Posted project update #3Got the unmixed version back!
Post CommentHey gang, hopefully you had a chance to listen to Pouring Problems over the St Patrick's day weekend. We recently got the entire album (unmixed and unmastered) back to listen to before we send it out for mixing and I've gotta tell ya...I'm stoked. I must have listened to it 50 times now and I absolutely CANNOT wait to share it with you guys.
We appreciate all of your support and we are terribly sorry this is taking so long but we just want everything to turn out the best it possibly can for you guys, especially for everyone who has been waiting for this album just as long as we have.

Posted project update #2Progress!
Post CommentIn three days we managed to record: ALL of the drum tracks, ALL of the bass tracks, and MOST of the guitar tracks. So far it sounds amazing. We put in some hard work and it is great to see it all coming together. John Kay and Catman over at Stu Stu Studio are great dudes and are really helping us take the right steps to make sure this album comes out the way we want it. We go back in this week to finish off guitars and then it's time for vocals in November.
We are really looking forward to getting these songs out to you guys so we took some subpar videos with our phones during the tracking process. Then we shoddily edited them a little bit and threw em up on youtube in the wee hours of the morning. So check em out and let us know what you think!

Anyways, as you may have noticed, we have all been posting this Kickstarter everywhere because at this point we've come so far along (thanks to some awesome friends and fans) and we have so little time left we really need to make this happen! We have roughly 40% of our goal right now! So if you can spare anything please please PLEASE help us out. Everyone will end up getting something out of the deal if we hit the goal, we owe it to you guys for all of your support throughout the years. To everyone who has been asking when we are coming back to your town. We will be back out on the road once the record is completed and pressed, and the theme of this whole ordeal is: we need your help to make this happen. Trust us we all miss being on the road and we want to party with you too.
You guys are the best, you keep us going, and we look forward to seeing you all soon!

Posted project update #1Anyone have a rich uncle?
Post CommentWe've got a long way to go and just over 2 weeks to get there. While hitting the goal does seem like a long shot (unless someone has a rich uncle that owes em a favor) we really appreciate everyone who has already re-posted this page and everyone who has donated. Whether we hit the goal or not you guys will definitely be getting the record first as well as our undying gratitude.
We go into the studio Tuesday to set everything up and get our levels right, then Wednesday morning it begins! We are so stoked to finally get the chance to put this record out, it's been almost 4 years since "I Think It's About Time" came out and we have evolved alot as a band. I know every band says that and it usually turns out either the same or terrible but these new songs are rad! They are harder, meaner, faster, hell we finally have a solid drinking song that will get stuck in your head. Anyways...
So in summary:
Recording starts Tuesday.
We are stoked and we hope you are too.
We took forever between the last album and this one, but it will be worth it.
You guys are rad! Thanks for the support! -
