The record is finally mixed and mastered! I don’t believe it either. Thanks to our erstwhile guitarist / engineer Matt Milner at Single Spark Audio and Dave Downham at Gradwell House Recording for all their hard work in getting the tracks together.

The Mass Broadcast Vol. 2 comp is out. Besides us, there are a lot of great bands are on it, including our friends in The Silence Kit, The Old Souls, Adding Machine, MAKE, It’s A King Thing, The Progress and more. We’ll probably be giving ours out at shows (wait, are we playing shows?) or free with mail orders. For more info, check out massbroadcast.com.

You may remember our song “Nothing Ever Stays Buried” from 2004’s “Revenge & Regret” EP. Our friends Leah & Travis recorded a cover of it as a birthday present for me and they totally reconstructed what was a late-90s SDRE ripoff into a folktastic, timeless song. I never thought this song would work in an acoustic setting; I guess you just have to know what you’re doing. You can check it out on our myspace, along with two unmastered preview tracks from the new record.

Our friend Mike Mamaril has been playing guitar with us the past few weeks and things are sounding good so far. If he can keep from locking his keys in his house like he did this week, we’ll really start to get our act together.
