'Holes' Release Date US/UK/Europe | News

Daenen — Thu, 02 Oct 2008 01:49:00 GMT

We can't wait to get our record Holes out to you guys south of the

border and across the pond. We've been getting a lot of messages and

e-mails wondering when that was going to happen. We wish it were going

to be sooner than later, but its going to be the new year before we will

be able to do so.

There's a lot of time, energy, and work that goes into launching a

record and we really need to be able to focus our efforts. This is our

first full length album, coming out around the world and unfortunately

we can't be in all places at once. If we could be, we would be.

We're going to be touring all over the place in the coming months, and

can't wait to see those familiar faces of yours again - not to mention

all the new ones!

We're looking forward, and as always, will keep you posted.

Thanks so much,

Daenen
