Long time, no talk!
Posted January 4, 2008
So, weve had a lot happen since I checked in last. I havent written a whole lot. Ive been enjoying my break, stepping away from the computer a bit and whatnot. Okay, so where to begin? Im a bit scatter-brained, I apologize. We had our first show in Tewksbury on the 28th! What a blast that was. A bunch of our friends came out, including Sully, who is starting up his own website/company called The Time Of Music. He was kind enough to come and hang, and well definitely be doing more with him in the future, so be on the lookout for updates about The Time Of Music and Hollywood Lies. Also, the Tewksbury Advocate also came out and took some pictures, and wrote a little about us. You can read it at: http://www.wickedlocal.com/tewksbury/homepage/x1059347235. Nothing you havent seen. They basically just paraphrased our website, haha. Awesome. Next, we finished tracking our record. Waitwhat? Haha. Its funny for that to really start to sink in with me. Weve been working on this record since February or March of last year (sidenote: HAPPY NEW YEAR!), and were finally done! As a little celebration, I suppose, weve put up a new song on our PureVolume page. Yes, we have one of those, haha. The song is called, This Must Be Love, and itll be available to listen to alongside the other two songs we have up there for all of next week, where well be a PurePick on the front page. And the week after that, well be the main feature on PureVolume, and well be streaming the entire album! It wont be mastered, but to be honest, we really cant wait to have people hear it and let us know what they think. Were really proud of where weve come from, and hopefully you guys can help us choose which song should be our next single, and which song we should possibly shoot a second music video for. Anyway, well see whats up once those get online. Ive been doing interviews all day today, which is insane, because people actually want to hear what we have to say and want to know what were all about. We should have interviews with The It Sound, RiotZine, Beat The Scene, For The Sound, and You Sing I Write up soon, as well as reviews from For The Sound and PunkTastic. Hopefully well get some of those up as soon, as well as some full album reviews once we have the stream up. Last but not least, I will have our first ever merch on Monday. So once I wrap and tag those, Ill have them ready to ship out for online orders. And provided we dont get a huge influx of orders online, Ill write little notes to everyone who orders a piece of merch from us, and maybe include a sampler. Well also be doing a pre-sale for the album soon. Our online store will launch mid-next week, and well have banners and buddy icons and other fun things for you to check out on our MySpace, alongside the album art. This project is something that were really proud of, and cant wait to put it out there for people to love, hate, criticize, admirewhatever they may. Thank you for sticking with us.
Best,
Mathew
