Composite, Volume Two 7″

admin — Tue, 16 Feb 2010 13:49:14 +0000

The second installment of our Composite 7″ series is on the way! Composite, Volume Two will be available on March 9, 2010 from No Idea – just in time for our shows in Florida. The 7″ features two new songs, “Some Optimistic” / “Never Walk This Alone”, and is limited to 1,100 copies (includes a digital download code). We recorded it in our practice space/home studio (aka Dan’s basement) in January, which probably explains why they feel a little slower and colder than Composite, Volume One. That’s what a winter in Michigan will do to a band.

See you in the sun!

Back Together

admin — Tue, 06 Oct 2009 19:22:56 +0000

Hi friends,

First off, thanks for the good words over the last month. It’s awesome to know that there are still people out there listening. You all rule.

We just wanted to add some more details about what’s happening. To make a long story short, the original lineup (Mike, Ben, Travis, Dan) is back together and working on new music. Over the last few months we’ve been writing a ton of new stuff and currently have about ten new songs finished plus a bunch more in various stages. We’re all really excited about how it’s going. So far, so good!

The bottom line for us is to have fun, write music, and play a few shows here and there. Just like we did when we started the band. Keep it simple.

So that’s what’s happening. Thanks again for listening. See you at the shows!

Mike, Ben, Travis, and Dan
