Hello to anyone reading this. Mitchell and Devyn here to provide an update, as we realize we have been fairly quiet about what has been going on with our band and our new album, <a href="http://forvalorandvengeance.bandcamp.com/album/9021740" target="_blank">9021740</a>. During the process of recording we had many long and confusing discussions as a band about various topics including our mutual dislike of Dillon (even he agreed), the meaning of life and women's rights (aren't both fairly pointless?), and the fact that it was becoming more and more clear with each track recorded that we needed to put out the best album we can. A decision was made that we would be switching studios to Capital House, the same studio responsible for the recording of our demo (which is still available for free <a href="http://forvalorandvengeance.bandcamp.com/album/demo-2" target="_blank">here</a>). We spent a lot of time making these songs that mean more to us than anything, and feel that to produce anything less than excellent quality would be selling ourselves and anyone who pays us any attention short. As a bunch of broke losers it is quite a bullet to bite financially, but we know it will be worth it, and hope more than anything you will agree as well.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
In other news, we are beginning to perform as a full band for the first time in our entire existence, and we could not possibly be any more excited. So stay tuned, we promise big things are on the way, and do not forget pre-orders are up <a href="http://forvalorandvengeance.bandcamp.com/album/9021740" target="_blank">here</a>.</div>
<br />For Valor And Vengeancehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01162624769269681057noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6763584773292310856.post-50195658034689047082012-05-17T11:55:00.001-04:002012-05-17T11:57:31.699-04:00In which we confused a lot of peopleHey guys, hope all is well. We feel like a lot of you have been getting confused surrounding the release of our new single (which is embedded at the bottom of this post, by the way) and the announcement that "These City Streets, Alone..." would not be available for much longer. Questions like "what?" and "why?" seem to be the most common followed immediately by "huh?" and "What are they talking about?"<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
To first explain the situation with the single- We are in the process of recording a full length album consisting of 7 songs of FVAV goodness with a bonus cover track to those who <a href="http://forvalorandvengeance.bandcamp.com/album/9021740" target="_blank">pre-order,</a> not to mention it's a dollar less if you do, but we digress...We did not just release one song for no reason; this is just the first taste of things to come.<br />
In regards to "These City Streets, Alone...", This is an album we recorded a long time ago when we were not nearly the band we are today in terms of writing, performing, and creativity. That, and the combination of recording under some pretty crazy time constraints (the whole album was recorded in 4 days more or less), Mitchell having a fever and sinus infection the entire time, and the whole band having no sleep whatsoever, have left us with something we just can not be satisfied with. We absolutely appreciate everyone who bothered to check it out of pick up a copy, but that represents probably half of what this band really is, if that. Subsequently we feel that with this new release the smartest thing we can do is disown our old album entirely. In the coming weeks it will start disappearing from Itunes, Spotify, and the like as we prepare for the new album. We hope you all are excited as we are, and that this clears up any confusion that might have been caused. <br />
As always, with much love- FVAV<br />

We have just recently got back home from recording with our good friend <a href="http://www.facebook.com/LXSaudio" target="_blank">Leo Sypniewski</a> (try pronouncing that correctly) near Cleaveland, and we had a blast. The quality we ended up with excited us so much that we've decided to add a seventh song to the EP effectively making it an album, unless you pre-order in which case you receive an eigth bonus mystery cover song. We've completely tracked our new single which will be released in a few weeks and available for free download a few weeks after that, and are planning on going back and finishing the rest of the songs mid June meaning we hope to have this album in everyone's hands mid-late summer and we could not be any more excited. <br />
<a name='more'></a>Perhaps most importantly, we shot some footage of us...we'll call it 'recording' and made a studio update video which you can find posted below, and it includes some clips of our unmixed single. We love you all and can't thank you enough for your support. Most importantly listen to the songs, share this video, <a href="http://forvalorandvengeance.bandcamp.com/album/9021740" target="_blank">pre-order</a> the album, <a href="http://forvalorandvengeance.bandcamp.com/album/demo-2" target="_blank">download</a> our demo for free, pick up some new <a href="http://forvalorandvengeance.bigcartel.com/" target="_blank">merch</a>, tell a friend, ect. -it all helps a group of broke losers make music. <3<br />

We are sitting here near Mentor, Ohio with our good friend and producer having finished recording the first song of the new EP, and the quality is turning out incredibly. We can not wait for everyone to hear it and get it out to all of you. Stay tuned and remember that pre-orders get you a bonus track AND are a dollar less than the EP will cost!

We're super excited and hope you all are as well. It's been a good while since we've recorded anything, and we have a little bit more than an album's worth of never heard<br />
songs<br />
<a name='more'></a> that I think represent our band a lot better than anything we've recorded previously, and that makes me that much more excited! We have 6 brand new songs we're going to be recording and a special seventh song that will only be included with the pre-ordered EP's (and did I mention it's a dollar less if you pre-order?) and we hope to have a single out within a month! All that being said you can click the album cover below for a link to the pre-order, AND I now leave you with the lyrics to the single!<br />

That being said, sites like facebook have never provided a very good platform for long winded explanations or energy drink-inspired rants about nothing. That is why we have created our own blog! So if listening to random dudes from some band go on about things you probably find boring keep checking back here.
