January 21, 2011 – Eva Radio Edit Release

Ladies and Gentlemen, the time has come for the release of our updated version of Eva!

We went into the studio late November to re-record “Eva” for a compilation disk that will be released in the next few months (more info on that later) and also for distribution to many different radio stations across Canada.

With these exciting things happening in the next few months we wanted to reward our die-hard fans with an advanced release of the track! You guys kick ass and motivate us to do what we do so this pre-radio release of the track is for you guys.

Also, don’t forget to sign up to our mailing list at the top right of the page if you haven’t already. And if you like what you here check out the details for our show tomorrow at Brixx.

Enjoy & Rock on!
