My favorite band also. I actually booked a private show for June 1! Love that pledge site!

Chris said in an interview this will be upbeat poppy. SWYA and TBC combined. Epic!!!

As much as I loved Daybreak (one of my favorite of their releases) this will be a nice direction for the band for this release. Chris seems like he is in a better mindset and the band feels like a band and not just Chris's project. Arun really brings a lot to the band and his guitar was definitely a standout factor on Daybreak and their live shows. I think after In Reverie and 'The Trilogy' Chris has learned a lot about himself and music in general and when that is incorporated into a more upbeat punker sound barriers are destined to go down. I have high hopes for this album.

I had friends that did the same but didn't have money to chip in. So now I can't see it So jealous of you.

I agree 100%. Chris is totally in the best mindset of his life. Arun is amazing and he and Chris seem to be best friends. I can not wait to see what this album will bring.

Yeah. I put 5 K on my credit card. Hoping to get 20 people at $250 per person. I hope the band hangs all day.

Terrible name for a song but really love this direction

Dude, can i get in on this?!

The songs so far are showing a lot of potential. I just hope the production does not turn out like Daybreak. These songs need a more raw sound, similar to Two Tongues production-wise.

Great song. So old school!

Takes me away to a simpler time in life :)
