a few thoughts...

hey guys, brian here

so we've been kicking around lots of new songs right? in order to get ready for this new album that we are going to record. i really think that people are going to like them. the one thing that i admire most about my fellow bandmates is that they actually know how to write songs; not only do they have an understanding of music theory that tends to leave me in the dark, but they also have that holistic sense that lets them step outside the song's inner workings and hear the whole product. this is where i come in more.

i really hope you guys who live in the cleveland area will come out to some of these shows we have lined up. we really can't wait to show everyone how much we've grown musically. mostly we want to have fun.

in all reality, the songs that we record in july probably won't come out for a long time. this is due to the fact that we are not on a label and we have no distribution. at the same time, we want these songs to be properly heard by everyone. i dont think anyone in the band wants to invest all this time and energy to just have these float around the internet and sit on people's hard drives unlistened.

that's not to say that we are going to be anti-downloading or anything, as i think we all realize the value of free music and file sharing in today's music world. i think it's more just about the presentation; we'd like to be at least sort of in control of that. so that being said, unless you come out to shows, most of the songs you hear probably won't be out for awhile. but when they are released, it will be the result of lots of hard work and labors of love. we love this music and we want you to as well.

oh well, that's enough rambling from me. hope to see you soon.
