Also this may surprise you but Shane did a Blink-182 cover that is getting really good feedback so tell us what you think.

EP Coming Soon!

So last Tuesday we finished up all the vocals for this upcoming EP, If It's Maria.

We will be announcing a release as we get closer to our producer finishing up the mixing & editing.
Here are some clips of us recording the song.

Here is us recording Your Blood is not My Blood.

First clip is Shane adding his bass riffs. Second is Luke warming his vocal up for recording the chorus. It sounded horrible when he was warming up so we threw some T-Pain effects on his vocals for laughs. The final short clip is part of the bridge.

Big Announcement (changes may come)

Here is a message from Danny.

'Hey guys,
 In talking with Luke and Shane about the future of the band (and my role in it), I have decided that it is best for the band to step aside as the drummer of A.M. It was not an easy decision for any of us to make, but to ensure that the band continues, it was necessary. I wish Shane and Luke the best of luck in the future. I'm thankful for all of the good times that we had as a band, and thankful to have shared them with all of you at a show at some point in time.

Again,

 thank you. I, and the three of us, really appreciate it.'


- Danny



We held off on making this announcement so that we can bring you this news

                                       Welcome Tom to the A.M. !


He will be taking over on drums. I know everyone will show him some love. So make sure you come out and see our next show because we are gonna have a lot of new material as well as some new covers we have never played before.

STAY TRUE DREAMERS!!!

If it's Maria, coming soon!

So we are trying to finish up some songs for you guys to hear ASAP!


We should be releasing ' if it's Maria ' very soon for all of you to hear and download. We are concentrating all of our musical efforts into getting this project done.




Here are some clips of how much fun we are having.

Singles Release

So things have been slow that last month with our crazy life schedules but we have decided on something really cool this past week. Instead of only releasing an EP with 6 songs we will be doing a full length. As to how many songs isn't clear right now. We know this is gonna take some more time than we were expecting but we want to put out all these great tunes that are coming together with the three of us writing and working together.

Want a little sample of whats to come?

We will be releasing two singles for the album No Trespassing & If it's Maria. We are really excited to get everyone's feed back.


Until next time,

Luke

Can you feel the break downs?

Another work in Progress

 Studio update!

We finished up the lead & rhythm guitar parts as well as bass for Your Blood is Not my Blood.

The rhythm parts are done on Luke's Blackstar ht-40 into a 4x12 mesa cab for some boom.  Of course Luke used his favorite pedal the MXR Carbon Copy for both parts. 

Here is Luke's current board

The lead part was done on a Vox AC15 into the 4x12 mesa cab and lots of Carbon Copy.

Here is a sneak peak of Preston mixing the song.

We should be back in the studio soon to start on If It's Maria.
