Hi All,

We loved making the Sour Grapes video. It was just a compilation of the top google rank images for Iranian Election. It was fun, easy, and really effective. Now we want to make a video for Burning Out, the other single on the Iranian Democracy EP.

What we really want though is your involvement. Submit any photos that you have taken or have seen that you think are a good fit for this song. We will look at them all and then choose the ones we like and make the video out of them. If we choose a photo that you send us we will definitely credit you for it.

Also, we will choose five people who we think submitted the best photo and send them a copy of Iranian Democracy and a copy of Ashes signed by all band members.

Here are the lyrics. You can listen to the song on this site or our myspace page.

To submit a photo just email it to buddaheadmusic@mac.com

The band isn’t unlike more mainstream acts like Dashboard Confessional or the All-American Rejects in their mellowness and pleading vocals…with few exceptions like “Sour Grapes,” which is sulky, but also angsty, channeling The Mars Volta through Kia’s vocals. Read More

I recently read a review of Ashes that said the album was basically “phoned in” which means, to me at least, that no emotion and care was put into making it. This hit me really hard because Ashes is a collection emotional revelations. This album was written at a time when depression, death, and drugs, destroyed my family. The guy who said my album was “phoned in” also went on to say, “I wouldn’t be surprised if the band broke up after this CD”.

A part of me thinks this is his take on the lyrics at the end of sour grapes: I’ve got a good mind to throw in the towel, I’ve been rolling with the punches for so long. Now life is a heartache in the cubicles, the ashes of a dream I once had.

If this is the case, I can see why he would think this way, but honestly this band has been through so much together: record deals that fell apart, endless touring in a van with no money, and some horrible personal shit – but we did not break up, nor are we about to. Instead we made this album with our own money, with love, and with care; and just for the record we are writing the next album. So, Scott Homewood, sorry, be surprised, we are not breaking up.
