New blog entry! All about Europe and it's expensive-ness. Needless to say, this is a pretty awesome blog entry full of great photos!!
Also, the other day I was informed about an article written about the upcoming release!

Ruth's sophomore album has apparently been moved up to October 28th from it's original November 11th release date.. It has also been retitled Anorak (a person who has an unfathomable interest in something, and feels compelled to talk at length about it) and was produced by Aaron Sprinkle. They will be shooting a music video next month. Here's a look at the early tracklisting.
1. Hibernation Pieces

2. Back To The Five

3. Who I Was And Who I Am

4. Rolling With The Punches

5. Hearts 'N' Sleeves

6. Pure Concept

7. Forgetting To Remember

8. Nothing To Hide

Dustin posted a bulletin in the early hours this morning:

"hey friends its dustin with a studio update"

ok so its 230 am i went to bed at 130 and i cant sleep. i could say its because im super excited about the new record weve been recording but i have to add that i drank a giant coca cola at like 900 pm right before "the alaska experiment". Very good show by the way. Anywho, since im up really late and trying to get tired i thought i would let you all know that we have been in the studio for about 4 weeks all day everyday pretty much recording.

Im super happy with how things are coming out. i should be sleeping because i have two songs to sing tomorrow and our deadline is friday but whatev. i cant help it. the caffeen. man i cant spell caffine and my computer keeps underlining it with the red squigglys. whatev, anyway maybe those songs will sound sleepy. it might work because one of them is all about being on the road in a van, and flying on airplanes and stuff and it can be really tiring.

well we have three more days with chris keene from surrogate and our wizard friend kelsey smith then its off to seattle for a couple songs with Aaron sprinkle.

what to expect? theres a lot of drums, some guitars and bass, and vocals. its really great. I believe the album will come out Nov 4th. but obviously well get some tracks up a lot sooner to give you a listen. hopefully you vote for us this election year. we could use the indie vote.

Photography by ©Renee McMahon

Air 1 (92.7 in Vancouver) added Ruth's latest single, "You Are!" Air 1 is the largest CHR station on the west coast!
Aside from calling in to request "You Are," Air 1 has a listener feedback poll where you can rate songs on their current rotation. This is more than just a contest to involve the audience, they really do use these as research and the results have a significant effect on radio play.

So please, go here to sign up for Air 1's survey- "You Are" is on the current survey, and every vote they can get is great! They do not list band's names so just look for the song title.

Also,Way-FM (93.5 in Vancouver), the largest CHR station is also playing "You Are," and has been hugely supportive of Ruth. Please tune in, and if you are willing thank the station for their support of Ruth!

">Vote for Ruth in Jesusfreak Hideout's Reader Choice awards.
If you don't see Ruth as a choice, you can always write them in!
