Summer

Beach time. Guess who?

The Road Not Taken

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

Poem by Robert Frost

Found this old banner online today, remembered the release on these songs:

Writing in August

We’ll be writing new music throughout August. Expect a lot about this soon as we’ve got some amazing things to share with you. In the next few days, we’ll be saying goodbye to our favorite writing spot on earth, the Lake House, run by our friend Rappy (who continues to help and support us at every turn). For now, though, it’s time to settle in to a new spot which will be a big part of our time this month.

The best place to read weekly updates is here – TheHint.com. Our new site works on cell phones too.

Thank you for sticking with us, please support the music!

Lots of love,

<3

Radio Waves and Thunderstorms

Summer is already a sweat-filled fresh start. All of us have seen the ocean long enough to feel new again. We’re knee deep in some crazy paperwork with a bunch of new and random things happening, only some we can mention. “Pride” played on the radio last night for the first time in the US (at least, reported to us). In perfect coincidence, that song has been selected for a commercial in Asia. Details soon, but it’s being re-mastered now. If you have a favorite radio station, call in and request it.

Saturday, we’re going to take a break from writing and return to NoVA. We’ll be playing at least one song (secret) we’ve never played before and we’re taking requests before the setlist is cemented. So far, “Things We Do In The Dark” has been requested and added. The Hint will play around 9:40PM or so, with Parade the Day (reuniting) and From Coast to Skyline. Tickets are $3 cheaper in advance and the show is already on pace to sell out in advance.

Where Are You Now?

Songs have a life of their own; sometimes they wallow in obscurity and some days, they’re showered with love. We’ve been getting a lot of requests to put “Where Are You Now?” back up on a few sites recently. We’ll do one better: here’s a free download to share. It’s one of our earliest singles.
