Alas the impact has been delayed. No new STG track yet.

UPDATE: The new launch date is upon us!

There have apparently been some delays in mastering the track and it is not available for its 7:00 pm EST release date of today, August 11th. Will the new singer still be revealed next Monday? Who knows.

so how many of you have made a record or had friends who did so?

its tough and sometimes deadlines aren’t met. Our mastering session for some new music for today has been postponed … and as much as I want so dearly to post this song up here; we worked so hard on it and it wouldn’t be fair to the 4 of us to not put up the best, most powerful version.

so, stand by ladies and gentleman. it will be a few more days till impact.

and I would hold on to something when you listen to it and go put the dog in the house and check on grandma.

SEASON ONE : THE FALL. how about denver and baltimore .. we will be there as soon as we can.

our first new song since 2005 is just days away … stay patient we will get it out to you as fast as we possibly can.

:: there were powerful thunderstorms all over manhattan today.

lets live and let die : shinys

Also, I can confirm that the vocals on the new album are the new girls only, and a reminder that Carah has started a new music project and that there will be a new version of Turn to Real Life soon.

EDIT: The rumored new singer has been revealed.

That’s it for now.

So Carah left voluntarily: Nope… maybe?

EDIT: The reveal of the new singer and track name is here.

Okay so here’s the deal, all that stuff about Carah leaving the band for personal reasons was a bit of an assumption. It doesn’t sound at all like Carah ever had the choice to stay.

Apparently this is from Carah herself:

IT WAS NOT MY CHOICE TO LEAVE STG. Its all very painful for me but, I will always continue to do music and have already started a new group. Music is my life and I will always do it.
The rumors that I quit or that I left to marry are completely false and it would mean a lot to me if you would correct anyone saying that.

However, (and I certainly hope I’m not fueling the fire here… maybe it’s time i bite my tongue) this little tidbit also apparently came from Shiny Toy Guns’ myspace:

From: shiny toy guns
Date: Aug 11, 2008 5:24 PM

…

[Carah] doesn’t want to be in our band or she would still be with us, thats a bottom line. finding a new singer is quite difficult and a real test for us

So that’s that, and all very confusing. Here we have Carah’s story and soon we should have the rest of the band’s story. Due to the early jump in the story from Jeremy’s post, since we don’t have any details and especially since Carah’s and Jeremy’s words are a bit contradicting, I’d like to point out that it is still far too early to say she was kicked out of the band or not, or even to draw any conclusions.

I’d like to state firmly that at this point there is nothing to substantiate jumping to any conclusions as to whether or not Carah is no longer in the band as her decision, or others or why she is no longer in the band. Furthermore, as Shiny Toy Guns has the right to explain their situation, Carah also has the right to explain hers. Both deserve nothing but respect.

Since Carah is saying the rumors aren’t true instead of substantiating personal information, I guessed it would be okay to share this information.

Stay-tuned, impact is due.
