9/8/08 - So a bunch of folks have been asking for "Crash This Train" after seeing Joshua and crew perform the song across the U.S, this past summer. With the intense amount of political happenings out there in the world leading up to the upcoming Presidential election on November 4th, we felt we should get this song out there. Included in the mini EP, is the track "The Garden" which is a song relevent to the aforementioned. "The Garden" was recorded during a batch of new songs Joshua has been working on for his 2nd record coming in 09'.

8/31/07:We have received several
emails from folks trying to buy the record at iTunes this week. For
some digital, cyberspace, invasion of the body snatchers reason,
the record has been "unavailable" for purchase this week.
When you went to complete your transaction, there was an error message
that firmly stuck a middle finger in the air at you. The problem
now appears to be fixed, so it should be available again. Sorry for
the inconvenience. You can venture back over by clicking here:  |
