Straight from Lovitt Records' own Engine Down:
"Engine Down is calling for everyone's help in settling a dispute over which songs to play off of our first record, Under the Pretense of Present Tense, on our upcoming tour. After many years of turning our backs on our past, mainly because of our progressions musically and the inconsistent feel that our older songs have on the set list, we have decided to incorporate a few of these older songs back into our live set. We have narrowed it down to four songs and are asking for your input over which songs you would like to see played. All you have to do is e mail setlist@enginedown.com and include which song you would like to see and what city you will be attending a show in."
The songs in question off the first album are Slingshot, The Offer of Something, Castalia, and Brushes. To see the band's current tour routing for the spring [including stints with Cursive, Q and Not U, and more], click READ MORE.
