yes, this. I'm liking it a lot.

Can someone explain to me how a band can sound like Title Fight and Blink 182?

Let me know what you guys think of the Day Dreamer EP.

I too am confused by this. This CD sounds super good, like if the lady who sang on those two From Autumn To Ashes songs fronted Deas Vail or something. Just wish I knew if I could download it...?

Hey guys!

The album is just up for streaming right now, but we're releasing it on Halloween. You can pre-order it on the BandCamp page if you're super into it.

Thanks so much for listening and spread the word if you like us!

This but also 2 of the songs are going to be free to download in a few hours. They were supposed to be this morning but bandcamp is a depressingly convoluted service. Sorry for the confusion and thanks for listening!

Bandcamp is amazingly easy for me... that's odd that it's giving you guys trouble.

Either way, this should probably not be part of Free Music Friday -- or at least not listed as a full-length. Dig the tunes though!
