2008: Under the Radar
2008 was a pretty strange year for us. It was the first full year since the band formed, back in 1994, that we didn't play a single show, release any new music or record anything that we intend on releasing. It's become an almost weekly occurance that one of our fans …

From: Julien
Date: Sept 6, 2008
A little..well, a great hello to you all from France!
Your music shocked my senses 7 years ago, and since that moment, i've grown up with all those emotional songs. A few bands can be proud of themselves as you can. Jamie, your voice …

Over the next couple of weeks we'll be back at our practice space going over the songs with a fine toothed songwriting comb. We'll be crossing our t's and dotting our i's, especially in songs that use those letters.
Our next session is tonight (Monday Nov 24) at 7:00pm …

We Are Not An Experimental Grind Core Band [Studio Journal]
Anyone tuned into the live studio session yesterday probably noticed that after a certain point everything sounded really SLOOOW. It was a problem with the stream (not sure exactly what) and so the whole second recording sounds like that too.
