NEWS


Hello everyone,
We just posted 4 new songs that are demos from the 2008 RPM Challenge. WE MADE IT for a third year and completed the challenge submitting 10 new songs to the Wire offices on March 1st. It's really a good feeling to have that behind us as completed. It was a lot of lost sleep due to long nights recording but we feel well worth what we ended up with. Next up we will be taking several songs form the RPM Challenge and (now that we have time as needed) we will be havign them re-recorded and mastered professionally for posting on the various downloading sites (including iTunes).
We hope you enjoy the new demos. Thanks for all of the support!
Be safe,
Prophit motive

Gabe is just an illusion

All of Gabe's bass lines are mine. I wrote them. I mean, I don't want to make an issue about it but give credit where credit is due. They're great aren't they? I had to use telepathy (and a lot of it)...
