Hey all! Just checking in. Thanks to all who saw us a few weeks back at Opus. Was a great night. Show announcements coming soon, but for now we're working on new music and finishing up the video for our most recent single "Collectors."
4.12.19
Our new single "Collectors" is now available at http://iwasawake.bandcamp.com as well as on the "MEDIA" tab on this site.
This is a tune that we're very proud of. "Collectors" is a song has come out of a lot of things both involving and surrounding us; changes in our lives, the people we care about, and society as a whole. We feel that the sounds and words speak to that.
So thanks again for reading and listening, we have a lot of new music to share in the near future and we hope you enjoy what we've been up to.

Today marks one year since Chris Cornell passed. Being an important musical inspiration to us, we felt compelled to honor him in some way. While preparing new I Was Awake material in the studio, we decided to record this song as well, having played it at a few shows following his death. Here is our version of Soundgarden's “Mailman”. Go snag a download, and though no payment is required, we are donating any and all proceeds to the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention.
