Mixing:
The engineering was done in Zach's basement in a room totally not equipped for recording music. However, this is where we started recording as friends so it only seemed fitting. So with what little knowledge we knew about mic placement and recording techniques, we tracked ourselves. The mixing was handled by a dear friend, a brother, who chose to remain anonymous. He crafted our mess into something truly inspiring, he worked incredibly hard and we just want to thank him for all his help throughout it all!

Artwork:
The album had two original drawings before we settled on the photo you see now. I want to personally thank the artists who gave us amazing options to begin with; Emmy Feinberg and Victor Boyda. If you ever need graphic design of any kind, I couldn't recommend anyone finer. The picture you see is from when Zach was studying abroad; it's a picture of the bridge in Budapest that was severely distorted from a shaky hand. Supposedly he was laughing. We thought that it looked great, and really represented a lot of what our band represents. So ultimately, we chose to go with a photo for the personal touch. But seriously, if you ever need graphic design: Emmy Feinberg and Victor Boyda, they are incredible!

Special Thanks:
Our families have been amazing for all of this; truly inspiring us to keep at it. They've been demanding a product for months now, and I'm happy to say it's finally here! They've endured late nights of loud music, filled with errors, while we tracked. So thank you for seeing the potential and sticking with us through it all!

Thank you to our awesome friends who have given us feedback every step of the way, who came to our shows, and who've been the voice of reason in our project. The music and us owe you so much of who we are.

Music programs across the country; without you we would have never met. The band formed as what I call affectionately a "supergroup". Zach, Brandon, and I (David) played on and off through high school in various projects. Zach and I learned our instruments together basically, and Brandon was there in my roots in jazz. We all gigged and played constantly. Simultaneously, Patrick and Sam were doing the same in their own right. Patrick and I are best friends, and played all the time for fun but never put anything together. It wasn't until college that we plugged everyone together when Zach, Brandon, and I were in a band called The Naked Cherrypickers. I was playing bass and decided to switch to guitar and vocals and bring in Patrick to play bass. He insisted on bringing Sam, and we never looked back since. I look back fondly at our first jam on "I Think I Like It", it was a great great moment. So thank you to high school music programs, who gave us an outlet and a way to meet. A chance to hone skills that can only provide something positive!
