Behold, I come bearing glad tidings of great joy: we have officially wrapped up recording of our intro album, adam lay ybounden. (Although I reserve the right to change up the styling, italicization, and capitalization of that album title)…

I have been super excited because twenty one pilots are releasing a new album, only a year after dropping Clancy. I went to see them live during the Clancy tour, and it was one of the best shows I've ever…

There's a lot going on in the world today. Pope Francis passed away at the age of 88. It is the Easter Octave, and so the Church still celebrates the Resurrection with full liturgical solemnity through Sunday. And, much less…

A recent controversy was stirred up on social media when Russel Brand, one of several celebrities to endorse the Hallow app, tweeted about Andrew Tate:

As usual, there was a firestorm of tweets about how Andrew Tate was not actually…

Yesterday, we held Catholic Punk Revival 2.0 at the Mary, Help of Christians festival. Our band, as well as Paperjam from Cincinnati, played a bunch of punk and emo music as people hung out and did normal parish festival stuff…

It's already been almost a month since we released the Ashes for my Valentine EP. That's incredible. After a slog of work to get it recorded and edited, and without really knowing what we were doing, we actually released music…

Really thrilled to have the Ashes for my Valentine EP finished in time to release today. It was a crunch to get all the recording and editing done in just two weeks, but with the time and resources that we…

Recording is interesting. We're working on a low budget, since none of us are doing this as a full-time job, and none of us are rich. Luckily, we live in an age where basic, decent recording equipment and software are…

The first purpose of our band was to play at two parish festivals. This was a clear, achievable goal, and we planned our practices around it. We picked set lists of songs that people would recognize and sing along to…
