We are extremely proud of the new album and hope you guys like it as much as we do. You can listen to a few tracks from the new CD (and some from our first cd) for free at http://www.myspace.com/circledbyhounds

Anyway, I thought I'd update you guys on what we've been up to in the last few months.

Enjoy the music.
