So sometime in the New Year there will be a finished These Four Walls album and we will be releasing more information at that time about how and when you can get your hands on it. Obviously we will playing a bunch of shows too, so there’s plenty to look forward to. Until then have a great summer, we’re looking forward to getting back on stage in 2012!

We’ve had an awesome year so far. Highlights for us were playing an epic show to packed room at the Shihad afterparty in Waihi beach, touring Australia with our good friends Bellusira, and touring the North Island with Ivy Lies. Of course our big highlight of the year was supporting Disturbed, Trivium and As I Lay Dying for three shows in May. We had such an amazing time on the road with those guys, were treated so well, and we ate and drank like kings.

Our next big goal for the second half of 2011 is to write and record our second full-length album. Songwriting has been going on since the start of the year and pre-production started last week, with our producer Matthew Bartlem (Dead Letter Circus, Thousand Needles in Red) who flew over from Queensland for a few days to blast though some tracks. We managed to work through about 9-10 songs and things are sounding promising.

Later in the year we’ll be heading over to Loose Stones Studios on the Gold Goast to knock out the album. Unfortunately this means there probably won’t be any These Four Walls shows for the rest of 2011. Don’t worry, we’ll be back in 2012, a little older, a little wiser, and probably a lot louder.

Hope you can wait that long.
