Tune into MTV tonight @ 10PM. Our song “No One Has To Know” will be featured on Teen Mom 2. You can download the song, and our entire “Hemophiliac” EP HERE While we’re on the subject of teen mom’s, Planned Parenthood is a great place to find out info on sex, STD’s, birth control, and pregnancy options. They are not the abortion factory some people make them out to be. They are here to help prevent unintended pregnancies, and to help you protect yourself with knowledge. Sex education is invaluable and I feel lucky to have known the facts when i was younger. You can visit their website HERE, and remember, no glove, no love! As for us - We’ve been busy finalizing mixes on our new full length album, and we are super excited about what we’ve created. We’ll have more info on its release coming soon over the next couple months, so keep in touch with us! Hope you’re staying warm this Winter and we’ll see you soon! Love, Chris / Mean Creek

New Album Spring 2012

Hello Friends,

I can’t tell you all how happy I am to say that after 4 months of writing a whole batch of new songs in the practice space with my 3 best friends/3 favorite musicians in the world, our recording dates are booked! It all starts December 28 @ 1867 Recording Studio with the loveable Chris McLaughlin. As far as the new songs, we’ve learned a lot from one another these past 3 years of being a band, and it continually amazes me how we all work together, stay in tune with one another, and remain close friends. These new songs are by far the best we have ever made as a band. I’ve been playing guitar since i was a kid, and I feel very happy knowing that I am in the band I always wanted to be in, writing the album I always wanted to write.

As far as the release of the album, we’re planning a Spring 2012 release. We’ll have more info and details on this in the upcoming months, so stay tuned!

We’ll be rounding out 2011 playing the WFNX Miracle On Lansdowne St. this Friday December 9 @ House Of Blues in Boston w/ Matt & Kim, and Mutemath. Tickets are available here: http://www.ticketmaster.com/event/01004747DC7BAB42?artistid=1231735&majorcatid=10001&minorcatid=1

We’ll then be celebrating the new year with all of YOU! Playing a New Year’s Eve show @ Brighton Music Hall in Allston w/ Kingsley Flood, and Freezepop! Tickets here: http://www.ticketmaster.com/event/0100475AEAB4A439

See you all very soon. Have some happy holidays!

Love, Chris / Mean Creek
