We are home from our first tour as a band!  We already miss our new besties in Sundials and wish we could have spent more time with the wonderful Empire! Empire! (I Was a Lonely Estate).  In addition, we’d like to give a special thank you to anyone who helped us out with a show, let us sleep on their floor, and those who came out to see what a band with only 3 recorded songs could potentially sound like.  

With that being said…

Before leaving on our first tour we recorded demos for our debut LP.  Two of these songs were then picked to be on a limited number of tour CDs that contained all our previously released material.  We will be posting leftover merch items including these CDs soon.

Feel free to download both songs at a pay what you want rate on our bandcamp now!
