    Week One review

    First off, thanks to everyone's support thus far! We are in your debt and will deliver.

    Second, today we want to share one of the already recorded & mastered tracks from our forthcoming album, "Together, Alone". This is "Stranded" which was written for a website called SongFight.org (they post song titles, musicians write songs based on those titles; it's a great songwriting community of fun and friendly competition). In fact, 3 of our album tracks originate from SongFight! Check out "Stranded" below.

    Third, the artist competition has also begun. We've already received a couple of submissions and expect to get plenty more. Don't hold back! Send us your artwork for a chance to visually be part of the audio experience. We'll be posting submissions on our Facebook page for all to see.

    Forth, Phil just announced on Facebook that he's offering an exclusive bonus to the first 25 backers of our album: a special photo collection of Phil in drag! It will be very embarrassing and can be used against him in the future, promise. Don't worry, it will be distasteful but clean.

    Without further ado, bring on Week two!

    Eric & Phil
