illustration by John DeLucca and design by Caspar Newbolt. Week 1 was “The Calm” + “Hold Back The Night” Week 2 was “The Trainyard” + “No Way Back” Week 3 was “The Storm” + “Buried In The Red” (featuring Bit Brigade’s own Luke Fields on bass guitar.) Week 4 was “Calling Out” Week 5 was “This City Made Us” Week 6 was “Hold On (The Distance Between)” This week is “The Redline” + “A Show Of Force” So MAGFest sold out in record time, but don’t freak out if you didn’t get a badge, because we’re planning a little something here in Nashville for early-mid 2026 that you don’t want to miss. We’ll dole out more info on that as we know more details. But go ahead and clear your schedules for the entire year, because it’s gonna be a big little something. And in case you somehow missed all the emails and social posts prior to this and are wondering what this is all about, Act III: This City Made Us is now in the CD and Digital pre-order phase on Bandcamp and we’re releasing one to two songs a week (every Monday or Tuesday) until they’re all out in the world. And if you’re worried about the math, don’t freak out, the first one landed on a Friday and the second one landed on the following Tuesday, but from here on out they’ll land on Mondays or Tuesdays (they’ve all been Tuesdays so far, but we swear Mondays are still in the running). We said 2025, and when we said 2025, we meant 2025. And always remember, only the physical copies of the album (CDs, Records, etc.) come with the libretto/booklet that have all of the fleshed out story and incredible John DeLucca illustration and Caspar Newbolt design. And stiiiiiillllll no word on a pre-order date for Vinyl, but we’re working on it. See you next week! -Commander
