Hey Everyone,

Long time no update. Things are slow but they are still moving regardless. Devon is making teeth for your grandmother in Syracuse, Nate is job hunting and getting tattooed, & I (DJ) am going back to school, job hunting, and crushing weights.

We are 1 song in to our next record titled “Declared Self Hatred”. We will not have a producer besides the guy who hits the little red “record” button in the control room (Even though that’s just an engineer). As a band we want to challenge ourselves to see what we can come up with between all 3 of us.

Nate and I are on a regular practice schedule here in Ohio. Plus we are just trying to get our lives together. The music we play does not put food on the table, or money in our pockets. With that being said the band will only do a few small tours and various shows a year unless we find investors who will pay our bills. We have been a band for close to 5 years now. If we were going to be as big as Black Sabbath or the Beatles it would’ve happened already.

Does this mean we don’t care about our art? No it means that we are going to better ourselves outside of music so we can put more into the art when it comes time to finally break out. We can’t tour with the flood of garbage bands today. We have a lot of love for a lot of bands but that’s 1 out of every 20 to be exact. So when the flood shallows out and when the garbage is burned and turned to dust we will return in full force. Plus we may all be dead in 4 months anyways.

With the next record we will be doing a short run of copies and the rest will be digital. No one buys music anymore including us unless it’s something we truly like and respect. The Ipod, Droid, and misc Mp3 players have defeated the purpose of hard copy music.

We will be playing a couple shows between October and November unless something crazy comes up.

On the news of currently departed Billy Petyak, we wish him nothing but the best. He knows the door is open when he is able to come back, and destroy eardrums with us. His work has taken all his personal time away to the point of he just physically could not commit to the band. It’s by far the hardest departure to the band I have had to deal with in all 5 years. But we are proud to call him a friend and he will always be a part of this band in some sort of way.

With all this being said………..IMBROGLIO will never stop. We are evolving plain and simple. We will never back down in the face of the music war. But we are recovering, recharging, and upgrading.

Thanks to everyone who has helped us out with shows or bought a cd, shirt, sticker, patch, or button. You are the reasons why we do this besides the fact we would be killing people if we didn’t do this.

A special thanks to Sean Crook at The Path Less Traveled Records for backing us and believing so much in us. If it wasn’t for you we would not be writing this. We are forever in your debt.

Until next time,

-IMBROGLIO
