So so so sorry it's been forever since you guys have heard a peep from us. 

Here's the scoop:

The record is 99.9% finished. We're waiting on the final masters at this very moment. We will be releasing the record, which we are calling "Family Room" on January 22nd. As a thank you for helping us make this record possible you will be getting the record early. Can't say exactly when just yet but rest assured you will feast your ears on these jams before anyone else.  

Also, we will be releasing a track next week that everyone can download for free. 

Here's the track-listing for "Family Room"

1. Twenty Six / 2. Foreign Lanugage / 3. Jumping Fences / 4. Faster and Faster / 5. Hollowed Out / 6. Bury The Hatchet / 7. Shipwrecked / 8. Black and White / 9. Dirt Road / 10. Lasso The Moon / 11. Emily Green

As for your rewards, if you haven't received your reward yet, do not worry. You will get yours very soon! If any one has any questions about anything regarding the record, rewards, or why things took so long, we would love to answer them so don't be shy. 

We love you all so much for believing in us and can't wait to share what we've created.

<3 always

Is it really September?

Update #10 · Sep 5, 2012 · comment

Hey guys! We are super duper sorry that this process has taken us a lot longer than we had anticipated. We ran into some issues with the mix and had to go back to the beginning. We just kept telling ourselves "we only get to release our first record once". We want to make sure we do it right with no regrets.  As of right now it looks like the record will be completely finished by end of October and available sometime in November. We will have a lot of information very soon ie release date/album title/track-listing/shows etc...

Thank you so much for your support and patience through this exciting/frustrating time. 

Here's a video of Karri and myself playing "Emily Green" at Kirk Lake where we recorded the album.

Dear Kickstarters, 

In case you were wondering where we are at with the record, what we've been up to over the last few week and how Robbie's Birthday was, here's a comprehensive update!!!

#1 - THE RECORD - We are almost there!! Our engineer was presented with an opportunity to play drums for a band on the Warped Tour and the sweetheart that he is offered to stay and finish the record. We of course told him to go play Warped Tour and we would be waiting patiently until he returned so that we could finish the record. He comes back in one week and we will record the few bells and whistles we have left.  Then we will send a song from the record out for test mixing and choose our mixer based on the quality of the mixes we receive. We promise to keep you guys informed during these processes.  

#2 - WE'RE GOING ON TOUR - We book ourselves a two week long tour starting in Boston on July 23rd and ending in Pittsburgh on or around Aug 3rd. YAY!! This tour will also include a date in Brooklyn at Spike Hill so be sure to make it if you can. If not we'll be at the Peekskill Brewery on July 14th and we'll be playing a lot off of the new record. 

#3 - THANK YOU - We want to thank you for being patient with us through this process. We will be tirelessly working to get this record mixed and mastered as soon as possible so we can set a release date.  We have sent most of you surveys regarding your rewards.  You guys and gals are going to love Rob's t-shirt design!!! PS: Robbie had a great birthday!

<3 Ian, Karri, Rob, Ryan and Brendan
