Mia & I recently sat down with the folks from the BuzzCutz this week for an informal chat/interview about life, music, etc ;) Check out the mp3 file attached to this entry to listen to the podcast episode which also features a sneak peek of "Cemetery Gates", one of the songs from the upcoming CD.

We're excited, and even though the song isn't completely finished yet, you get a good idea of how things are coming along ... PLUS this is the world premier of Brandon Hensley's drumming on this single. So you gotta listen... and leave some love in the comments for Brando..
