Say hello again...to new reviews!!!

So it's been quite the fortnight (or bazillionight) since we've posted on here, but it's time we take a break for Facebook, Twitter, Myspace, Sonic Bids, steadymacheteband.com, and whatever else I'm forgetting that we've been building up over the months, and post a blog.  We promise to do a better job at this, if you promise to read it.  Deal?  Deal.

Well without doing a whole since-you-last-heard-from-us type of post, let's just get down to business.  Our first, full-length album was just released.  Worldwide, I might add.  How so?  Tunecore.  They are a wonderful little company that allowed us to put our album on every single iTunes store in the world plus Amazon.com, PLUS Amazon On Demand.  All for less than what I spend on a good dinner.  So as of today, you can all go to one of the aforementioned stores, and purchase it.  Or, send us an email and we'll tell you how you can buy it directly from us.

Next up, obviously, would be the reviews.  Two came out today that we've been waiting for anxiously.  Nervously, even.  Being our first "real" album (complete with cover art and credits) we couldn't help but fear what the critics would say.  Luckily, they understand us and we them.

First up from SLUG (Salt Lake Underground) a certain Jon Robertson gives us the most sought after nod in the SLC scene.  The SLUG nod.  Sought after because, from what we've seen, they can be awfully brutal there.  Deservedly brutal, but brutal nonetheless.  So it really tilted our skirts to read his amazing critique.  Especially the one criticism he has, which, honestly we share 100%.  And we're working on fixing that for the next album.  See it here.

Next, also showing its pretty face online today, is the review from IN Utah This Week Magazine.  We love this publication so much.   We are not new to them and they have been giving us respect for some time now by a previous write up, and having us play at their "Scene In SLC Party."  Which was one of our best shows to date.  Spencer Sutherland goes a little further in the way of reviews as he tells his opinion of what we're good at.  We liked that a lot, and are taking that to heart.  You can find that here.

So now that we got the reviews we hoped for, we're now going to be taking an official band picture tomorrow which will complete our EPK.  This is vitally important since this is the final week to submit to South by South West music festival.  A dream since I first saw a documentary on it years ago.  I can't describe how amazing it would be to get chosen, and how well we'd fit in down there.  We truly believe that.  So wish us luck!!!
