Anberlin Post Studio Update

By 1 Comment

Anberlin has posted an updated from the studio. Check it out below.

well i cant promise i am going to do this for the entire recording process but i am so enthusiastic right now. met back with neil today we went over the 29 songs we have and i think we narrowed it down to… 28. we love all the songs, we have enough for 2 records, maybe we will do a “kid a/amnesiac” thing. who knows.
as for me i’m stuck lyrically. when you try to write 29 songs lyrically you find yourself topically working in circles, i only go through so much in one year, but needlessly i have dedicated myself to begin searching books, art, and friends for new directions.
i found out lenord cohen is going to be practicing at our practice space this weekend. wow.
i just want to live at that studio from now on.
rufus w. is playing as i type this here in LA tonight, but i am on my computer tonight trying to keep up with these blogs and friends back home.
hope this update finds you well!

The New Regime Post New Song

By Leave a Comment

The New Regime have posted a new song on their MySpace page. A new song will be posted when they reach 20,000 plays or 2,000 total friends. Check out a full updated below.

As I have said in previous bulletins, The New Regime’s first week was a success. But now we’re on to week two and I’ve uploaded a new song for you all called “Haunt My Mind”. If you think waiting an entire week for a new song is a pain in the ass, well here’s something we can do about that. Each week I’ll set a quota for either total plays or friends, and once those quotas are met, I’ll immediately upload a new song. How those quotas are met is up to you! There will only be three songs up at a time, so it’ll be up to you once again to decide which song gets booted off when it’s time for a new one. Thanks to the fantastic people at megalolz.com, there will be a poll/discussion thread in due time. Let’s be bold here and set the quotas at either 20,000 total plays, or 2,000 total friends. Considering how great last week was, I’m pretty confident that you can all make either of these (or both) happen! Get creative and spread the word any way your clever minds desire. Thanks for all the help so far, especially the “The fans of The New Regime” (www.myspace.com/thenewregimefans) and the “The New Regime Street Team” (www.myspace.com/tnrstreet). Leave any messages and comments as usual. Help me make this week better than the last one!
