First order of business- here's a free song you can download!
It's called "Sweet Demon". We've watched a lot of True Blood, on top of a lot of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and you know- there really aren't many songs that address the strangeness of an interspecies relationship between a human and a demon. Right now the only songs that come to mind are:
David Bowie - Width of a circle
Lady Gaga - Monster
Uriah Heep- Rainbow Demon
Danzig - Am I Demon?
Let us know if you can think of any others... it'd be interesting to know how many of them there actually are. At any rate it is a short list of songs that is now one song longer.
Really the song sounds a lot sweeter than originally intended, this is due to our good friend Sheldon Johnson- who plays saxophone on this song. We had recorded rudiments of this song quite a while ago, and had actually forgotten his track was on here until we un-muted a seemingly superfluous track and were floored by the awesome. Thanks a ton Sheldon!
If you care to keep track of all this song-a-month stuff and make sure you don't miss any- you can keep yourself in the loop by signing up to our mailing list here. By the time you read these words, those on our mailing list have already got the song. If the thought of this sends you into a jealous rage, sign up!
Next, we'd like to mention another good friend of ours; Rob Dower.
If you play an instrument through an amplifier, this is a name you ought to familiarize yourself with. We owe our recorded and live sound to him and the brilliant tube amps that he has miraculously designed and built for us, aswell as the paradigm-shattering modifications he has made to our equipment. Soon we'll put up info and specs for those amps for the guitar-tech fiends amongst us.

Most recently, he has provided us with the single coolest addition to our guitar effects pedal board. See if you can spot which it is.
Yes, it's the altoids tin. Here's a closer look:
Honestly, I don't even know how it does what it does. It somehow takes a signal and saturates it, adding harmonics etc etc. Put simply, it pushes your sound up to 11, and yes, it is curiously strong. This little tin is going to be on just about all our recordings from now on.
Drop us a line if you'd like one!
