You read that right folks, IFD is going to be going on hiatus. It's a tough decision, but it's the right one for the band members for now. And to be clear, we're not breaking up, just taking a break. Don't think of it as goodbye, think of it as "Smell Ya Later".
On that note, we're going t...
I know it's been quiet round these parts, but trust me we've been writing up a storm and we're likely going to start a THIRD album adventure some time later this year to make a new original album of madness and glory but in the meanwhile...
Can you believe it's been over 10 years since we r...

O Hai!
It's us again, back sooner than we thought, just to share one more awesome thing related to SIDE QUEST.
Tim Labonte (who created a excellent lyric videos for Chain Wallet Rock and for Artifact) is back at it again, with a very cool creation for The Taste For Glory, and we jus...

Now that both the digital and physical versions are fully released, and the rewards are all on their way (or already arrived!), I am both elated and saddened that Adventure #2 has come to its conclusion.
It was so much fun to dig into our archives and vault to relive and revive lots o...

I'm elated to see all of the posts on the socialz about people receiving their rewards!! I know some international folks are still waiting patiently, but I'm thrilled that they're starting to arrive and that people are liking what they see.
We'll likely start to ramp down these posts ...

I'm thrilled to report that our warehouse got all of the Patreon physical goods shipped out last week! Domestic shipments went out via media mail, so they will likely arrive sometime this week or next week, and international shipments went via first class international, so they'll arrive in the c...

I am absolutely thrilled to announce that our records have arrived at the fulfillment warehouse. We swung by to get everything arranged late last week, and they should begin shipping out this week.
The fulfillment house has been wonderful to work with, especially with the record plant delay...
2022-01-11 02:00:03 +0000 UTC View PostIt's official! The plant has let us know that our records finished pressing last week, and they've been picked up today and are en route to our fulfillment warehouse.
So what does this mean? A few things:
This Saturday SIDE QUEST was unleashed on the world! (digitally speaking). Feel free to share with the world via the social webworks (especially since 100+ of you are singing on Taste for Glory) and use the hashtag #sidequest
Our physical LPs are going on press this week, so we should hopef...

We are in the home stretch, and potentially as should be expected, we've got some exciting news and some bumps along the way 😂
First off, as we have discussed many times, the vinyl pressing industry is in a bit of chaos this year. It turns out that our record pressing plant is running a ...

With just a couple of weeks until we start shipping out physical rewards, if you backed at a level with physical rewards ($15 and above), now is the time to make sure your shipping address is correct in your Patreon acc...

I'm elated to report that we got our test pressings this weekend, and they sound great!
If you're not familiar, test pressings are a handful of records that are pressed and sent to confirm that everything is correct before they do the full production run. (We also ordered extra for our Vin...
While the members of IFD currently live split across 3 cities, we're coming together this week for a setlisting Zoom meeting to finalize the show for the Brought To You By Science tour (and the Side Quest Release Show capping it off).
I figured we should ask in here if there are any songs f...

Comrades! We are moving steadily toward release, a mere 2 months from the Brought To You By Science Tour (and 3 months from the Side Quest release show).

The CDs are here! They're digipaks, very similar in style to what we did with Canon Eyes since that ended up working really well.
Here's your first look at them. Only 4 more months (🤦🏻♂️) until the Vinyl is ready and we can ship everything your way!

It feels like forever, but we've finally started the release cadence for "Side Quest"!
This past week, "The Taste For Glory" went live on all major music platforms (along with our 150+ Patreon-submitted vocal tracks creating the IFD choir of glory).
Thank you to everyone who has...

It has been 2.5 years since our last little tour, and it has actually been 7 years since we last toured anywhere west of Chicago. We seek to remedy that injustice this year!
We're doing a week of shows south and west of Chicago this November, and we're calling it the Brought To You...
Today we've got a look at the creation of the epic album art for Side Quest. We were working with Matt Smith who has done a few stunningly cool pixel art pieces for us (including our most recent 'band picture'), and we started with the idea of Sir Dave (the IFD logo guy) facing down a gigantic dr...

The first one of these is that we have a rough public release date...

These are individual files for each of the 4 new studio tracks ("Taste for Glory", "Move", "Chain Wal...
And now for the audio nerds, we present Side Quest in lossless wav format!
Interestingly, as these are b-sides and rarities tracks, many of them originated in lossier formats to begin with, but especially our 4 new studio recordings definitely benefit from listening in full wav.
