Merry Christmas!



It seems like only yesterday we were running around in cut off jeans and tanks. Unfortunately, this weather is a constant reminder that it WAS NOT! Luckily, with the cold comes the holidays, and boy do we have a gift for you!

We have teamed up with our good friends at FeedTheBeat.com to host an exclusive stream and download for our Christmas song, "Christmas Time Is Here"

Thursday we traveled to St. Mary's College in Southern Maryland for a very very fun show. Thank you again to all of those who came out and to St. Mary's College for putting us on!



This month we've got the following shows/events:

Studio Update


Hello everyone! We wanted to shoot you a quick update from the studio. Lets begin by saying how amazing of a: producer, engineer, musician, person, friend Ryan Carlson Van Kreidt is. We couldn't be happier to be trapped in this studio making music with him.

As of yesterday, we finished all basic tracking for guitars, bass, and drums. Clinton came up to record the bass lines and Misha has been destroying the drums. Both did a tremendous job and the rhythm section sounds amazing. Today we began the overdub and vocal process. The tracks are sounding AMAZING! We're very excited with how things are sounding.

There have been a lot of sleepless nights, but they have all been totally worth it. The food in Philly is delicious and extremely affordable. We've been shooting video here and there and hope to drop you with a video update within the week.

In the meantime, check back when you can for updates from the studio and the exciting winter dates we've booked.

FeedTheBeat 2010


We are extremely happy to announce that we have been chosen to be on board Taco Bell's Feed The Beat 2010 line-up!!

Here's a quick excerpt from www.feedthebeat.com:

"What do Andrew W.K., Chiddy Bang, Mariachi El Bronx, Passion Pit, Portugal. The Man and Underoath all have in common? First, each are equally awesome and second, they are all part of Taco Bell‘s 2010 Feed The Beat lineup! Over the past month, we’ve been listening to all of the submissions to select our one hundred artists and we couldn’t be more happy with the quality of musicians that love Taco Bell. Every touring band can relate to eating on the road and Taco Bell has become essential to keep artists rocking while on tour. Taco Bell’s late-night menu offers a variety of items to conquer any band member’s appetite. Recognizing this, Taco Bell began Feed the Beat to fuel bands with $500 in Taco Bell Bucks per band so they can focus on their true passion: music!"

To see the full line-up, click here:

Thank you Taco Bell for choosing us to be a part of your 2010 Feed The Beat Line-Up!!
