Cleburne, TX
Right now I am sitting in the living room of a very nice family who is letting us stay with them, listening to AJ and Adam playing southern rock in the other room. Today was very eventful. After an extremely tasty meal at Pei Wei in downtown Dallas, we drove away to shortly find ourselves broken down somewhere in the hood. It finally happened... our transmission went out. We encountered the few friendly folks who said "Make sure you are out of here by dark", and then we called whoever we could think of for advice. Almost $3500 later, we are hoping to be able to drive to our next show tomorrow night in Abilene.
On a brighter note, last night was the first night of the Punk the Halls tour with Stellar Kart, EleventySeven, Our Hearts Hero, and Manafest. The show was great, even though the first day of tour always kind of feels rushed as everyone is trying to figure things out. There are always the few people who know our songs, and that makes it super fun for us to see them singing out there... so thanks! We are looking forward to the rest of the tour, which strectches all the way up the west coast and then back.
I hope this all makes sense... I am feeling dead tired. But, we hope to see you all out on the tour. God bless - Joshua and NTL

So, at about 6:30 P.M. on Friday evening, we all got in the big red van and started our trip south and west. We drove through Tennessee, Arkansas, and part of Texas until we ended up at Lubbock at about noon on Saturday morning. I hate drives like that, but it was definitely worth it once we got there. The people helping were so nice, and the crowd was fun and receptive. So, we did that whole shindig and then got back into the van around 11:30 P.M and started driving the same route from before. I had first shift, and, I kid you not, Adam Rowe and I counted up to 35 deer (live ones) on the side of the highway and then lost count. It was bizarre, and I slammed on the brakes a couple of times to avoid making our grill and windshield the same color as the paint (and because I love deer of course). But, about 18 hours later, we arrived back home in Chattanooga yesterday.
All of this to say, touring is grueling and ugly sometimes, but it is also wonderful. We have such a good time meeting so many unique people, and you all encourage us to keep making music and killing our bodies in a van.
For everyone in Texas, the Punk the Halls tour is coming back down there in a couple of weeks or so. We would love to see you all again... and, Santa does use reindeer for his engine. - Peace, Joshua

Hey guys, just checking in. We have been out with DecemberRadio for the last couple weeks as well as playing these sweet conferences called Acquire the Fire. Last night we got to play about 45 minutes from our hometown in a place called Dayton, TN. Those are always fun because friends and family get to come as well as the beautiful familiar faces of the people that have been with us forever. I guess we have a few more dates on this tour, and then we are stoked about heading out west for the Punk the Halls tour with StellarKart. Well, not much else... it has been amazing seeing people at these shows, and please keep checking in and stopping by to see us! Love, NTL

Hey everyone! We had the opportunity to shoot some new photos this week, so we put them up on purevolume and myspace. Also, we have put out some extra songs from our record, "Live Like We're Alive" and a very old song that some people had requested called "Cries From The City". Enjoy! - NTL
