Koji will release the second edition of Spring Song in mid-summer, during his run on Warped Tour's Acoustic Basement. In this interview, he also discusses his tour with Never Shout Never and how he came to play Warped.

From the Interview

That’s really how they talked me into doing it. In previous years, I wasn’t sure if it would make sense for me, just based on the tour the past few years. I wasn’t sure if there was a place for me; if I was really appropriate. But when they came to me like, “Title Fight is playing, A Loss...

Right Away Great Captain's vinyl release has been delayed.

Message From Andy

I want to start off by saying that I hate seeing long letters about vinyl delays from bands. It's a pet peeve of mine and it pains me to have to do something similar here. The facts come down to this… I have been working non stop on this crazy vinyl packaging since December to make sure it would be ready by June 12th. I mean, I have done EVERYTHING in my power to get this thing out on time. The vinyl company that I am using has gotten nothing but rave reviews from those who used it before and I fully believed that when they told me it would be here the last week of may that it indeed would get here by...

From the Kickstarter

I am really looking forward to this because these songs will be entirely mine with no one else’s input. It will be a chance for me to step outside of what I am normally used to and allow me the opportunity to do anything that I damn well please. I have had an overwhelming amount of emails and tweets of people asking me to do an acoustic album. If i can get the money raised, I will go into the studio in july and record an album of 8 - 10 original songs.
