Apology

On October 1, 2004 we sent an email to everyone on our email list announcing the name of our debut CD 'Diluting The Gene Pool' and that the first song from the album 'Green Lights' is now available to download from our site. We have decided NOT to include 'Green Lights' , 'Acid Moon' or any of our older recordings on the new album.

The newer material is industry "radio-ready" sound quality so we would not be able to mix the old recordings in and maintain continuity. The tracks we recorded previously were intended as demo songs only. We scraped 'Green Lights' anyway, as the band largely considered it to be a joke song.

The other two tracks; Buried Alive & Acid Moon will be re-recorded in the new studio. Buried Alive will be changed to an acoustic - ballad for the new album, and Acid Moon will appear on our second release.

We originally stumbled on this recording idea when we were asked to record a demo for Drive Thru Records. However, in the process, 'Diluting The Gene Pool' became a complete full length studio album that we decided to pursue independently.
