This is Anton checking in from HOH camp with a bittersweet update regarding the band. As some of you know, we have been in quite the silence for a while. To clear up the tumbleweed of events. I am going to be open and honest with all of you and say we are currently in debt like no other. In the process of recording our newest record, we got pretty screwed financially (by a few...
