     No news today. We're still working on the full length, it's coming along nicely though, I'm stoked for it to be released. No promises but hopefully by Christmas we'll have a new record. Thanks for your patience, check us out at Kilby with Criteria. They totally kick ass and we're excited to play with them.

Later

    Hey Y'all, I'm back from my semester-long Internship in D.C. It was a great experience and I'm glad to have had the opportunity to go. It was hard to be away for that long but it was worth it. We are still working on our upcoming full length release; we're getting  vocals and ironing out some mixing issues. We should have a show sometime in the coming summer months - I haven't played my drums in 4 1/2 so it might take a couple of weeks to get back in the swing of things. Hope to see you all at the next show.  Thanks for your support.

Love Jefferson_TMD

    What's up everyone? We have a couple of shows coming up that you don't want to miss because I am leaving for Washington D.C. in January to do an Internship for the Campaign Legal Center. I will be gone until May, so if you want to see us before then, make sure you take advantage of these upcoming events. We have scheduled some studio time in mid December to start tracking the full length, I am going to get my tracks finished before I go, and the rest of the dudes will finish while I'm gone. So hopefully we'll have a new record sometime this coming summer. Yippee!

    Holy Cow! The New Transit Direction Cd Release show was absolutely amazing, I feel bad for anyone who missed it. It truly was a rock extravaganza, In Camera is my new favorite local band they totally rocked. Form of Rocket, as always was amazing to see live. And it goes without saying that TNTD is the next big thing in rock. Words can't describe how awesome they are. Thanks to everyone who came out, and thanks especially to TNTD for asking us to play, we were honored to be there. If you haven't got a copy of "Wonderful Defense Mechanisms" you need to go buy one now. Thanks all

Love Jefferson and TMD

    What up ya'll? I just got back from Italy and I'm super stoked to be home. Italy is a beautiful place and I learned a lot of valuable lessons, it was definitely a wonderful experience, but 6 weeks is a long time and I was pretty homesick so I'm glad to be home so the rawk can commence.

   Now TMD is back in business, we are back in the studio working on some pre-production stuff for our full length, and hope to have a respectable demo here shortly, maybe we'll have a couple new tunes available for you on a split or something in the fall, it all depends on how this session works out. We have a couple of bitchin' shows coming up for you, take a quick gander at the shows page for details. We love you all, and hope to see you at the next show.

Love ya,

Jefferson

   I'm going to Italy this summer for about 5 weeks so we'll be taking a little break in June, July & August to do some writing and studio work, so make sure to catch us while you can. We've got some bitchin' shows lined up so be sure to check out the shows page and make plans to come rock out.

Thanks all, we love ya's!

    Hey folks, we just got back from our spring break tour in Colorado with our good friends I Am Electric, and it was totally awesome, we had a blast. We played a show in Denver with the Iron Sheik which was entertaining to say the least. We had an awesome show in Clifton, and we would like to say thanks to the kids that set up that show for us we really appreciate it, also we'd like to thank everyone who came out to support us, the kids in Clifton (grand junction) were especially cool to us. Thanks to all the bands that we played with, we were lucky enough to have the opportunity to see some really great Colorado talent. Big shout out to I Am Electric for being the coolest band ever and for setting up the tour.

    Also we have some new t-shirts and other cool stuff so make sure you come to the next show and support your local music.

Thanks all.

Love Jefferson

     How is everyone? good. We are very proud to announce the release of The Seldom Scene Compilation CD. We have a couple of tracks on this comp along with a ton of other incredible Salt Lake bands. This is a must have comp folks. We are playing @ Kilby Court for the release show along with all the other bands on the comp. See the show section for details. We've been polishing up some new tunes and doing a little work in the studio in preparation for our full length. I am gonna have a baby any day now so we we'll be out for a little while but we are planning to continue writing in the meantime. Thanks we love you.

   Hi Y'all, we just got back from our aptly named Sunny Beaches Tour, and it was awesome. We would like give a special thanks to Chris Bradley for booking our shows and letting us crash his pad. Also we'd like to thank Kayla for her hospitality, she took great care of us in San Diego. The show at the Prospector was very cool and the Che Cafe is an awesome all ages venue for punk rock bands, we had a great time playing out in California. Thanks to everyone who helped us out and rocked out with us.

   Hopefully we'll have some pics from tour to post up, so keep your eyes peeled for that action. We have some stuff in the punk rock times so check that out this month. Again we have some cool merchandise for y'all to pick up at any of our shows, so come out and rock with us. We are going back to the studio this month with John Burdick to start some pre-production work on our upcoming full length and we're super excited for that. Thanks everyone, we love you and hope to see you soon.

This update is dedicated to Josh stohl.

   Sorry for the delay on the news page folks, things have been pretty hectic around here lately. I've been busy baby proofing my house for the new addition. We had a super time on tour last month, Nashville clubs have great sound systems, the two shows we had there were awesome. We had a great show in Warensbourgh, Missouri at a place called the Set List, totally awesome joint we really appreciate all the kids we met there. Unfortunately I have no funny stories from tour, it was pretty low key, we did a lot of driving, and when I say a lot, I mean a lot, plus Bernie and I were sick, but we made it work cause that's how we do it.

    We are really looking forward to getting back in the bus and going to California this coming weekend, we've got a couple cool shows so it should be a good time. When we get back from California we're getting back into the studio with John Burdick, and we're all super stoked to start recording again. There have been some changes made to the show schedule so be sure to check that out.

    We have cheap t-shirts, cd's and stickers available at any of our shows, so be sure to check with us or you can email us and we'll send you stuff.

Love you all. Thanks for your support.

Hey y'all, we would like to thank the kids in Hyrum/Logan for coming out and rockin' with us last night, we had a blast, shows up there are always a good time and this was no exception. We are gearing up to hit the road in the fun bus this month, see the shows page for details on our Southern Bell Tour. Also just F.Y.I. we should have T-shirts very soon, so come out and get some cool Middle Distance merchandise. T-shirts always make a great holiday gift, they will also be available online. So watch for that. Thanks everyone and have a great holiday season.
