Cool Things About Our New Album

Every album's got a story - as does ours.

Here are some quick hits about what happened during the process, who's on it and what you can look forward to once this thing hits for real June 27:

- The album art was done by Tim Marrs. He's a kick-ass designer working in the UK. Check out his stuff. 

- Back-up vocal guest stars include Jason Potter (Left Arm),  Kat Kissick (Midtown Thieves) and Sunyatta Marshall (The Helium Tapes). 

- The studio we recorded at has always been called "Dogbite" - and ironically enough Brendan got bit by the dog during a mix session. 

- Three of the songs on the album are remakes from our old acoustic album. We decided to finally do them the way we always envisioned, with this full band (The Mountain Condors, Pop Rox and Killer Riff). 

- Our engineer, Rick Harmon, recorded it using Vegas. 

- All our photos were taken by Greg Rannells at The Way Out Club in St. Louis. 

- Of course, Carl Saff mastered it. He's money. 

- The guitar amps we used: Fender, old 4x10 Marshall, Big-ass Mesa amp/cab, Music Man, Line 6. 

- The guitars we used: Epiphone/Gibson, Jackson, Gibson

- The keys we used: Yamaha PSR 630

- There are two songs about being a "mess." 

- There is one song about Vegas. 

- The "Thank You" section is enormous. And if you know us, you're probably in there. 

Looking forward to getting this thing into your hands and into your ears.
