We got local Sac artist<a href="http://theartofskinner.com/">Skinner</a>to draw up the artwork and pressed a limited edition, clear/orange 10" Vinyl of the song. Along with a couple of B-Sides that were recorded live overseas. It's<a href=" http://bit.ly/ulyC2G">now available on iTunes</a>.

Just wanted to pop out of my cave for a minute and tell you about a few of the equipment companies that have recently climbed aboard the S.S. MC RUT.</p> <p class="p2"></p> <p class="p1">I have offically signed with Meinl Cymbals, and will be proudly bashing them all over the world from this day forward. Check out a link to my artist page <a title="Sean Stockham Meinl Cymbals Artist Page" href="http://meinlcymbals.com/artists/artist/ARTIST/sean_stockham/">HERE</a>!</p> <p class="p2"></p> <p class="p1">I have also been lucky to meet the guys over at SJC Drums and we have just finished the first of hopefully many collaborations in the future. Check out SJC Drums <a title="SJC Drums" href="http://www.sjcdrums.com">HERE</a>.</p> <p class="p2"></p> <p class="p1">Lastly, thanks to Ben at <a title="Vic Firth" href="http://www.vicfirth.com">Vic Firth</a>for supplying me with more than enough wood in which to punish my drums with. Heavy 2B woods all day!</p> <p class="p2"></p> <p class="p1">We've always considered ourselves the underdog, and in this day and age, there are only a handful of people left in the music industry who can afford to take chances and support smaller bands based solely on their belief in the artist and love of art. Thanks to them, and thanks to all of you for getting into this band. See you in November!</p> <p></p><p>From <a href="http://www.mcrut.com/">www.mcrut.com</a></p>Thu, 27 Oct 2011 09:55:00 -0700http://www.mcrut.com/news/50491<br /><img src="http://groundctrl.s3.amazonaws.com/clients/mc-rut/media/14/14/medium.1902153dj77d.gif" /><br /><p><span style="font-family: Times; line-height: normal; font-size: medium;"> </span></p> <div style="color: #000000; font: normal normal normal 12px/1.5em 'Lucida Grande', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; margin: 8px;"> <p>We're happy to announce we'll be on the road with<a href="http://www.awolnationmusic.com" title="AWOLNATION" target="_blank">AWOLNATION</a>in November.</p> <p>The tour starts 11/2 in Bakersfield, CA and wraps up on 11/23 in Philadelphia.
