Blizzard Flood

Well, we tried to make it work, but the acoustics out here just aren’t as good. The release show at Brighton Music Hall is in fact POSTPONED tonight. The good news is that we’re going to be rescheduling at some point soon, and will make sure this next show is bigger, better, warmer. Please stay tuned, and…

Release Day

It’s funny, momentous days seem to have little to do with the day itself, and more to do with the days leading up to it. February 5, 2013 has been branded in our brains for the past six months – every show played, every email sent, every highway rest stop conquered and every “van…don’t die…please”…

We hope you…

The explanation: we’re shooting a video on Sunday, Feb. 3 in the southwest suburbs of Boston, and we’re looking for about 6 kids to round out our already 8-strong team. If…

MTV

Very excited to announce that MTV is premiering our new song “Pick Your Battles” on their Buzzworthy blog, and very excited for you to hear this one. Between “blazing,” “dust-covered” and “gift wrapped in barb wire,” there are some zingers in this write-up. The winner though: “One battle we bet the band didn’t fight: that opening guitar…

Contest

This here website has a bit of a new look to it today. We’re calling it the new Jan Brady of websites, if you will. To celebrate, CONTEST: below is the flier for our Feb. 9 release show at Brighton Music Hall.  Behind the text are lyrics to a song, not by us. Third (because, why…
