Hey Everyone,

Here we go!! It's finally finished and ready to go. After 4 long months of recording/mixing and all the CRAP that comes along with a band being couped up like that...The album is finally finished. All I can say about it is that the five of us are VERY proud of it and we feel that you all will really be suprised as well. We spent a VERY long time working and working and working on all the music as well as the artwork and we couldn't be happier with the product we have. All that time in our new studio "Broken Soul" has really put everything in perspective for us and we really put our hearts in this album.

February 18th at The Token Lounge we will be releasing the cd.

The line-up that night is going to be:

Krank Nine
Vanity SuperCharger
ABANDON

This is going to be a low cash show. Everyone over 21 will be Free. There will be people from WRIF, The DRIVE and The Bannana as well as several different papers and magazines from the area.

This will definitely be our "PARTY OF THE YEAR"!

Make sure to go to the newly vamped website to see the latest and to hear one of the new cuts from the album on the first page of the site called "HIDE". You can go to the media section to see us perform that song Live at The Hayloft.

We can't wait to see everyone! Tell everyone you know as this is going to be an AWESOME NIGHT to say the least.

We are looking forward to sharing the night and having a few drinks with everyone so...Mark it on the calender and we will see you there with a bottle of Jack in the hand.

Take care everyone and again, thank you sooo much to everyone that has been supporting the band and wondering where we have been...We are here and now we're back!!

Peace,

Justin and ABANDON

Once they left the stage and there was a short break, the 2nd band on the bill, another local Detroit band called ABANDON hit the stage. Oh my God... This band was INCREDIBLE... I think they may be a crossover Christian band as they seemed to have a lot of spiritual reference in their lyrics. These guys new how to play. They were very heavy musically and the lead vocalist COULD sing. His vocals were very melodic and reminded me of Bruce Dickinson of Iron Maiden. I'm not familiar with P.O.D. but my friends said they were similar to them in a lot of ways. All I can say about this band is to watch for them because I believe they have a future.
