks at The Dive Studios for working with us! It's a great studio, and if you or any of your friends are in a band, and want to record something, this is the guy to go to.

Alright guys. Gary made a new rule today that whoever is late to practice owes twenty pushups. Miles was late today. The catch is, the pushups can be given by any member of the band who wasn't late, at any time, any place, and in any quantity (in accordance to the amount of push ups the person has left). So if we're walking through the mall, and Miles spots a really hot beezy, we can make him drop and give us twenty, and he has to do it. This is going to be a lot of fun. Any suggestions on when and where we should assign him pushups? Get creative and comment this with your ideas.
