**BulletProof Messenger - Arm Yourself Shipping Now!**
www.myspace.com/bulletproofmessenger
1/5/09 - Hmm 09? odd. Anyway, our official listening session and "album release" date will be Jan. 10th 2009 at 2pm Eastern Standard Time. To join the listening session and chat, go to Thelisteningsession.com and we hope to see you there. Special thanks to logical one for setting this up!
12/11/08 - Holy Crap - It's Done... Written, Recorded, Mixed and Mastered... phewwww. Now, how would i describe this album in 1 word.... probably reallyfriggenloud, and yes, thats one word. Anyway, we will be sending the final MP3s over to HQ later today and that is that.. All we need to do is get it duplicated... and Done, now we can retire - not quite. Rehearsal and touring time!
12/03/08 - Dare i say 1 day left??? Yes, I do. Friday will be the LAST day of mixing and to say the least, these songs have come out even more rockin than our demo's could have predicted. We have confirmed Howie Weinberg for mastering at Masterdisk in NYC on Dec 10th. So at that point we can officially say, the journey has come to an "end"... for now.... At that point, we will be shipping our Master to SAB and then duplication and the listening party some time in early Jan!!! (or maybe earlier if we can convine sab to let us share it all with you!!!)
We are also offering a leak, yes, a very real leak to hear the ENTIRE album before the listening party!!!! We have a limited number of cds of our own stock available at www.myspace.com/bulletproofmessenger, and anyone who picks up one of those will receive a signed copy at a discounted price as well as the WHOLE album via mp3 on Decmber 12th!!! Possibly a whole month early ;)
Anyway, thank you all for the support and patience, and once again, we assure you, you will be quite pleased!!
Rock!
11/17/08 - Well, heres some news, tracking is pretty much done!! Starting this week (thursday) we will begin our mixing process which will take roughly 12 - 15 days days to get it completed. Then, mastering - we still are hunting for the right mastering guy but hopefully that will take place on dec 10th and then just around the corner is the listening session!
11/7/08 - Figure its about time for another update. So its been a few weeks since we've hit the studio and if you have been checking youtube, we have a bunch of videos posted. Drums are done being tracked, bass is done, the majority of guitar is finished (just a few solos to go) and vocals are pretty far along. Over the next few weeks we will finalize the tracking process as well as the necessary editing to make everything as tight as possible. Then the "fun" part - mixing. The LE album will consist of 11 full lengh tracks and 2 extended intro tracks. Currently we are shopping for mastering engineers to polish the final album if all goes as planned, towards early december which means hopefully a listening session just around the corner!!
Thanks again for everyone's support and patience and if you are interested in picking up a signed advance copy of our private stock, head to our myspace!
Rock!
10/22/08 - a new video has been posted of our studio tour! Also, we will be posting a new video tonight... stay tuned!

10/19/08 - Hey all, so we are currently sitting in the studio after an extremely successful first 2 days. We have tracked all of the drums for the album and are currently in the process of editing them and then we should be getting outa here some time around 11pm tonight. We will be starting guitar on either monday or tuesday and lucky for all of you, our buddy nick has been taping the whole process and taking some pix as well which of course we will be sharing with you in the upcoming days, as soon as he edits all the footage together. Besides that, the studio is pretty cool, and its been a great time so far. Hopefully all goes as well in the following days. Check back for updates.
10/13/08 - BPM Private Stock + Studio Countdown!!!
So, our good buddy luke spilled the beans (apparently he wants a flex fit hat) - Yes, we have a few copies of the LE coming to our door which have been cleverly deemed our "Private Stock" - man that makes us sound classy, like vintners - tho we are not, as many of you know. In addition we are reserving these "Signed Limited Editions" which will be shipped right through your door at : www.myspace.com/bulletproofmessenger
Of course we do not wish to take away potential sales from any of our believers, but figured some of you may be interested in picking up that extra "signed copy" that you weren't able to get because of our "max part" goal. Tho thank you for that, 1171 believers.. woo hoo! Plus there are so many new faces by the day that may not have had a chance to buy in, we cant even keep track of the growth. And yes, there is also a section to reserve a copy of the standard edition (which if you ask nicely we may even sign that for you too - shhhhhhh dont tell anyone - just for you sab folks)
With all that cool business stuff said, the countdown begins till we hit the studio... October 18th is day 1!! This past month has been crazy, between finalizing the songs, prepping art work, working out all the details, its just nuts. Hopefully all goes according to schedule and we should have some pretty cool studio videos for you guys shortly as our good buddy is filming the whole experience for us and you! Hopefully we can figure out how to get this all hosted somewhere so you can check it all out!
Thanks again for everyone's support and patience and let the countdown begin!
9/29/08 - It's gettin a bit closer to that date..October 18th.. needless to say, we're relatively anxious to get in there and record this album. This weekend we all sat down and pretty much finalized most of the tracks and adjusted some others. As you probably have noticed above, we have decided on an album title "Arm Yourself", which we think is cool since its not quite meant in the literal "military" sense. And assuming all goes as planned this album should be available December of 2008. In addition, we have decided not to make this album as "cut and dry" as the last one.. We intend to include some elements to make the album more of an experience for the listener. Which, youll have to pick up to find out! This being said, things are going well on our end and we are counting down the days!
9/16/08 - Well hello again, seems its time for another update. On Monday the band had its official meeting to decide the album tracks. While some of the guys were in NY, others were Maryland and other parts of the country which called for a nice ichat with video.. (needless to say clothes were optional for some of the members - take a guess who)... After much debate a total of 10 tracks were selected for the album. Although there were more to choose from and many songs we liked, we had to obviously cut it down to 10 for budget and time sake, but who knows, maybe well release the others later as some type of special. Anyway, these next 2 weeks we plan on finalizing the tracks and getting them recorded exacly the way we want to have done in the studio - its harder than you think having 6 guys with different musical tastes agree. We plan on some vocal rewrites, some new arrangements, etc. etc.. The weeks after that - starting October 1st - will consist of memorizing these songs and preparing ourselves for tracking which starts on Saturday October 18th! We are extremely excited to get into the studio and crank our a serious album for everyone. Stay tuned and feel free to comment any time! Elvis has left the building...
8/26/08 - Recording Has Been Scheduled!!!! We have reached an agreement with "the cutting room" in NYC to record our SAB Album. Pre-Production will be completed within September and tracking of the album will begin in October. Check back for more details and potentially some studio videos and footage of our tracking sessions. Thanks again for everyone's support and patience and rock on. - Oh and check out our bulletin for a little 'contest"

7/31/08 - So heres the status update as of july 31st... alooooot has been going on so we apologize for not updating the site more frequently, however for us its either write a great album for all our believers, or tend the website on a regular basis... So we chose the 1st since thers only so many hours in the day...we have about 10 tracks written and are in the process of completing about 5 more before making our final selections of which tracks are going to be "album worthy" to say the least, as of now these songs are definitely something different than the 1st album, but with many of the similar qualities. You will be happy to find that the album is coming out with a very diversified array of songs. Also, for your listening pleasure... we will be uploading some teasers within the next week!! so stay tuned for those.... thanks to everyone for being so patient with this process and by december you should have one killer album ready to make everyone alot of dam money on your doorstep!
5/1/08 So heres an update.... of course as most people have read in the tribune a few weeks back, we have paired with Ron Saint Germain to do our 2nd release. Should be a pretty crazy one. We're about 1/2 done with writing the tracks and need to finish that and then get on with pre-pro and doing the whole additional production angle of it. We just returned from a nice little roadtrip to Albany NY, to do a live performance on air and interview which mind you we chatted about SAB for a bit as well. In addition, there was also an interview about us in a paper in which we mentioned SAB more times than you could imagine :). So hopefully this press helps everyone. Anywyas, later this week, or weekend, we will potentially be posting "teasers" on the site. Figure about a 30 second clip of 3 songs that we have recently written.. of course not "studio quality" but pretty good non the less. Check em out.. leave comments and let us know what you think.. rock on SAB
3/27/08 Hey all... we're back... (or actually taking a breather from our writing in alabama). Seems like theres some big moves going on round here and a lot of cool new artists (and believers which we probably haven't even met). Anyways, to fill you all in (if you were interested). We are down in Alabama tryin to write the rest of the album. We have about 10 songs written (instrumentally) and are working on doing up more to have some options for later. Also, courtesy of Adam "the man" Sieff we have some cool meetings set up for producers and will keep everone posted on how that goes. Also, check our blog for a sweeeet story!
2/20/08 - Well i just realized im writing the dates US style vs European... anyways just a funny tidbit to start with. I know its been a long time since we've updated but we have been very busy between trying to get in some of the last shows before recording, and working on the new tracks.
As of recently we have paired up with the man himself, Adam Sieff, in our "producer search". We have sent a nice long list as well as 25 of our cds to the lovely people at SAB in hope of finding the right producer for our project. As of now we have positive confirmation from both Eric Valentine - Lost Prophets, and David Bendeth - Breaking Ben, Killswitch etc. Although these are both great opportunities, we intend to see what else comes to fruition before actually making a definite decision.
With YOUR money, we want to produce the best quality album possible so that includes great songs and great recording quality. As far as where our writing stands, as of last month we had a few tracks that we were workign on and are working on some vocal ideas for them. Typically we like to hear the instrumentals for a month or two and really let them sink in before layering vocals on it to ensure they are of top quality on the instrumental level. Plus, once the producer is found we will run everything by them for their input as well.
In addition to this we are trying to get in some of the last shows of the season, we have one on Feb 23rd in Albany (and its free for those of you who wish to come show some support) and one later on in March. Anyway, stay tuned for updates and feel free to make our message board look a bit more active!!!!
1/18/07 - So this morning (quite early) we had our initial conversation with Johan regarding our intentions and direction for the album, ie, what can SAB do to really make us successful. Topics of discussion included what producers we wanted to use, potential album release date, how many tracks, how much extra content if any, will we be needing booking, etc. I have to say it was a productive conversation and we will be sending out 25 cds to be shopped around for various producers/managers and agents. Potential release date is still unknown as there is a lot of work and plans to lay out before actually getting to that. So far so good...
12/29/07 - Over the past week after hitting the 50k the band has come together to take the first step at creating this album, going through the raw songs we have recorded. The group met to review all the rough ideas and to get a sense of what direction we wanted to take the album. To say the least it looks very promising from this early stage. Later in the week we started to dive a little deeper into the rough tracks to see what we had to work with, a broad overview and some edits and re-recording of various parts. So at this point we are deciding what is worth working on and trying to develop our selections to the 2nd stage...
To give everyone a brief overview of our process typically the band works in stages, getting rough versions of the songs laid down and then slowly developing them to the final versions through a series of edit/production/writing waves (as we record our songs and parts as we go for ease of future editing and production). Generally, the band does the majority of the production before getting into the studio to save on budget and time and get the most quality out of this album.

Hey! Ever show we choose a track from a Sellaband album to promote at our show.

Please feel free to ask believers or befriended artists to vote for you for even more airplay! More information is at the Forum: http://forum.sellaband.com/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=12756 (remove spaces in URL) Happy listening, Crew of TalentCast, www.talentcast.nl
Hi, I wrote a protest song "The Road" and I would like to invite you to listen to it. I think you might like it... And in case there is no other song you like more, would you like to vote for it in the SellaBand Protest Song Contest? It is in a poll on the forum, so it's just a mouse click. Here's the thread: http://forum.sellaband.com/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=12540&st=0&sk=t&sd=a (remove spaces), and all the protest songs have been linked there in the same playlist, so it's easy to listen to them all! I hope you will take part in the voting! Catself
Yo guys - good to meet you Sunday night. Been listening to the CD and like it. I'll be in touch regarding getting a show together.
don't get me started on sound guys. Almost every show people tell me "you should sing louder, i couldn't hear you" - yes, I'll sing louder, that's the problem. haha.
You guys definitely pulled it off. I had a buddy with me that really doesn't like live music and he enjoyed it, so that's usually a good sign. I know how it goes though...you think everything was a mess but no one in the crowd even notices. haha. I honestly thought it sounded good. Everything seemed a little bass heavy (guitar tones were tough to hear), but beyond that it was on point. Chito (our drummer) may have picked up tickets from MTP already, but if not, we'll grab em from you in advance (we also know how that goes). -Chris
what's up guys - caught your show at Ollies Point last weekend. Great show. I was gonna say what's up afterwards, but you guys looked like you were pretty busy running around. Probably gonna head down to your next gig at The Vibe Lounge. I know my drummer has been wanting to check out Me Talk Pretty for a while now, so you should see us there. Take it easy, Chris
