Friends,
We're very pleased to announce that we've finished recording, mixing, and mastering our newest EP titled "Eureka!" Over the course of about 10 days in the studio, we worked extensively with our friend and producer Tyler Watkins to craft something we are very excited about. We hope you will be too!
After listening to a pre-release copy, one reviewer has already said
"It’s an EP to turn to as the leaves fall, your life transitions, and your once blurry vision becomes ever so clear" (knoxroad.com).
As a band, we like to think that our blurry vision is coming into focus – right now. In fact, the direction that we need to take this project seems clearer than ever.
Today, making thoughtful music that we are passionate about isn't quite enough. We want to take it up a notch and bring you with us on the journey. Solid touring and promotion is needed to get people to hear our music and this is why we're asking YOU, our fan-base, to “Fuel our Project” and give us the boost we need. In exchange for your generosity, you will be rewarded with the items listed to the right. After reaching our goal, we plan on using your donations for manufacturing our EP, promoting it with radio and web-based agencies, and to help us pay off our loan for mastering the EP at a top-notch studio.
On a side-note, we should mention here that RocketHub is an "all-or-nothing" promotion site and if we don't reach our goal of $3100, we don't receive any of the pledges and you'll get your money back. Furthermore, any amount over our goal will go straight towards extra promotional outlets for our band.
We thank you for showing interest in our crowd-funding project. With your support, we can achieve great things together!
