studio pictures and update!

Update #3 · May 29, 2012 · comment

what up kickstarters, thank you all soo much for your contribution to our album!  we decided to add some pictures of the progress we have made up to this point (at which we are on hold until the funding is hopefully successful!).   These are just some random pictures of Pete Thornton (AKA the Crab) working on some guitars, and editing.  "A Fortune Revealed in the Struggle" is going to make you all very proud, as we are.  We cannot wait to finish tracking, and get busy editing and mixing.  Please tell your friends and donate if you can!  ALSO,  for those in Lakeland, be sure to pick up a copy of the LEDGER on thursday, we will be featured in the TIMEOUT section!! thanks, keep checking in for more updates!
