Here’s a quick glimpse at what the weekend was like, then we can quickly talk new year’s resolutions. (If anyone has crowd surfing footage, will you post it to youtube & put the link on our facebook page? That’d be most baller of you!)
Let us quickly clear up some rumors that are hanging out there (totally our fault, it’s probably time to bite the bullet and hire a publicist, again…our fault)
RUMOR #1 – Yes. There is a record deal sitting in our inbox from a label, but we HAVE NOT SIGNED IT.
RUMOR #2 – We are planning the release of new music 1st quarter of 2012, HOWEVER these next songs are actually from the vault. They were recorded during the JAG sessions. (Most have never been heard). Originally we were just going to let them sit in the digital abyss but on a recent road trip we busted them out and soon after decided they should definitely be released from their captivity…
How about we do SS New Year’s Resolutions in another blog post later this week! (One of our resolutions is to BLOG, often!)
We’re really honored to be part of this! Warner Brothers new movie “Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close” uses our song “Everything Must Find It’s Place” You can get a copy of the song on iTunes or from our webstore!
It’s late! Or early? It all runs together when we get to spend time in the studio. Crafting the new album? Yes. Getting stoked for JAG 2012 Tour? Yes! Playing on New Years Eve 2011 for 500,000 people? YES!
We wanted to give everyone a new song to say “THANK YOU” for the past 3 years of AMAZING support! It’s a Christmas tune we put together that mashes up Oh Come Emmanuel and Joy to the World, download your copy by clicking the link and then help spread the word via twitter, facebook and email!
We’re consistently humbled and amazed by every last one of you that pushes our music. Thank you for believing in us!!!
Also, if you like the Emmanuel artwork, Shaun has created some sweet backgrounds for you to download for free! Click the link, right click & save the image, and set accordingly. Enjoy.
We’re so excited to announce the release of our first official music video! I Was Wrong was featured on the WB’s hit show, The Vampire Diaries late last year and has been gaining momentum ever since. We can’t thank all the Vampire Diaries fans enough, you guys have made so much possible for us, thank you thank you thank you! Please take the time to share the video on Facebook (it’s that convenient little button below at the end of this post) and tell all your peeps on Twitter (another convenient little button down there). Without further ado:
We’d like to give a HUGE thanks to our good buddy, Ryan Booth, who shot this video for us. His talent is beyond measure and we’re so grateful for him. Make sure to go check out his work HERE. We came up with the concept and shot the video all in one day down in Houston, TX. It was a BLAST! And we only dropped/broke 1 camera while doing it. Look for that video soon. The most impressive thing about this video is that Chris did all his own stunts.
