     Brett here. The writing process is well underway for the as-yet-unnamed followup to 'Fables'. This is particularly exciting for us because it will be our first album of all-new material since we released 'inter.funda.stifle' 4 years ago. We are more focused than I can remember being in quite some time, and working more like we did back when we were writing for inter.funda, feeling like there's no direction we can't take. "If it feels right and sounds cool, do it" seems to be the motto of the moment.
     The sound so far seems to be going in a little bit darker and more cynical direction, probably a result of 2 years of roughing it on the road, but it's not without some cool tongue-in-cheek moments as well.
     We're looking forward to letting everybody hear some stuff, but until then here's some great photos by Isaac Flores to at least give you guys a peek at what we're up to:

Im stolked! I like to the darker direction this time around, i'm sure you will nail it! You guys still hopefully will keep the mysterious, fable thing going I hope. It was really clever and I was a huge fan of it from the start. Can't wait! And by the way, you guys are my favorite band, and the ones I look up to most in my hopeful music career. Don't be afraid to put a smile on some of your pictures, you guys might be going through a rough time; but believe me the album is going to be amazing, you guys have only gotten better, and I see some good raido play on this albums release.

Dark and cynical, eh?
Sounds great.
*Listens to Carbon Copy in hope of it sounding somewhat similar.*

Btw, playing under the influence isn't recommended for the drummer. xD

Mrs. Ryan
Megan Ryan

 
True Story:

I am substitute teaching in middle school (6th grade) and my phone rings.. I have a FTM ringtone.. and about half the boys (and two girls) in this english class are like "WTHeck?" "Who is that" "Thats awesome" "Mrs. Ryan who is that?" and so... I told them.. and then I was like... for homework, those of you that are interested... you are to go home and research FTM and etc... those of you that arent, read a chapter in whatever you're reading... so like.. if you see an abundance of 6th graders from a middle school in Flower Mound at your next Dallas show... ask them if Mrs. Ryan sent them.. :)


Miss you guys!


<3
