We posted two new recordings on the Unreleased page. The first is our version of Southern Accent by Tom Petty, with our good friend Matt Butcher taking on the vocals. The second is a cover of Bruce Springsteen's Atlantic City.
We made a video for "Lie To Me" last month that should be out soon, and our good friend Joe Glass made a great behind the scenes video. Check it out here.
Thanks for coming to see us with Pontiak. They slay.

Hey everyone!  Hope you all survived the weekend!

We are playing a fantastic show on Friday, August 15 @ Backbooth.  We are playing with Nebula, who are amazing psychadelic riff-rockers from the UK.  We have pre-sale tickets, which are $8 as opposed to $10 at the door.

  We only have a few left, so if you would like to be a part of this madness, let us know and we'll get them to ya!  It's going to rock your shit!!!

So, here's the deal.  We recently went to our old stompin' grounds in Vero Beach, FL to shoot our first thematic music video.  While we are amateurs, we were determined to do everything on our own.  Needless to say, we are extremely happy with how it came out!  Have a look!  This is also embedded on our profile if you just can't get enough.





We recommend that you select the "View High Quality" option, just beneath the video, as this is a MUCH better representation of the video.  The low quality is fine, but the high quality really does the video justice.

  Let us know what you think!

Cheers,
Mark

There are some things in life that everyone should agree on. We may debate politics, we can argue about economics, but there are some things that arguing about makes no sense. Specifically, I'm talking about human trafficking and slavery.

For too long, we - humans - have ignored this problem. In particular, we in the rich countries like the U.S., seem to think this is not a problem that hits close to home. Afterall, we abolished slavery, didn't we? Technically yes. Reality begs to differ.

Truth is, human trafficking - and slavery in particular although really, the distinction in terms doesn't really matter as they often go hand-in hand - is more prevalent now than in any time in history. In other words, there are more people enslaved today than in any other period of time.

The problem is, many people are unware, or even worse, don't really care.

As a band - and personally, for me - it is important for us to help spread the word. Networking sites like myspace help make this easier, but all we can do is help spread the word. It takes personal initiative to actually do something about it. It can be as simple as educating yourself. Trust me, once I started reading about this issue, I was appalled. That might be enough to spur you into action. But whatever you do, do something.

Please visit these sites for more information:

Also, here are some articles recently written by my friend, who is also the director of the office where I work:

Candidates should address slaver

Thank you for taking the time to read this.

So, Adam P. Newton of Amplifier Magazine listed us on his Best of 2007 page for his Dryvetyme Onlyne Music Blog.  Okay, so, we're not "really" on the Best Of list, but we did make the Notable Releases list, along with Wilco, Bright Eyes and Timbaland, among others.  So, yeah, that's pretty rad.  Check it out:
