Mindless Obsessions - Studio Cam 1 (Drums!)

Check out this video of Euan in the studio tracking drums for an exclusive track we've been busy recording! 'Mindless Obsessions' is an older track of ours, but we've decided to spruce it up a bit and record it for the lovely folks on our Mailing List to say thanks for being all cool and following the band and such!

Just the new vocals to record (with Grant's shiny new mic!) which will happen in the next two weeks. He's already started some preliminary mixing so we're hoping to have this wrapped up and ready pretty soon, indeed!

If you'd like the track for FREE when it's mixed and mastered... all you have to do is sign up for our online mailing list, here: www.atornmind.fanbridge.com

You'll get the occasional message with the latest news and show details as well as the change to get your hands on some pretty sweet exclusives and freebies from time to time!

Enjoy the video!

Euan, Grant, Chris, Ryan
