First off, I would like to say that I am extremely fortunate to be working with so many talented and fun individuals. With so many ongoing projects, I get to hang out with different people pretty much everyday.

Over the past few days we completely sold out of the first run of Bear’s Den shirts. There were almost 30 left going into this week, and they are now all gone. They were sold to raise money to help with medical bills for one of our Franchise Players here at the Den, Steve Furtado. I can’t thank everyone enough for stepping up and helping out. I am already working on getting a bunch more of them, along with tank tops and sweatshirts also.

As far as whats been going on at the studio, I am finishing up mixing a bunch of projects, which is perfect because a whole slew of new ones just got started.

A band called Shred of Salvation finished up tracking their 3 song demo a couple weeks ago, and I am in the final stages of the mixing. If things go according to schedule, I am hoping to have it finished up by next week.

Sayings came in and finished up the vocals for one of their songs, so me and Justin are going to attempt to bang that out next week also.

Last week Homecoming, a new band from RI came in and began tracking 5 songs. We got all the drums laid down, and they are coming back in tonight to work on Bass and Guitars. This band features Tristan Bradshaw from 80-SS and Unsung.

The band Collision has made a reappearance back into the studio. They are recording 3 new songs, of which we finished all of the drum tracking for. They have cassettes made of the last demo we did, if you are interested contact them via their facebook page here.

Another new project is a band tentatively called Artrageus, formerly known as Pride of The Atlantic. They spent last weekend in the den, and we just about wrapped up their new demo. They will be returning next week to finish up some vocals and final touches. This band features Andrew Davis of Sun of Sound and Something About Horses

The Mojo Kick EP is 99% done. I am just waiting on the final notes from the band to see if there are any final changes they want made before mastering. So excited about getting this out. I have been listening to it a lot. They are actually coming into the studio on the 28th to work on a little something something to help spread the word about the new album. The project is going to be a collaboration with Incognito Mosquito and Drift Design Studios.

Tomorrow Sic Vita returns to the studio to record a song. It’s been a while since i’ve seen these guys and i’m looking forward to working with them again.

The last update that I can think of, is the band Something About Horses finished tracking everything for their EP. I will begin mixing that one very soon.
