FAQ
If we havn't answered your question in the below FAQ, please email us your query via the contact form.
What is this all about?
Well, we decided to build our own fundraiser web site, IndieRaiser, instead of using an existing Kickstarter or Pledge site that takes a percentage of the money you contribute to us. Instead, once we reach our target goal, we will donate 5% of that to charity.
Why should I support you guys?
We really appreciate your support and we want you to know that all the money we raise is going to go towards the recording of our NEW album. The best thing is you get something really cool for supporting our IndieRaiser campaign. It can simply be pre-purchasing the new album on CD or vinyl. Just look to the right hand side of the page and choose your favourite package. Not only that, we make really really good music and your help will enable us to record our music to produce the most ear pleasing quality sounds possible.
