It seems like almost yesterday we were the awkward 8th grade geeks that nervously went up on stage to play a set in front of an actual audience (consisting of people other than our parents). 10 years later, we’re still the same geeks having more fun with you guys than we ever imagined. Thank you guys for an amazing ride so far.
Check out the pics and video below thanks to our friends Kyle, Alexis and Frankie.
Alex here and I hope all of you guys are doing well. It’s been cold and I miss the summer :/. Still, there’s no place/time I’d rather be these days as we’ve got a lot of exciting stuff going on.
I’ve decided to use a lot less words for this blog and instead show you guys what we’ve been up to as of late…
STUDIO UPDATE!
Check out our very first studio update video. This is where we’re making our jams (more of these to come soon!):
We played 2 new songs at our last FLC show and would absolutely love to know your thoughts on them. Feel free to leave them below or under the previous blog.
ANGELS & KINGS
Alexis took some wonderful pictures of the last show we played at Angels & Kings. Thanks Alexis! Enjoy guys:
NEXT SHOW
We are super stoked to be playing this next show at Angels & Kings on Monday, October 26th as we’re playing with a bigspecial guest not mentioned on the flyer below who we are big fans of. The first person to guess what band we’re playing with in the comments below wins a FREE T-shirt (of your choice) + CD combo. Seriously, we’re not shitting you.
Unfortunately this show is 21+ so start penciling in those mustaches on your IDs, kids. JK--we promise we’ll get out of the studio again soon to play another all ages show.
last week we finalized a contract with in-n-out records in japan to release our first album over there.
this past week i’ve mustered up all of my energy to study 100+ hours of science material for my finals in dental school.
this has been my life for a while now. i finished my first year on friday. and then went and played a show at port chester high school. we made a lot of amazing friends and it reminded me of why i’ve been torn between these 2 lives for so long now–waking up at 6 am to go to class & study, then going to practice/writing/doing band stuff on any free moment i have.
it’s been a challenge and i feel like it definitely catches up with me sometimes. i’m not particularly good at time management–in fact i think it’s the area of my life that needs the most work. i’m working on it though because i really believe in what we’re building.
this next month i will relax from school by being with the band to write a lot of new material and working on the japanese release.
and honestly, i’d have it no other way–sounds like a perfect vacation to me.
You guys were amazing on Friday!
You remain to be my favorite local band and I will definitely be going to see more of your performances!
I had no idea you were doing dental school too! That’s awesome to be able to juggle both an uprising musical career and working towards medical school. Congrats man and can’t wait to see you guys again! You Rock!!!
We are very happy to announce that we have just signed to In-n-Out Records for a special release in Japan. This really is an honor as In-n-Out is home to some the most influential bands for us, such as New Found Glory, Finch, Fenix TX, RX Bandits, Allister, Pulley, Armor For Sleep, and I Am The Avalanche. Our first release with them will be a compilation CD of both the Sleepless EP and the self-titled album–a big album with 20 or so tracks, remixed and remastered. We will keep you guys posted on all the developments (release date and all) as everything gets finalized.
The In-n-Out team have been very accommodating and very kind as we began talks with them and throughout the entire process. We are really excited to be part of such an enthusiastic and awesome team.
Thank you for all of your constant love and support! We owe the biggest thanks to you.
I am SO proud of you guys! You deserve it for all the hard work and dedication you put into your music. You guys are the best. CONGRATULATIONS and best of luck with everything!!! =)
