You'll Never Break This Cold Heart of Mine

Update #1 · Feb 27, 2012 · comment

We are happy to announce that we've wrapped up production for the album! It's a bittersweet feeling to know that there won't be any more mixing sessions up at Josh Estock's studio on the 7th floor, where we'd sweat in the high heat and fight sleep after meals in the lowly lit mixing room as Josh plodded on tirelessly for hours. 

Watching Josh, like the commander of an led lit ship, rolling on his swivel chair from the control deck to the compressor and back again, constantly looking up at us for more input - raging against tonal tides and fighting electronic monsters to wring out the best sounds possible from the guitars, vocals, drums, etc - was truly a sight to see. What he has accomplished is something we couldn't be more proud of. 

Here's a sample for you. It's called, "You'll Never Break This Cold Heart of Mine". It's a personal song about heartbreak and regret, yet moreso a song about perseverance and strength in the face of betrayal. We hope you'll enjoy it. It's a real barn-burner. It's American Music.   (scroll down)
