SUPPORTSo, what’s this all about?
In our time off the road this year, we have been hard at work creating a new album that we are extremely excited to share with you. If you would like to make a contribution to help fund our project, we would welcome your support at any level. We’ll send you updates on the album and you will be able to hear the music we are making before it is released, maybe even before it is finished!
We love being independent artists. Like so many artists before us, we learned the hard way that owning your own master recordings is important, and it has become an essential part of who we are as musicians and business owners. It gives us the freedom to do what we want, how we want, and when we want to do it, and it allows us to choose who we want to partner with to create and help us bring our music to the world, be it producers, labels, publicists, promoters, marketers, and all of the important team members that help us to spread the love. But we live in the real world, and all of this freedom comes at a cost, because it means that we have to pay for it out of our pocket. If you have streamed our music, bought things from our online store, or come to any of our shows, you have helped us along the way, and we are grateful for your support!
Throughout our career, we have been pleasantly surprised and often overwhelmed by the generosity of the community that we have all created together. From opening your homes to us for house shows to standing in long merch lines just to say hello and share your stories with us after a show, what you have shared with us has always been beyond our wildest dreams or expectations. So when we were talking about how to fund our next album, it occurred to us “why don’t we just ask for help?” So here we go.
Q&A:
-
A: Your contribution will help pay for expenses for our new album that we hope to release in 2026. Recording studios, production, mixing, mastering, graphic design, CD & vinyl pressing, publicity, promotion,
-
A: Basically, we wanted to try something different. Platforms like Kickstarter are convenient, but they take a fairly significant percentage of the funds that are contributed, and we want to create a more direct connection and relationship with the fans that support us, so we want to see if we can do it without an intermediary.
-
A: In the best way possible, Patreon can get a bit chaotic. We love the community that has developed through Patreon. It’s a great way to support the work we are doing and connect with us and other fans in a deeper way. That said, Patreon is where we throw all of the random things: BTS footage, demos and unpolished versions of songs, breakdowns and lyric explanations, etc. It also gives fans access to our Discord page, which is basically a place where we can chat directly with fans, and fans can chat with each other. So to be totally honest, if you’ve already joined Patreon you shouldn’t feel at all obligated to support here. You’ll still get early access to the new songs, and more. But we know not everyone is interested in joining something like Patreon, and we wanted to make a simple, streamlined way for folks to support the very specific work of bringing our next album to life.
-
A: We’ll send it to you right when it’s completed, which should be sometime late Fall 2025. The closer we get to finishing the album, the more info we will have to share, so we’ll keep you updated.
