Thanks from Byzantine
With just two weeks left in our Kickstarter drive we'd like to thank everyone who has contributed thus far. Making a good album takes a lot of work. Even if the songs are strong, the recording process can be very involved and expensive. And even when a band is done recording, they still have to mix, master, package, duplicate and market the final product! With your help, the money that has been raised so far will go a long way toward completing that process. Its great to know that there are so many people out there that believe in what we do and also support independent music. We promise to work our asses off to make a great album and not let anyone down. If you haven't done so yet, please take a moment to contribute to the cause before the deadline. It's super-easy and just takes a second. Support independent music! Thanks again.

Misfits of West Virginia by Dana White

I designed this for fun - I love punk rock and I love West Virginia. Once my friends saw it, they said they wanted it on a t-shirt.
