Album #2 Kickstarter
May 6, 2026
The secret's out! Our second album as a band is on the way, and we're launching a Kickstarter campaign to help us make it. Independent music needs your support more than ever in our current economic situation, and pre-ordering a copy (with maybe a few extra goodies thrown in) is one of the best ways to do this. We'd greatly appreciate any support you can give! Head here to explore the pledge options.
Pictured: us in the studio with audio wizard Sean Sullivan and our wonderful producer Wes Corbett.
UPDATE: Success!!! Thanks to everyone who contributed, we can't wait for you to hear this record. Stay tuned!
