Hello friends, family, fans and music lovers.

On Monday 1st October 2012, Justin Bernasconi, Ben Franz, Edmondo Ammendola and I arrived at Applewood Lane Studios, Fernvale, in Queensland to start work on our third studio album.

Over the five days we recorded thirteen songs.

After returning to Melbourne we tried on numerous occasions to finish the remaining vocal and guitar tracks to no avail, so we decided to fly back up to to Applewood in January to finish the album.

Over Autumn, Ben mixed the whole album in Melbourne, and Adam Dempsey mastered the album with his fine post production skills.

Over May, June and July we’ve released and toured two singles from the new album - ‘Break And Keel’ and ‘Feel So Young’.



But now we’re asking you for some help. To keep our ship afloat, we need to raise funds manufacture 1000 copies of ‘Never Go Your Way’ on CD and to service press and radio within Australia before September! Our target is $2500!

We’re offering pre-release digital and physical copies of the Never Go Your Way, T-shirts and a few more goodies in return for your support.

Budget Breakdown.
Manufacture of CDs - $1897.50
Servicing Radio and Print Media with Australia - $427.50
Pozible - $175.00

Thanks very much to taking time to check out our project.
