looking forward to seeing the Bayonets review, that's my release and it's awesome even if I do say so myself!

[awakeohsleeper]

A lot of people rave about Florence and the Machine over here in the UK but I've not really experienced much of their music. I'd be intrigued by a review of that album.

Hillcrest Road's The Definition EP was recorded in Minneapolis, MN with producer Jordan Schmidt (All Time Low, Sing It Loud, You Me & Everyone We Know).

We are waiting for Jordan to send us the masters, and it should be released digitally soon.

Just giving some background on the EP.
