Hello, hello!
Alright, today we’ve got tons of exciting news to tell you about… (including info about an EARLY RELEASE of our New Album!!) First things first…
>THE NEW ALBUM IS CALLED… “STORYBOARDS”
After months of debate, we’ve finally decided on Storyboards! We tossed around a zillion names throughout the making of this album and it wasn’t until we finished it all up that we knew “Storyboards” was just right!
>PRE-ORDERS/ EARLY RELEASE – THIS MONTH!
Okay, so we’ve been super excited to announce this for a while now.. We decided that before the end of the month (JULY), we are going to start taking pre-orders for Storyboards, and ALL who pre-order the new CD, will also receive a very, very early download of the ENTIRE album IMMEDIATELY!!!
For $14 (includes shipping!), you will receive an immediate MP3 download of our new album, Storyboards.. and will ALSO receive the physical CD, shipped to you as soon as it’s in our hands! (sometime in Aug. when it arrives from the manufacturer)
So, this means that by the end of the month, our new album will finally be available! We are sooo excited for you to hear it!
We will let you know as soon as the pre-orders/early release goes live! Our “official” release date will include the usual suspects: iTunes, LaLa, Amazon.com, etc, all of which will happen in a couple months from now.
>GEOFF BENZING & COVER ART UNVEILING!
We’re so excited to finally take the wraps off of Geoff Benzing’s incredible original painting that is Storyboards’ cover art! We can’t wait for you to see the rest of the album’s artwork as well (which is a continuation of the gorgeous cover piece) Click here to check it below!
To continue our feature on incredible folks that contributed to Storyboards.. today, we’re so excited to write about Geoff Benzing. For those of you unaware, Geoff is a remarkably gifted painter from Kansas. He is responsible for the beautiful watercolor paintings on the “Keep No Score” album cover as well as our website. His work has also been on display at many galleries, events and personal collections throughout the world! We were introduced to Geoff’s work over 3 years ago and in our opinion, Geoff is one of the greatest painters of our generation. If you aren’t familiar with Geoff’s work, you should definitely take a few minutes and soak them in at his website, (obviously, we’re HUGE fans of his watercolors but his talent with any medium seems limitless.) And if you’re already familiar with his work and appreciate his gifts, you may be excited to know that Geoff sells his original paintings via his website! We HIGHLY encourage you to check it all out and consider purchasing.. in addition to the misc. SAL projects that Geoff has painted for, we’ve purchased several other paintings for ourselves and to give as gifts.. and they’re all just so beautiful! Can’t say enough about his talent.
So please check out Geoff Benzing’s work via his website and if you’re in the market to decorate your space, to find an incredible gift, or just want to support one of the greatest painters EVER, definitely consider ordering some of his work!

Hey guys,
I’m suuuuper excited to hear the new album!
One quick thing…every time I try to go to your website it takes me to the Adobe Flashplayer download page. I assumed it was because my computer wasn’t quite up to date on that, so I downloaded it. But I still am not able to get into your website. I’ve tried multiple different computers also, and I’m always brought back to that same adobe page. I’m not sure if it’s supposed to be doing that, or if it’s just me.
Oh, and put one more tally mark for West Michigan! : )
genius. I’ve been saying for so long that this is how albums should be released, congratulations on finishing and starting the revolution at the same time.
