Week 4 was \u201cCalling Out\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Week 5 was \u201cThis City Made Us\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This week is \u201cHold On (The Distance Between)\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n We\u2019ve reached the halfway point with these tracks, but we still have a long way to go. Here\u2019s comes a bunch of stuff none of you have ever heard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n SUPER MAGFEST 2026<\/strong> And in case you somehow missed all the emails and social posts prior to this and are wondering what this is all about, Act III: This City Made Us is now in the CD and Digital pre-order phase on Bandcamp<\/a> and we\u2019re releasing one to two songs a week (every Monday or Tuesday) until they\u2019re all out in the world. And if you\u2019re worried about the math, don\u2019t freak out, the first one landed on a Friday and the second one landed on the following Tuesday, but from here on out they\u2019ll land on Mondays or Tuesdays (they\u2019ve all been Tuesdays so far, but we swear Mondays are still in the running). We said 2025, and when we said 2025, we meant 2025. And always remember, only the physical copies of the album (CDs, Records, etc.) come with the libretto\/booklet that have all of the fleshed out story and incredible John DeLucca<\/a> illustration and Caspar Newbolt<\/a> design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n And still no word on a pre-order date for Vinyl, but we\u2019ll let you know the moment we can get those in your hands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n See you next week!<\/p>\n\n\n\n -Commander<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Week 1 was \u201cThe Calm\u201d + \u201cHold Back The Night\u201d Week 2 was \u201cThe Trainyard\u201d + \u201cNo Way Back\u201d Week 3 was \u201cThe Storm\u201d + \u201cBuried In The Red\u201d (featuring Bit Brigade\u2019s own Luke Fields on bass guitar.)

Just announced – All 3 nights. All 3 “Act” albums. And we’re doing them in chronological story-order, so Act II on Thursday, Act I on Friday, and Act III on Saturday.<\/a> This one is gonna rule.
It\u2019s pretty much sold out at this point, but don\u2019t freak out if you didn\u2019t get a badge in time, because we\u2019re planning a little something here in Nashville for early-mid 2026 that you don\u2019t want to miss (even if you’re already going to MAGFest). We\u2019ll dole out more info on that as we know more details. But go ahead and clear your schedules for the entire year, because it\u2019s gonna be a big little something.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
