Studio Update #1


Studio Update #2
<3 HBH

Hey there everyone!

We had a great time in Florida but now we're back with a vengeance.

We are in the post-production phase of our sophomore album, which we are going to be shopping to labels in attempts to get signed. To coincide with our efforts, we will be doing the following:

Getting shiny, new promotional pics (which we might pay for, so any professional photographers please message us with rates)

Designing a brand new myspace layout

Purchasing new t-shirts for all of you kiddies to buy and wear everywhere you go

Starting up a street team to help us promote and network (we are looking for dedicated people to head up these efforts, so message us if you are up for a challenge)

Searching for a legit manager (Mat and I do not have the time available to book as many shows as we would like to be playing) to book us shows, and help us out with promotions and networking

Getting our music played and promoted on any and all available formats, such as radio stations (college, internet, and mainstream), TV outlets (if you know of anyone at your local television stations we could contact, please send us their contact info), and through our fans (play our music for all of your friends, post bulletins and comments with a link to our myspace page, etc.)

The time is now for us, so please help us out as much as humanly possible. We have a few shows coming up, and I will be booking as many as I can for the near and distant future, so please come out and support us whenever possible.

Thanks,

Sam, Mat, Bobby, and Adam

We need money to travel down to Florida to record our second album, titled Odi et Amo. We have run low on funds and desperately need your help.

As a special thank you to anyone who donates, if you donate $1 or more your name will appear in the liner notes for the album. Anyone who donates $10 or more will receive a free download of the album when it comes out (TBD), and anyone who donates $50 or more will receive a free signed CD AND a free t-shirt.

To Recap:
$1  or more = Name in liner notes
$10 or more = Name in liner notes, free album download
$50 or more = Name in liner notes, free album download, free signed CD, free t-shirt

We appreciate any donation, big or small, and the least we can do to pay you back for supporting us is this. Thank you. - HBH

We are competing for a chance to get exposure on MTV2, among some other great things. It would help us out so much if you could vote for us over at Ourstage.com. All you have to do is signup, and then go to the link at the bottom of this bulletin, and start voting on bands. When we pop up, make sure you pick the best option for us! (there are two ways of voting, either stacking the bands or picking them head to head, whatever floats your boat!). I don't think there is a limit to how many times you can do this so feel free to go hog wild! Thank you :D

First off, we want to thank everyone who's downloaded our album. Over 1000 downloads in just a month and more still pouring in, thank you so much! And if you haven't had a chance to grab it yet, head over to reverbnation.com/hornsbecomehalos and grab it!

Next, we have a FREE show coming up soon, July 10th at the First Congregational Church in Milford, NH. We'll be playing with Highfire Skyline, From Here Down, The Hold Ups, and The Mighty Thirst Quencher. For more details check out our facebook event for the show.

Mathew (guitar and vocals) has started up a side project. It's some acoustic songs and things that won't fit well with this band. You can check that out here.

And last but not least, for anyone who loves Guitar Hero or Rock Band, we have set up an account at JamLegend.com. The awesome thing about that is you can even play the songs with the controller. So get cracking at 100%-ing Third Time isn't Such a Charm :D

Thank you all for the love and support!

Hey everyone,

Thank you all so much for coming out to the Sad Cafe and supporting us last night. It was a great show and the other bands were amazing. I can't say enough about the amount of support we get from all of you each and every day. I turn 20 years old today, and although I am older (and hopefully wiser), I am still amazed at what we have accomplished. If you would like to get me a gift, please buy some of our merch or donate money. We need all the help we can get to reach our goals and we want all of you to be a part of our history.

As my birthday gift to all of you, I would just like to say, live life in a way that makes you happy. Stop worrying so much about things that don't matter and just have fun. You only have one life, and if you spend it by worrying all the time, you are not living. Please remember this each morning you wake up, and dare yourself to do something adventurous. Respect the ones you love and the ones you don't know equally, and never give up on your dreams. If you are happy in life, you must be doing somehting right.

Thanks again to all of you and have a great day.

With sincerest gratitude and admiration,

Sam, HBH

Hey everyone,

So a big thank you to all of you who came out to the free show in Milford last night. The show was awesome, definitely one of the funnest shows we have played at. It was awesome to see everyone throwing down and having a good time. Once again, your loyalty and support is invaluable and we can never thank you enough for all the love and brutality you provide us.

For those of you who did not get to come out and support, do not fret, as you will have numerous more chances to prove your undying devotion to us. Just check out our posted shows and come out to one and say Hi. :D

I would like to extend a special thank you to Dominik, our awesome merch dude. It is nice to know that we have someone we can trust, and is willing to help us out. Thank you.

Things just keep getting better and better, and more exciting stuff is on the way, so stay tuned.

Also, listen to The Hold Ups and The Mighty Thirst Quenchers.

Thanks,
-Sam, HBH

Hi everyone, we have some very exciting news to announce!

In September of this year, Horns Become Halos will be recording their second full length record, to be recorded and produced by Tom Denney from A Day To Remember (www.myspace.com/adaytoremember). Connor Hayes of Project 2 Studios (www.myspace.com/projecttwostudios) will be making the trip down with us to Co-Produce the album as well.

We'll be spending two weeks in Ocala, Florida recording the new album. We're beyond pumped for this and can't wait for you all to hear the new music. It's definitely an evolution and not more of the same. We took what works best for us and expanded on it, while introducing even more influences into the mix. The next album will be high energy, fast paced, hard hitting music that we hope you'll love :D.
