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.

Recording Session June 8th

Drums are done! 

                                    Here's Danny taking it off!

                                                           It's heating up in here.

All and all everything is sounding really good we can wait to get in there to get the bass and guitar stuff done.

Stay Tuned dreamers

Bloomsburg Show 4/28/12

4/28/12

 Do not ask to stop because you have to pee. Especially if it's the side of the road. We will video tape it and laughing. Followed by driving off.


We played an awesome show with our favorite band to hang out with, The GoAround. If you haven't checked them out what are you waiting for?



I caught Alex singing to Kelly Clarkson like it's his job.

Awaking Mercury did a stripped down set of just Shane and Luke performing some of their songs from Head for the Indies acoustic. Got to see some great people that we played for last time at this venue and we got to meet some new faces.  Traveling in The GoAround's big red van they named Clifford, is always a lot of fun.  Can't wait for the next show with these guys.
