...a play by play account of the making of the new record...
 
...in the studio...
10/01/08

...we haven't been sleeping on the job, but it has been months since we've last updated you all with the status of our album...sorry about that...We are more than half way there, recording...and, of course, then it will be mixed shortly thereafter...

We realize that 'out of sight' most likely means 'out of mind', but we really feel strongly about not breaking out of our recording mindframe to come out to play some shows, despite how much live-show-withdrawal we are going through...

BUT, we are doing something special this month...an acoustic performance webcast through blowupradio.com benefitting the Spondylitis Association of America.

Our performance along with many others will be webcast on Oct 17th thru 19th on blowupradio.com.

Between now and then (and probably the weeks following), we will continue to work towards releasing this album (which we honestly foresee having out sometime early spring next year). Hopefully you'll get a chance to hear something before then. And here's to crossing our fingers as we hope to maybe see you all at a live show sometime before THIS year fades into 2009.

Thanks for waiting on us. And we promise we won't let another 2 months go by silently.

Are those TOO MANY promises? hopefully not.

...in the studio...

Checkin' in from the studio. We've tallied 21 songs and have recorded bass tracks on a couple. Unlike we've done in the past, where we've worked on all the songs at one time, we are going to see each song through to the end before moving on to the next one this time around, save for the drums. So, I'm up next.

The songlist continues to grow... drum tracks are still in session...

So we're at it again. The new album has begun and just like 'Control Alt Delete' we're recording this ourselves in our "Home Sweet Studios" or so I call it. We didn't have the luxury of endless studio time back when we were on the clock, paying by the hour. But now with our own place, we have the opportunity for more recording and have even revisited some older material that we just never gave its proper due.

We've started tracking drums. Justin's been going at it hard and we have about 10 or so in the bag right now. We have some titles like 'Ashes', 'Back To Life' & 'Break The Frequency', but also some working titles to be named later.

At this point, it's a little early to tell what is going to be on the album or when its release is expected (hopefully by year's end). But we're really proud of our past releases and we're working diligently to make our second full length album even better.

That's it for now.
