Ahhhh you beat me to the punch Chosen! lol! I really wouldn't be surprised if they reach their goal within a day at the rate they're moving. It's been 30 minutes and they have already raised $3,500. They're not exactly on Five Iron Frenzy's pace, but a fairly encouraging pace nonetheless!

I wonder if they got dropped (for some odd reason) or were just tired of sharing 90% of their sales with a record label.

If I remember right thier contract with T&N was up after Welcome to the Masquerade as that album fulfilled thier contract

It could be a combination of the two.

Either way, I do like TFK. However, I am not crazy about the whole Kickstarter program. I still think it looks unprofessional to me. I'll get the album when it releases, but I don't like the whole pledging thing.

The funding was complete in less than a day. All the TFK fans are getting a free song as a result!

My brother gave some. He's a TFK fan.

This is what I have found on the link silenthunder has given.

Why did you leave Tooth & Nail Records?


We love Tooth and Nail, we'll always be family, but this is something
we wanted to try on our own. We thought and prayed about it a great
deal, there were a lot of humbling offers on the table from labels, and
at the end of the day, we felt led to do this. It's a whole new frontier
for us, it's like going back to the way we started, but there's nothing
more exciting than when you HAVE to trust God! We care so much about
the people who support this band, whether you've been here with us for
15 years or just heard us on iTunes, and this will give us new ways to
share our musical experience in a closer way than ever before.

^^ AWESOME.

Very glad to see a good band like TFK continuing post-label and trying the indie thing. Hopefully it will mean better return for them on their investment and better ability to support themselves and their families.

I completely forgot to post it here, but here's a lyric video they released for new song War of Change a few days ago:



I'll put it in its own post, too.
