“MessItUp” (Single)

Band Memoirs

I'm really pleased with this single. The title song is from an upcoming 2010 studio album. We collaborated again with Rock Romano who engineered Warrior Ethos and Visions of the Future, two of our best albums. This first track gives only a slight hint of what's to come from the next release.

The second song, “Cure for the Soulful Heart,” is from an infamous set of working tracks that started in early 2003. They are very raw, low-fidelity songs that the band works on periodically. Some of the tracks that have surfaced from this set are “Fist Pump,” “Ride,” and “Fool's Ride.” There are several more that we plan to release in a rarity, oddity collection someday.

I hope fans like these songs. There's more good stuff coming.
