With the release of my band’s album last Thursday, I have been steadily working at getting the word out to share with the world what this music is all about and what makes it worth checking out. Definitely a tall task as there’s a lot of great music out there and it’s difficult finding the perfect words to get across why it is that I think people should check out our music. And afterall, it’s really hard to break down a musical experience to a bunch of words. But alas, here is the press release describing the release of the album.
Back in April, I posted a blog on my music site announcing a full-length album that I had been working on with my close friend Casey DeMott. After what ended up being about 10 months of recording and production, the discs are finally being pressed and the album is almost ready to be released!

It is a common topic of discussion that comes up between my friends, co-workers and I. In this day of age, the day of the iTunes store, Amazon mp3 store, and so on, most people are completely switched to the world of digital downloads when it comes to music. It seems a lot of times I’m the odd man out because yes, I still buy records (and by records, I mean CDs.) Now that’s not to say that I don’t occasionally grab a single or two off iTunes (especially if I’m in need of that instant gratification.) However, to me one of the greatest feelings in the world is ripping open a fresh copy of one of my favorite artist’s record, experiencing it as an album, the way that that artist (and their respective production crew) meant for me to hear it.
