Time for a Site Refresh

It's been nearly 3 years since we've made any major changes to our website. As we continue to evolve in our music, we'd like for our site to reflect those changes as well. So to ensure our site keeps up with us, I've been working on the side to bring this site back up from scratch with a brand new back-end, as well as a new front-end design.

For the back-end, we're switching over to Drupal to allow for some real dynamic content and extensibility for future improvements. It's been slow learning everything there is to know about Drupal, but so far, I've found it to be extremely powerful as long as you know where to find what you need in order to make the system do what you want. I feel that there's a huge learning curve, but once you get the hang of it, it's a lot easier and more flexible that other CMS's out there.

New features that I'm adding include the requisite social media plug-ins that you're used to seeing everywhere now. Soon you'll be able to Tweet, coonect through Facebook, and +1 us on Google. We're also going with the Facebook commenting system as that allows for the 2-way comment posting. Disqus was also considered as a commenting system but I decided it was simpler to go with Facebook.

The new site should be up by July, so keep an eye out!
