Hello again!!

Just wanted to give you guys and girls the down low and let you know what we've been up to the past few months!

We've been writing a whole bunch of songs, almost 20 actually.

Unfortunately we had to cancel a few shows before so that we could get the ball rolling on recording our third album, but it is for the best.

West coast, we will come to you very soon!!
Actually we will be coming to everyone very soon!!

I know that you are all gonna love our new songs and mostly you will all fall in love with Arthi Meera and her beautiful voice!! (if you haven't already)

We found a perfect place to record and we'll be moving in there any day now.
A couple days ago Matt and myself (Cody) picked up a really nice, old piano for free!
Its amazing what you can find on craigslist!

Look out for new photos, merch, music and much more!!

Keep your eyes and ears ready my friends!

I don't wanna give away all the details yet but we have found a possible name for our new album and the release date is set for October!!!

Thank you all so much for the support and the love!
We wouldn't be where we are without fans and friends like YOU!

If you can all help spread the word as much a possible we would greatly appreciate it.

You can follow us on facebook here:

and please invite all your friends to join!

Again thank you all so much and we'll keep you updated on the progress of the album!

love always, Cody and 1997
