Daniel

Hello again everyone, it's hard to believe that we are now in middle of October. What a year it's been so far.

Those of you who have been following our project over the course of the year have probably noticed that the singles have dried up a bit. We are currently on single #26 which is no small feat but that number puts us far behind our goal of 52 for the year. In all honesty the project proved to be much more difficult than we anticipated what with family, school, work along with the need to function as a band who loves to play shows and practice. Needless to say it's been daunting. You might be asking yourself, where are the singles? Well, after Branden pointed out that the songs he's been writing seemed to have a similar theme and after talking about how much fun it is to actually write and record an album we decided to hoard the singles and release them all at once as an album.

The working title is, 'Daniel'.

As of right now we are seven songs into the album with the goal of having the final total be approximately 13 songs. We will release them for download and if the response is good then we will find a way to package them and make them available in other forms (vinyl, cd, tape, Glee, Grey's Anatomy). As is expected, we are extremely thrilled about the songs at this point. Without the constraints of writing, arranging and recording a single in five days time, the process has become much more collaborative and enjoyable. And the songs themselves have--in this humble bass player's opinion--become better. Better in that the twisted individual minds of each of the members can be heard on these songs, along with the very talented young minds of Pickerington's High School Orchestra. Don't worry there are no songs with children chanting about pudding, or meat while questioning the need for any sort of quality formal education.

If I sound like a fan it's because I am, and I hope that you (if you're still reading this) are too. Isn't that what it's all about? Being in a position to love what you're doing with people you love to do it with is something not everyone gets to enjoy. If you find yourself in that position, then enjoy it. Fuck the critics.

Speaking of critics the people at Front Porch musing had a few nice words about us:

We have a few shows coming up where I'm sure we'll be playing some our new songs so stay tuned as we update the site and be sure to check out the other Columbus bands as they play around town.



Cheers.
