In February of 2011, we convinced our then former drummer to learn some new songs we had put together since recording “Climbing up a Mountain…” and lay down some tracks for a split. At the time we had no idea who we would share the release with, no idea what label would put it out, and few pre-conceived notions as to whether or not people would even give a shit. As has been the case with this band since day one, I couldn’t be more thankful for the small but generous support from family, friends (new and old, near and far), and music lovers. If you’re in the Northeast and not doing anything, come celebrate a record that has been LONG in the making.
