Diary of the Damned

Great teaser on YouTube today.

Thanks Brian. Glad you liked it. We'll be putting out a few more over the next week or so. Gosh I'm excited to get this album out to the world.

Rise To The Faith

 What does that have to do with the album? Will that be the subtitle?

But still no pre-order option!

Of course, I've just blown my budget on Christmas music...

Yes! Rise To The Faith is a lyric taken from the song Dawn Ascending which will be on the album.

Pre-Order announcement will come later today. Jen and I are just hashing out the final details.

BUT!! You may not have to pre-order at all! If you're good at crackin those codes then we may drop one on Facebook this weekend. First person to solve it might just get a bunch of stuff for free. More details on that later too.  In the meantime, here is some more practice...

Walk With The Almighty

At least we won't have to worry about any competition from staybrite.

Aw man, I thought for sure my guess was correct!   I can't believe you went with that for an album title instead of using mine .... I guess I have to forgive you and all... you know, being a Christian. 

ANNOUNCEMENT #1

We have a Deluxe CD Package that will go on Pre-Sale Monday 12/14/20! I expect to have CDs and the rest of the package materials in hand by 12/20/20 and will ship all pre-sales immediately. 

The package will include:

1 Diary of the Damned CD
1 12 page full color lyric booklet
1 8x10 Diary of the Damned poster
2 2x9 Diary of the Damned decals
2 Evans and Stokes guitar picks
1 Photo signed by John AND Jen (YES the two of us signed these. It took months, during lockdowns, etc. for us to mail these photos back and forth. They literally traveled around the world).

This is a one time thing and only a limited supply is available so first come first serve. Cost is $25 +SH and all purchases are made through our website via PayPal. The PayPal link on our website will open at midnight Monday morning and will shut down once the items are sold out, whenever that may be.

The official release date for Diary of the Damned is 12/24/20. On that date the album will be available for digital streaming and download through all major platforms (Spotify, Apple Music, etc.) and single CDs will then be available for purchase through our website for $16.

So if you want the package then get it Monday while supplies last, but if you just want the CD then that will be available on 12/24/20.

ANNOUNCEMENT #2

Want all this stuff for free? Watch the Evans and Stokes Facebook page this Saturday 12/12 at 6pm (EST). We'll post a coded message. First person to solve it gets the entire deluxe CD package for FREE!

Will the CD not normally come with a lyrics booklet?

The CD will come with the lyric booklet. In the past we've used Kunaki and gone on the super cheap to produce CDs but they are very limited on what they can do so mostly single cover inserts. This time we went with a different company to do it right, but the cost is much much higher. And OMG designing the 12 page book to FOR-E-VER!!! Ask Jen how many times we went back and forth with "you forgot a comma here, and you didn't capitalize this word there. GRRRR....

When will just the CD be up for (pre)order?

I work at a printers, and proof reading is a complete nightmare!  The amount of times the product is finished, and has been checked numerous times, only to discover a big typo which is too important to do nothing about!  One case a whole magazine had to be pulped!

Man I could not do that job every day (proof reading). It would drive me crazy!

So Jen was agonizing over the press pack for this record. She created this entire thing proofed it over and over. I read it three times as well. Then she finally started sending it to everyone. THEN AFTER SHE SENT THEM ALL OUT realized one of the song titles was wrong. HAHA!!  Breath of Life NOT Breath of Light Jen! You wrote the dang lyrics and sang the song. You should remember what it's called. Too funny!

Wow all that stuff for only $25!  What a deal!!!

That is funny.  Besides if you make grammatical errors you will be in good company.  Saint seems to botch something on every cd release.

You obviously didn't do it like Saint 

I wonder if Saint does it on purpose now, it seems to be part of their schtick.

6pm TODAY on the Evans and Stokes Facebook page. Get the Diary of the Damned Deluxe CD Package for free by being the first to figure out the cipher!

It was nice of Fundy and Xid to let me win.

Congratulations topshot! Well played.

I think, however, that Staybrite was your biggest competition.  (Sorry, I love you Gary, but I couldn't resist)

That was fun. I like doing fun stuff.

Well done topshot!
