  • "Halfway" Now Available on Amazon!

    Hi everyone-

    We are very excited to announce that you can hear our new album 'The Way It Was' in it's entirety on Mog right now before it comes out next Tuesday, 5/17!

    We also have a new song available exclusively on Amazon today!! We knew that Halfway was always going to be this record's jam. Basically, we've always loved Peter Gabriel's "Sledgehammer" and wanted to have a song like that for ourselves. I wrote it in Santa Monica, CA in the fall of 2009 at the Warner Chappell Music Publishing building, and to this day, it still jams.






    See you on the road!

  • New Single "You and Me"!

    Hi everyone-

    We have a new song available on iTunes today!! "You and Me" which was originally written in the van on the way to London, England and was demoed by Will at Metropolis Studios in London.






    In this video, we wanted to capture us hanging out together, and figured there was no better city to do it in than Philadelphia. We filmed the video on the run, literally with the cameraman leaning out the back of the van and the music blasting. Also, Alex does a sick tail whip on the cruiser bike.

    Watch the Video HERE!

    We are back on the road with our friends Plain White Ts and we are giving you a chance to get tickets, an autographed guitar and a live chat with us and Plain White Ts, more details here.

  • New Video for "Kiss Me Slowly"!

    Hi everyone-We're incredibly excited to announce our new song and video for Kiss Me Slowly!!!This song came about when I got invited by my good friends Charles Kelly and Dave Haywood from Lady A to write a song together with hopes of getting it cut by a specific singer songwriter we had in mind. However, once the song was finished I liked it so much that I made them promise not to give it to anyone else. I took it to the band to see what they thought and in the end we decided it was exactly what our record needed. The rest is history!
    We wanted to keep the Kiss Me Slowly video very simple and as far from distracting as we could. We filmed it in Philadelphia on the run and teamed up with a local thrift shop to use their furniture. We even found the alley way by just walking around the city looking for a cool location!

    See you on the road!
