Happy Friday party people!
We're excited to announce that we're now working with Red Bull. With their help, the late night drives on tour will be a little easier (we very well may become bioinic and never go to sleep again). Thanks to Scott and the fine folks at Red Bull/Grace for their support!
Thanks Party People.

Home sweet Ohio! Thanks to everyone that battled the weather and caught us on the Never Say Decaf tour over the last couple of weeks. We had a lot of fun and it was great meeting a lot of you! High fives all around. Thanks to our tourmates JT Woodruff and Mark Rose for having us. Good dudes and great music.
After spending the largest chunk of June 09 until now on the road, we're home for the next couple of months doing some scattered shows here and there and working on a lot of new song ideas. We're pretty excited about how the new songs are coming together and have been kicking around a few interesting ways of releasing them.
Keep in touch, let us know where you want to see us play. We still 100% run our myspace, facebook, and twitter all by ourselves and will always write back.
As always, we're not sorry for partyin'.
Mark and Poppy

Absolute Punk Dot Net review of ANALOGIES
Friday, October 2nd, 2009 by: TSC
Check out a new review of Analogies from AbsolutePunk.net. Click the album cover below to check out the full review and give your user rating and comment.
From the review:
"How is it? Pretty darn good. On their split EP Analogies, both bands worked with producer Jamie Woolford (Punchline, Gin Blossoms) who served as the mixer for the effort and that simple touch makes the disc sound undeniably cohesive. Whereas most splits allow one band the first half of the disc, and the second band the latter, Analogies uses an alternating sequence and it's actually a solid tactic... The disc opens with "Move Forward," an urgent, straightforward rock song with sincere vocals, tons of energy and charisma."
