SONG THAT BEST REPRESENTS YOUR BAND (and why): I think our song Constellation has a good mix of a lot of the elements that make up our band. It has a fun hefty guitar riff that muscles it’s way through the song, a straight up pop style hook in the chorus, and a looped ending that basically turns into a drum solo, haha.

NUMBER OF DMF APPEARANCES (and years): I believe we have been lucky enough to play DMF the last four years, 2009, 2008, 2007, 2006. It’s always a great time not only performing, but seeing a lot of friends out and about.

In Stereo EP (2006)

Bonneville Self-titled EP (2005)

*SONGS THAT BEST REPRESENT US:

We just completed a new song titled “The Uniform”. We think this song best
represents us for a number of reasons. It’s a song that began with a simple
chord progression that we’d been toying around with about a year. Then at a
band practice a few months ago, we started jamming on the idea, and ended up
creating an entire arrangement. Ryan had some vocal melodies in the works
and at the next practice we spent about two hours collaboratively finishing
the lyrics and creating the vocal melodies. Ryan leads sings the song, while
Kevin, Nick, and I sing backup harmony. The song is a great example of the
direction we’ve been moving in with our songwriting. More collective
creativity and contribution from every member. We just love to share ideas
and build off of each others strengths.

NUMBER OF DMF APPEARANCES: This will be our first appearance at DMF

LATEST NEWS:
We’ve been playing shows as often as possible to promote our latest release
*Drawing Maps*. The summer went really well, and we’re going into fall with
several shows in Columbus and Dayton. We’ll be playing at Canal St. Tavern
with Vanity Theft on November 12th. We’re really looking forward to that
show. We’re already thinking about recording a new album as well. We’ve
written two new songs since the release of *Drawing Maps* and have a lot of
ideas that we’re excited to start working on. We’re considering recording
the album at Reel Love Studios in Nashville, and having Patrick Himes be our
engineer/producer. Nothing is set in stone, but we’re scheming.

PLANS FOR 2011:
Hopefully we’ll be releasing a new album. We’ve been talking about creating
a list of labels to shop a new record to. We have lots of ideas on how to
keep moving forward and take it to the next level. We’re hoping to make our
way back down to South Carolina sometime next year to play with our friends
Sequoyah Prep School. The first time we played down there we had a great
time and made a lot of new fans. We’ll have to wait and see what’s in store.
