Anything else you’d like to say about your band that I forgot to ask? 
We have been approached by a production company that wants to document a band trying to make and break the music industry. They start filming next week and could be really good for the band. We have also been in contact with a indie label and have a possible movie sync deal and a good publishing deal offered us.
