An autographed 8x10 photo of our (soon to be taken) new press shot. It will be smokin' hot, guaranteed, because we've heard that helps sell records.

Signed copy of 23 Red sent to your stoop. We'll even use black sharpie pens to sign with.

PRICE REDUCTION!! Since we've met our initial goal, we've decided to reduce the pledge amount to access EXCLUSIVE VIDEO FOOTAGE of us in the studio!

You will then begin receiving emails to access footage from the studio. Please note, these are raw, unedited video clips taken with our personal Flip cameras. Don't expect any Spielbergian moments unless one us gets a wild hair....which COULD happen! Now PLEDGE on this and you can HEAR what we're DOING in the STUDIO!
