BUP BUP BUPDATES!

Hey friends!
So our album "The Everlasting Man" just came out last week on Tuesday, the 20th, and we had our CD release show on the 24, which, by the way, was amazing! So, thank you to all the fans that came out to support not only us, but Roseway, Something About Airplanes, The Seatbelt Tragedy, It Prevails, and Inked In Blood for their last and final show, it was an incredible night that sold out the Satyricon, which is a very big deal! Also, our friends in It Prevails released a demo sampler of their new album "Capture & Embrace" which will be out very soon, so definitely check that out once the day comes.

Also, we leave for tour today! After a little scare over our van stalling a bunch, we finally got it all figured out, and everything should be working fine! So, tonight we'll head south for our show tomorrow in Fresno, CA at Kuppajoes. So pray for our van, Ron, and hopefully he will hold strong for our upcoming tours through April!

PS. We'll try to update this blog as much as possible while we're on tour with videos, pictures, stories, and whatever else we might feel like posting in here, so keep checking back!

-Love, Tanner

Waiting!

So our record comes out in just under a week and we are all getting stoked. There are tons of preorder options up at facedownrecords.com so make sure and check that out!

Other than that we've been practicing and getting ready for our tour in february with Tiefighter. We all bought a bunch of new gear during our little winter break. Ian got sponsored by truth drums and got a sweet new dark stained kit. Tanner and I have been nerding out on pedals and bows and slides (and an ebow) and we also got a hold of this sweet software called amplitube where we can plug our guitars intoour macbooks and it has a ton of amp modeling and junk. Were excited to be able to write on the road so well see how that goes!

Make sure to check out our page for dates and if you live in/around portland, PLEASE come to our release show on the 24th and see Inked in Blood one last time (and I'm filling in on rythym guitar for them and am scared!)!
