Album Release Date

As you well know by now, we finally have a release date for Our Long Road Home : Aug. 5th, 2008. We know many of you were hoping it would be sooner, but we need time to properly set the album up so it can receive the exposure it deserves. Equally, we had a couple more songs we wanted to record and add to the record, which we're doing now. 

We often receive comments from you guys, curious about our label situation; after weighing our options, we felt that it was best for us as a band to forgo the major labels and release the album on our own. After doing our diligence, we found a fantastic company in RED to distribute our record through our management's record label, Velvet Hammer Music. Both companies share the same vision as we do and we really feel like this situation is a great fit for us. Thank you as always for your continued support and we hope to see all of you very soon! -Taproot

Album Teasers

Taproot LIVE!

Taproot is getting back in gear and playing some live shows. Phil flew back to MI last week and the band has started rehearsing for their upcoming shows. The first show we can announce is May 24th we'll be at one of our favorite places to play, The Machine Shop in Flint, MI which has become our adopted home town.

To purchase advance tickets for concerts at THE MACHINE SHOP you can go to the club itself, Paradise Express on Dort Hwy. Flint, Busted Knuckle Underground Clothing, 5880 State St., Saginaw or just simply go to www.etix.com and you can print tickets on your printer. It is very simple and is less costly than other ticket sales companies.

We have a couple more shows we'll be announcing in the next few days, so stay tuned! We can't wait to get back out and play in front of our fans!

NOT just Sirius subscribers....

Sirius channel 20 Octane, has added our new song "you're not home tonight" into early rotation which means it's on 3x a day, but with requests and feedback, that'll go up to like 5x or 6x a day, and maybe lead to bigger and better things... like getting this album out quicker! so if you have any free time, subscriber or not, please help us out by "requesting a song" at www.sirius.com/octane thanks guy's..and gal's- steve
