Hey All,

It's been a while since we posted a new blog so I'd like to give everyone an update as to what's new in the TFE world!

As everyone knows, Marc stepped down from the band in the fall. We've been playing as a four piece or with fill in guitarists for the time being. We're currently jamming with guitarist Aaron Hoff. Aaron played in my old band (Menile). He's been great live and it's been awesome hanging with him again! We're gonna keep on Rock'n with him and see where things go. Please pray for us and Aaron as we move forward.

In the mean time, we've been recording songs for our upcoming EP which is still untitled. We put up a new song titled "The Distance" on the myspace. We recorded this song with our buddy Grant Beachy at Electric Angel Studios in Goshen, Indiana. We think that he did a great job on it. Please check it out and let us know what you think! We plan on putting up a new song every few weeks so stay tuned!

It's definitely been a transition period for us these past few months. We are currently restructuring our sound and we couldn't be more excited to share the results with you. There will definitely be a darker edge to some of it with more of a focus on strong vocal melodies. Most of the demo is complete. We'll be finishing vocals soon then we should be able to release it in the late winter or early spring. We'll post more info about the new songs and the album as it becomes available.

Please remember to check out our latest videos on TFEtv! (www.youtube.com/thisfiresembracetv) We'll be posting new studio footage frequently.

I hope everyone is having an awesome new year so far!

Josh
