Fun and fancy free gentlemen with a musical mission
After years of seemingly prolonging the inevitable, we finally decided to come together and make a proper EP to release to the masses. We came together in late December 2011 with our producer Paul Reeves and some of our closest Athens friends to make what we think is a truly stellar country EP consisting of 5 songs that take a listener through every possible human emotion and then back again.
We used our own personal finances to begin the studio dates in January. Thus, the EP is finished- mixed and mastered. So where do our donors come in? Well, the funds we raise from this Kickstarter will go towards paying off the remaining cost of the record, artwork and duplication of the record, as well as various other startup costs that it takes to get a new band rolling (website, merchandise, pictures, and so forth).
This band and this record would never be possible without the love and support of our close friends and family, and we really do thank y'all for any contributions made to help make this thing happen. Your investment will definitely be put to good use, and we hope you like what we came up with.

This lucrative reward includes writing an actual song, and then recording it, with us (and you, depending on talent level) [kidding!] playing the instruments and singing backup. It will then be mixed and mastered, and ready for you to start your own Kickstarter and compete with us for regional domination. + Reward 5

The GOLDEN Reward. By donating $4,000 you become a Stiles Brother. Legal documents will be drawn in order to have last name changed, you will live with us or our father Eddie for one year, and will endure the rigorous musical training we have subjected ourselves to, and at the end, you will be in the band. Think Bruce Wayne's League of Shadows training. + Reward 5
