Good Evening to you.
We hope the new year finds you well… We want to thank you for all of the overwhelming support for Wildwood you’ve been showing us. We honestly didn’t expect such a passionate reaction. Anyone with questions or comments about the album, please feel free to write us here or on Facebook. We’ve been having some interesting dialogue with some of you and we’d like to keep those lines of communication between you & us open. Don’t be strangers! And thank you again to our new friends…and as always, to you, our old friends.
There’s a few things we’d like to talk about today and I promise to keep it as quick as I can…
1. Many of you in Germany that pre-ordered Wildwood have not yet received your order although they were shipped a month ago. We went to the Post Office to find out what’s going on but they could tell us nothing, unfortunately. If any of you would like to check at your local Post Office, respond to this email and we will give you the US Customs info on your package. Otherwise, all we can do is wait. We apologize for this. We thought we mailed them out early enough to miss the holiday madness…apparently, we were wrong! To avoid this problem in the future, we promise not to release an album during the holiday season again! Also, we will be putting tracking on all international orders from now on…so fear not! We won’t allow this to happen again! Two years ago, I ordered a record from England at the beginning of December as a gift for someone. It took 6 weeks to get here because of holiday mail… :( Once again, we apologize for this error and will not let it happen again. We’re confident your orders will be arriving soon. Stay in touch with us on this and if we get any packages returned to us, we will send them to you immediately through express mail or a different courier service altogether.
2. Neil has a new and updated website:http://www.neilderosa.com/
Here, you will find drum lessons and ideas, drum transcriptions, and a blog for his current adventures. There is contact information for drum lessons as well for those interested.
3. All of our releases including our 2 new ones (Wildwood & The Nightside EP) are now available on iTunes worldwide.https://itunes.apple.com/us/artist/1476/id332845421
They’re also available on Amazon and many other places where music can be downloaded. They’re on Xbox too, I believe! Someone commented that Wildwood was perfect for Minecraft… So, there you go. We’re always very reluctant to ask for help. We don’t want to bother anyone, honestly. But, I want to ask you now if you could rate our albums on iTunes and/or write a review. You don’t have to purchase the album to leave reviews as far as we know. I’m pretty sure you can just go on there and do it. It would really mean a lot to us to help spread the word in this way. But if you don’t want to, that’s cool too. Thank you in advance if you decide to.
Oh! New T-shirts will be on the way soon. Stay tuned.
