Promoting Our Website

Look, we’re in an unfamiliar city. We don’t have a “street team” here, and at this time we don’t really need one. We’re not playing out at all, though we do have something special TBA to celebrate the upcoming anniversary of The Hedge; more on that soon.

But it has come to our attention that our official website has garnered very few hits since we launched it over a month ago. Come on, folks, this is our official site, not a half-assed MySpace filled with terrible web design and awful-quality streaming. This website takes a comprehensive look at everything: our extensive discography, band history, every recent review I could find, a detailed list and explanation of all the gear we used on The Hedge…

But perhaps most importantly, we have allowed you, the fans, the friends, the everyone, to glimpse at the Hedge project with unparalleled detail. Here we have an explanation of the genesis of the story (with downloads!), the complete lyrics, and—best of all—the entire double album available for download as high-quality, variable-bit MP3s. That’s right—24 songs spanning two CDs, plus the Japanese release featuring a subtly difference mix and two bonus tracks, and we’re just giving it away. And we have more in the works, including a complete, annotated events calendar detailing every single concert we’ve performed from 1995 until now.

So everybody—visit our website, and get stoked on Abysmal so that you—not us!—will rock the house at our shows promoting Girth McDürchstein’s ‘The Return’ (tentatively slated for an April release).

We hope to see some hits on our counter, so everybody give us a visit and a listen. You won’t regret it.
