NEW BEGINNINGS!

This week has been one of the more productive ones the band has had in some time!

Earlier this summer, we began writing new music - tinkering with old riffs - and generally focusing on finding the new music we want to showcase in our new EP (to be released this fall or winter). But sometimes the writing process gets stalled. And in our case, we got really busy planning our show in Boston (which was awesome!!! - pics and video coming soon), and we lost some writing time because of it.

This week though, we went back to the drawing board with one previously unfinished song that Dave wrote (called "Ted's Dancin"), and we finished it Tuesday night. But we also started writing, and basically finished, 2 OTHER brand new songs. One is an absolutle ROCKER that Brian wrote which is still untitled. And there is another groovy one that we'll either be calling "Ponzi or "Weekend w/ Bernie" - I'll let you figure out the subject matter of that song for yourselves.

And the more I think about the 3 new jams, along with other semi-new songs like: Daybreak, Set it Right, and On the Mend, I can't help but be incredibly excited to hear what the finished EP will sound like. Those six songs listed above are all so incredibly unique to each other, and all have so many different stylistic influences, that almost any type of music appreciator should be decently entertained at SOME point in the EP's duration. At least I would hope so!

Either way, the band is ROLLIN right now and kickin-out some cool tunes. I'm excited for you all to hear them!

ROCK/ROLL
