-Hungry For Love- Tour Update

It’s day 22 of the Hungry For Love Tour. We’ve been lost for days. We left a trail of bread crumbs, till we ran out of bread. Just when we were about to lose hope, Josh found some twizlers in his backpack. So we’re not worried anymore. Other than this minor setback, we’ve been having a great tour! We have a great crew, and Leeland and Sanctus are obviously awesome!
We’re in Florida today, it’s raining. I’m sure it will wash all our bread crumbs away. This humidity never gets better.
This weekend I get to go home and see my family!! I’m super excited.
Well everyone, we’ll see you out there on the road. This is definitely a tour you do not want to miss!

Don’t Miss Out On Our Exclusive Behind The Scenes Bonus Video on iTunes

Hey everyone,

If you bought our “Light Up The Sky EP” or any of the individual tracks from our album last week on iTunes we wanted to let you know about an exclusive behind the scenes video that you may have missed out on. There were a few days last week where you may not have been able to purchase the full album as a whole, along with the bonus video, so we wanted to make sure you had a chance to get that if you weren’t able to. iTunes is now allowing you to complete your album, which means you’ll get the remainder of the record at a discounted rate (minus the tracks you already bought) as well as the exclusive bonus video that only iTunes has. Even if you bought all 10 tracks separately on iTunes, you can still get the video now by completing your album.

Here’s all you’d have to do-

1) Follow this link- RIGHT HERE

2) Under the album cover you should see a blue sentence that says “Complete My Album.” Below that is the “Buy Album” button with a newly adjusted price based on the tracks you previously purchased. If you want to get the bonus video and any remaining tracks on the album click that button!

Thanks for all your support on this record, and we hope your enjoying it!
