Its an exciting time for us as we shop the demo we recorded last year w/ Sylvia Massey at Radiostar Studios in California.  We're getting some positive feedback and we're hopeful to find a label that loves our music as much as we love writing, recording and performing it.  In the mean time, we're staying focused on writing the best original rock music that we can, recording as soon as possible, buying a van and hitting the road to play live as often as we can.

Since our trip to California last summer, during which we recorded four awesome new songs (Some Call It Hell, Devil Woman, Both Feet In The Fire and The Hunger), we've written six more new songs and debuted them in Columbia for the first time at the Crawfish festival last Saturday.  Some of the tentative titles of the new tunes include: Just Add Rum, Oh Lord, Southeaster and Watch It Grow.

What's interesting to me as a drummer is how all of our new songs, including those we recorded last summer, have more of a swing feel.  Not big band swing... Iron Maiden/Black Sabbath/Doors - rock swing.  That rhythmic style blended w/ Mike and Wes' cool riffs, as well as Patrick's unique melodies and lyrics, has been a big help in us exploring new creative territory.  Plus, Patrick has been playing more harmonica and incorporating it tastefully into the new tunes.  Bottom line?  The songs just plain kick ass and we can't wait to record them.  One of the new songs even has a waltz rhythm in it.  That's right, a waltz!  (Think Stevie Ray Vaughanmeets The Doors.)
