How was working in a studio? And, dare I ask it, for those curious about perhaps taking their own dreams and one day finding themselves in a professional studio, about how much did that first trip to the studio cost?

Neill: Depending on which you consider first, both were free, the second because we won the time in a local band comp - good way to go if you don't have any expectations!

Tristan: it really depends on how good you want it to sound... personal experiences though - cheapest song to record: $600. Most expensive: $5000.

What was the next step after the studio? After reading your bio on your myspace page I noticed that you seem to have achieved a fair amount of radio play for your two singles, "Good Mourning Lullaby" and the newer song, "Hope For Us All?" Was it difficult to get yourself noticed by the media?

Neill: Yes and no. We have a fairly good relationship with a few radio stations and promotional agencies, which we've built from back when we released "GML". Suffice to say "Hope" was a much easier release because we knew who to talk to get things done.

Neill: We're in a bit of strange place right now in that we're moving progressively away from what’s on myspace with the exception of "Hope". We're hitting the studio in December to record a five to six track EP that we hope to have out early next year. Point is, most of what we're playing right now is not available in any way, shape or form to we are really relying on the strength of the music to hook people from a first listen live. Having people come up to us after a show commenting on particular songs seems to reinforce this is actually working!

And on that note (or typed-in answer, as it were) we shook electronic hands and parted for the moment.

I only hope that I’ve managed to string enough coherent words together through the haze of Nyquil to inspire even a handful of people to head on out to their myspace page and check them out. Should I accomplish that, you see, their music will do the rest and have those people telling their friends to check it out, and so on and so on...
