Dear friends,

I’m writing you from the bottom of my heart, without reservation, to
tell you that we have considered ourselves very lucky to have been
surrounded by such caring and supportive people. Friends, fans, family
and fellow musicians alike. You’ve stuck by us through some
challenging times, and for this we owe each and every one of you a big
hug and a thank you.

As many of you know, we were once associated with a small record
label. Our contract expired some time ago and we’ve since been an
independent band. Because of some inner-label disputes, our past music
releases have been taken off iTunes and other various purchasing
outlets, making it virtually impossible for you to become familiar
with our music. Unfortunately of this, we have no control. Such is the
business I suppose.

As a band, we have been walking down a long road of sound-discovery,
making demos, playing new songs live, and just finding out what works
for the five of us, and what does not. Honestly, it took me longer
than I wanted to really figure myself out too. But we’re finally to a
point in our ‘bandome’ where we feel ready to make something happen.
We’re ready to hold something concrete, and listen to the fruit of our
labor, something that we can be proud to share with you. Which brings
me to this…We’re headed back into the studio mid November with the
goal of releasing an EP this winter. It’s going to take a little more
time, and a little more patience from you, but we know you’ve got it
in you.

We cannot thank you enough for sticking by us, and we hope you’ll
help by pre-ordering a copy for yourself in advance, and spreading the
word to others like you’ve always done. Please be on the look-out for
a link to pre-orders soon and future tour dates. That’s right, we also
plan on getting out of Texas in early next year, after all we owe you
that hug. I sincerely hope to see all of you again soon! Here’s to
2012, cheers!

So excited,

Patricia and the boys

    I was at Best Buy in the instruments department and the girl working there was blasting your music. I’ve been searching for it ever since. I can’t wait to pre-order and get my hands on your album. Keep up the great work. :-)

      Thanks! See you on the 2nd!

  11. marie11-22-11

    hey- just discovered you guys, and think you’re fantastic! I look forward to your show at Stubbs Dec 4th, and will definitely pre-order your EP.

  12. Alicia12-03-11

    My brother just shared Anybody with me (heard via 101X) and I fell in love! Already planning to see y’all when I’m back in town. Keep it up!

    • The Soldier Thread12-03-11

      Thanks Alicia! Our next show in Austin is on December 22nd at The Mohawk. Hope to see you there!

  13. Derien Mattingly12-04-11

    I missed the last show you played in Houston, but am very excited to hear that your playing the HoB on New Years Eve! I wish you guys the best of luck in everything that you do and the perseverance to over come those who try and sully the oldest and simplest joy in life: Music.

    I want to help support you in anyway that I can, Im slowly but surely collecting all of your music, but as you stated above some of it is getting hard to find. Is there any place in which I can purchase your older music and the money still go to support ya’ll? Thank you so much! ^.^

    Peace,
    Derien

    Since I first saw you with Blue October at the HOB in Houston, I’ve been hoping to see a cd from you. I wanted to buy one that night!

    When it’s ready, I’m ready to get one. =)

    something to look forward to.

  15. JosephSaid12-16-11
