Welcome to a New Year

What's up everybody? 2009 is a brand new year and to celebrate, we have set up a blog. We organise alot of our presence on the internet through our myspace, and that's still the place you should go to listen to our songs and read announcements and news and whatever else we have to say. But we thought that we would start a blog as a way of sharing thoughts and moments that we couldn't really express on myspace.

The Year we have witnessed and the Year ahead
2008 was an eventful year for this band. All 5 of us went through changes and challenges in our lives, some of us leaving University, some of us starting University, leaving jobs and starting new jobs, a new bassist joining the band, a new CD and later in the year a new label home and a first ever trip to the United States. In between those challenges we did not play as many shows as we have in the past. However, we all matured as musicians and band members in many ways and were able to develop our sound and abilities in a way that we had failed to do so in the past. 2008 was an unusual year but it laid the foundations for a fruitful 2009.

The year ahead of us is sure to feature all the usual personal and spiritual events that will shape us. We are looking forward to getting this album out and sharing it with everyone. It feels like its going to be our biggest year yet- and also our hardest. Everything we go through will serve to make us stronger. That's our collective view as we go into this new year.

3 albums that remind us of our tour in America
* Further Seems Forever- Hide nothing
* Strongarm- The advent of a miracle
* Brand New- Deja Entendu

3 good things that have happened in the past few days
* Sean's drum kit from Dark Horse Percussion arrived (well, most of it).
* We received Christmas gifts and John Piper books from our label.
* We finished writing the lyrics for our upcoming full length.

3 things we will face in 2009
* Some of us may lose jobs/have to quit or change employment.
* We will have even less money than usual.
* We will tour more than we did in 2008 and will be able to share our message with more people.

Stay tuned for future updates! Thanks for reading.
