Well, it’s been almost two years since anyone has even seen or heard from us.  During that time, Justin and Marc have both become parents, EZ started his own line of guitars called “Wicked”, and Pete overcame some crippling joint disease that threatened to kill his music career. 

After the dust cleared, we decided it was time to get back to doing what we all do best...making rock music.

Now, in case you didn’t know or have never tried, making a record can be a real pain in the ass.  We started the process back in 2004 with a handful of new songs that we had been toying around with for some time.  After we released our third record Burn This EP, we decided that it was time to do something totally different than just putting our another 10 song record, pressing it and trying to sell a handful at our shows, website and stores.  As our bass player Speedy Pete says best...”Music today is free”.  He’s right. 

I remember being in the studio when we first starting laying down tracks for the new..record...album...thing...whatever you want to call it.  Anyway, George W. along with his crony John Ashcroft were on TV pumping up the war in Iraq and the “importance for the continued expansion of the Department of Homeland Security”.  I just laughed and thought that the country was being scared into believing this crap.  

“Sounds more like Homeland INSECURITY” to me!” I said.   “Hey, that’s the name of the new album!”

“I love it” said Pete. 

“We need to do a comic book” said Justin.

“What the fuck are you talking about?” I said.

“I want to release a comic book about our band and not just another record.  I have had this idea going thru my head for along time and now is the perfect time to do it.”

“What, are we all going to be KISS now and wear face make up and spit blood and play flying V guitars?” thinking that the idea wouldn’t be all that bad.  I was a huge KISS fan growing up and there will always be a secret part of me that wants to be Gene Simmons.  Bonus:  He’s a fellow tribesman!

“No.  We are going to be CRIME FIGHTERS.  And not just any crime fighters...1950’s detectives!” 

“Whatever” I said.  “You are nutz.” 

EZ was intrigued.  “I’m down with that.  I’ll draw the frames if you like.” 

EZ is an accomplished artist, so the idea made sense.   He had designed a bunch of Psoma merch in the past and everyone loved it. 

...here’s a little sample of what’s to come from Homeland Insecurity: 

        

“You better not make me into a fucking fat-ass jerk off” said Pete with a grin.  “I’ll quit this fucking band faster than a vegas hooker can say ‘time’s up’”. 

“Don’t worry” said Justin.  “It’s gonna kick ass.  We are going to release a comic book that follows along with our song’s lyrics and the story within.” 

“Like Operation Mindcrime?...’I remember now...’” I said with some serious sarcasm. 

“Yeah...exactly like that” said Justin. 

...stay tuned. 

We are planning on doing a few one-off shows under a different name, so you’ll just have to keep checking in to see where we’ll be and when and as whom. 

So there it is for now.  Feel free to add to our new kick-ass blog with whatever crap you want.  That will also be the best place to talk to the band and to other fans.  Feel free to upload some pictures, videos, songs, porn, whatever you want.  The blog allows you to upload up to 5 megs of whatever shit you like.  If we dig it, we’ll keep it up.  If it sucks, it comes down. 

Snap!

Marc & the guys.
