A great celebration is in order, as we have finally managed to get our website launched!

Please bear with us over the next couple weeks as we tweak some bugs and continue to flesh out the site. The plan is to add all kinds of press pics and review clippings to each of the individual band profiles and tighten up all the other areas of the site, so within the next month or so this beast will be a full-blown press machine.
