-Is Anybody Home?
-One Man Army

They are in the mixing stage of album production now, and also you should all be aware that an August 31 release date is being tossed around the airwaves courtesy of Edge 102. As for touring, Duncan says they will be doing some shows over the summer.

Note: "Some" implies plural which means shows other than Woodstock.
