CD Baby | New Arrivals

This album allows the members to approach their craft with all new direction and taste. The Carry-Ons expound on the rock and punk genres with all new vigor.

The weather was perfect. The backdrop was immaculate. The cameras were rolling. And it went as planned except for one noise complaint that eventually lead to premature shutdown.  By then though, we had recorded nearly everything needed for our new music video.  We will publish it within the next 4-6 weeks after our dear friend and videographer Tyler gets his footage right where he wants it.  You will not want to miss this, we promise!!

FOTNS

www.thecarryons.com

Well after taking a few months off, I've decided to update everyone on whats happening with FOTNS

First off, after 4 years of playing in bands together, me (KD) and Edwin have decided to split ways .. No the rumors of him leaving for a secret FBI job or to run off to Vegas to get married again are false .. we just had some differences and decided to split ways .. no hard feelings, he is still a friend and we wish him luck for the future

Now you may be saying, "but Edwin played drums and did lead vocals, thats a lot to replace" .. yeah, no shit! .. We've had a difficult time finding a good punk drummer and a vocalist that could kick ass like Edwin did in Nashville, but we are almost ready to unleash the new lineup

Im very pleased to announce our old guitarist, Trey, has decided to rejoin the band .. His fast playing style and guitar riffs are what FOTNS is based around and it just hasn't been the same since he left in 2007

We are also very excited to be working with our new drummer Ross from local Murfreesboro bands Desperate Measures and Guide .. He is an amazing drummer that will be filling in for us until we can find someone that can take over the difficult role permanently

As far as vocalists, we are still auditioning new people and deciding on a some different factors with a few people that may work out .. Of course we are being very picky with this decision, we have never had to change the sound of the vocals in this band and its a hard choice to make

In the mean time, Me, Chris and Trey have been writing new material and are currently putting together a new live set with Ross, that will hopefully appear locally around Oct/Nov

We are also going to be releasing a FREE downloadable E.P. that have the last recordings Edwin did with us on Drums/Vocals, around early to mid September and we are going into the studio to start working on our new full length in a few weeks .. We have 5-6 tracks ready to go, on what should be around an 12-15 track release sometime early next year

We hope everyone will like our new music and continues to support us as we move on to another chapter ..
