good news. Although I will confess, this band did some really cool things on 2004's Humbility; by having bass/groove or almost funky styles of rock music. And more progressive, for that reason, in some ways. The EP they released in 2008 Covetous and the other songs they've played live since, are more purely power-pop, almost Cheap Trick-like, which in some ways is cool and appealing. But I can't deny, what I like most about this band is how they get experimental at times. I hope these upcoming releases still include that side to them. But we'll know obviously pretty soon.

BACK IN THE STUDIO

We were back in the studio last night @ the Den Recorders tracking what will be a full length LP set to drop this coming June. Stay tuned for more updates on this and some behind the scene sneak peak's of the sessions.

there's that post, and they keep posting about working on the album on their twitter account.

This band I got into a few years ago, and actually a search on this blog would probably trace back to that. Their debut record, 2004's Humbility I enjoyed when I 1st heard it, and have liked a bit more ever since. More or less over the last couple of years.

They're kind of in the Silverchair/Biffy Clyro/Muse vein to a point. Heavy art-rock that includes much of a catchy/power-pop style to it. They also seem to have some songs that are more bass-driven.

Their most recent release, 2008's Covetous EP I liked, although not as much as Humbility. But it'll be nice to finally hear more new stuff from them soon, and I suppose see how it compares to their previous work.
