Jason: The new tracklisting looks awesome. A Night in the Life sounds epic.

OOC: A Day in the Life is my fave Beatles song, so this makes me pretty happy.

We are proud to announce a 4 album/4 single contract with Junction Records. Junction was our first studio that we signed with. It was pleasure working with them and I am glad they will have us back!



1. Allies II

2. ?????

3.??????

4. ?????

how lovely -.-

Jason Smith is in the studio now!

The process has become a lot more efficient since Allies I. We are happy to announce we have only two tracks to lay down before we begin to finalize them in post. We are working nearly 24/7 on this album, recording, mastering, recording, etc.. the tech work involved has become tremendousily enhanced and more advanced but we have brought on an awesome team provided by Junction Records

It's a shame that we could only finish the song with 4/5 of the band, but we enjoyed it all the same. Let's hope no bad comes of this, eh?

We are happy to announce that we will be continuing our world tour! We took a few months off to record ALLIES II and now that the album is packaged and ready for a release date, we are comfortable enough to continue our Royalty World Tour! The tour will take us around the globe multiple times for a time period of two years. The tickets are all general admission priced at 20$ a ticket.

What is The Royalty World Tour?
The royalty world tour is a tour that we embarked on because of our massive 20 disc box set of ALL our albums/singles/rare unheard of tunes of the moment. The Royalty Box set was a present to our beloved fans who have stuck by our side through thick and thin. Though Allies II is not on the box set we will of course still sing some songs from the album.

The Bards are currently on their world tour after completing 1 of 4 albums under contract with Junction Records. But in Bard like fashion the band has already been gearing up for #2!

From the Band: We are very excited to announce that we will be releasing a two disc live album called The Bards Through The Ages LIVE. It will feature two discs. Disc 1 will be all live material from all our years. Our golden age, if you will. Disc II will feature live performances of our Now era.

The nice thing about this album is that we don't have to stop our tour. All the tracks are ready to go. So we hope you all will enjoy it and see you live in concert!

ENOCH SINGLE?!

We also have something awesome brewing. We have been secretly working on a single with our favorite band of all time, Enoch! The single will be something you can groove to and something you can get lost in. More updates soon!
