2013

Hey there 2013, how are you doing? We're great thanks. So here's what's up: after we played our last show of 2012 we hightailed it up to London to spend a couple of days recording at Sound Savers. It went awesome and we recorded a lot more than we really thought we would. What will happen to these tracks we recorded? Well, we'll let you know soon.

So what else is going on... well we will play our first show of the year on Feb 22nd at The Green Door Store supporting Paws, which should be all kinds of fun. We will also be heading back to Sound Savers to record some more stuff. What's that for? Well, we'll let you know that soon too.

See ya soon!
