I was hoping that they would have got Neal Morse back... since he's doing the whole Transatlantic thing, i figured he might rejoin the BEARD. Oh Zwell.

The above link should take you to where you need to go to pre-order. I just pre-ordered mine. Embarrassed

I ordered one! I was pretty bummed by Feel Euphoria (ha!) and Octane, but their self titled is great! I am completely willing to give them another chance here. Plus, now really is the time to start supporting good bands, what with finances being nasty for many...

E-Dub,

Thanks for the post and good news, I'm glad there's something new in the works.  Unfortunately, the link doesn't work, when I tried, it simply asked me for a user name and password.

If you go to the Spock's Beard web site and use the 'click here' link, it does work there.

I don't have an unnatural obsession with Disney Princesses, I have a fourteen year old daughter and coping mechanisms.

SBX - NEW SPOCK'S BEARD CD PRE-ORDER 

Yes, that's right a new CD!  Most of the material has already been written and we're ready to go to the next phase of tightening up arrangements, making changes where needed and starting production.  

We've decided to go commando on this one... lean, mean and without record label support. 

We have been free agents since the release of our last CD and after lots of deliberation have decided to release our next CD independently rather than re-sign with InsideOut or shop other labels.  


Spocks Beard


There have been a lot of great suggestions relating to this topic by the members of our forum, and the one that made a lot of sense to us was to take pre-orders for our not-yet-recorded CD similar to the approach that Marillion has taken in the past.  

We will organize a retail store distribution deal at some point in the future, but the initial release will be an independent limited edition offering of only 5,000 CDs. 

This pressing will be a one-time only release, with at least one bonus track that will not exist on any subsequent pressing. By pre-ordering, you will receive our next CD one full month before it exists in any other form or is (legally) available in any other way.  In other words, it won't be in stores, it won't be on iTunes, it won't be available on Amazon or anywhere else on Earth except directly from us for at least one month after the release date, and the special version that you pre-order will never be reprinted again after those first 5,000 units are gone.

We will also not be sending pre-release copies to the media for CD reviews because frankly we're tired of seeing our new CD available as a "free" bittorent download weeks before release date.  Not sending out pre-release copies will stop this leak and guarantee that the people who pre-order our CD will be the very first people to hear it besides the people directly involved in the recording and production process.   

Release date depends on how quickly the CD is "financed" by pre-orders, but our initial goal is to have the CD finished and the pre-orders filled by the end of this year or early 2010. 

During the pre-production and recording process, we'll keep you up-to-date with the progress here as well as with a video blog on YouTube (subscribe there if you haven't already).

So... to be the first one on your block to have the next Spock's Beard CD, click here to pre-order!
