Current mood:  nervous

So here is the deal. If everything goes as planned, (you never know...I don’t believe anything anymore till I see it) tomorrow, Tues. Aug. 25th, our album will “officially” be released on itunes and amazon. This time it will be through the “proper” channels known as Upper 11/Fontana. Now then…what does this mean? “Wasn’t your album already on iTunes?”…yes, but now that it is “officially” released all sales will be counted...i.e. the label will be paying attention, and we will have the chance to chart!!! Speaking of charting, the more people download within the same day or same week, the better our odds to be on some sort of chart. Now I realize a couple of things. 1. We are such a young band, and for the most part nobody knows who we are…. so charting at this point is a long shot. (Although you never know, and why not try…right?) 2. Most of you reading this already have the album. That is where the “buy as gift” feature comes in as a good option. You can “gift” someone the album through iTunes which in turn adds a sale, and gets our name out to someone who may never have heard of us before. Of course if you want to buy a second copy for yourself, I won’t be mad :) It will have slightly different artwork.

Now then, when will it be available in stores?…that depends.  It depends on iTunes sales and touring. ITunes is up to you, and touring is up to us. We are trying to put together some sort of fall tour to coincide with our radio promotion. Just remember, every little bit helps. Just saying our band name to someone that has never heard it, is progress…Any thing you can do, small or big, is always appreciated.

We are still trying to make something happen, and hope you have not given up on us….This business can be a slow burn sometimes, but the band and I have a lot of fuel left in us!

Thanks for sticking it out,

All our Love,

-Troy,Derek,Dann and Ryan
