Happy Holidays: Here’s a free live track!

Thursday, December 2nd, 2010

Although discounted merch is quite nifty, we like giving away free stuff every once and a while as well. Our first album, for instance, has been free from the day it was released (although quite a few of you have purchased it any way, which has really helped us out with tour expenses!). As such, here's a free live track, recorded on our East Coast tour with Hero Destroyed. Enjoy!

Tour Merch Surplus Sale!

Thursday, December 2nd, 2010
Well ladies and gentlemen, we're home from our East Coast tour. It went extremely well, although we wish it could've been longer: we miss the Hero Destroyed dudes already! Definitely check them out if you haven't, live or otherwise. Good shit.

That said, we've some surplus merch that we figured we'd discount & throw online for you to peruse & purchase if you'd like. Isn't that neat? We hope so! We'll be handling the orders ourselves, so it'll be Paypal & best-guess shipping costs, but we'll do our best to make the process as smooth as a good oatmeal stout.

Shoot us an email with your order: merch@ironthrones.com

Pete’s “IT/HD 2010″ Tour Journal #1

Thursday, November 11th, 2010

So last night we played Madison, and I have to say, what a pleasant suprise. Cool people, old friends, and a really drunk guy who kept saying he was “old school”. No worries Madison, I won’t base my opinon of your city on that guy. The Frequency, the venue, was a cool place with some good tap beer and three old school arcade games (original mario). As the music commensed I couldn’t help but notice that there weren’t too many faces in the crowd, which is always disheartening to musicians. Yet as the night continued, folks began to filter in. A few hours and a few of those delicious tap beers later, Iron Thrones got up and stage to play. There were new faces in the crowd that we hadn’t met before that came to see us. I’m talking about you Captain America! It was a good first show to what will undoubtedly an amazing tour. Speaking of which, we meet up with Hero Destroyed tomorrow, it’s gonna be sweet. Stay tuned and see you later!

Wednesday, October 13th, 2010
Wanna help us out? Here are some fun promotional images for our upcoming tour! Nifty? Sort of!

First up, we have “the box”, a 300x??? square of pure promotional awesomeness:



More of a rectangle person? Here’s just the thing: a banner!



Going for a bolder statement? How ’bout a BIGGER BANNER!



Not a fan of animation? That’s fine! How about a nice side-column image?




Whichever you choose, we appreciate your help tremendously in getting the word out about our little band :)

“The Wretched Sun” lyrics

Thursday, September 23rd, 2010
Mmmmmmm, tasty

Mmmmmmm, tasty

We’ve posted the lyrics to “The Wretched Sun” in our forum, because forums are fun, and lyrics are fun, and thus the combination should logically be double-fun! Hopefully, that doesn’t turn out to be anything like double-stuffed Oreos. Sure, they sounded like a good idea, but A: it’s just more lard & sugar, without more cookie, and B: you just don’t fuck with a classic. Unless you plan on making it bigger. Dude, imagine a fucking double-SIZED Oreo. Or wait, maybe not double-sized, ’cause it wouldn’t fit into most glasses of milk, thus completely defeating the purpose. Unless we’re talking total volume, not simply doubling the diameter. Double the volume would likely still fit in a glass, and still constitute a doubling of size.

Any way, here are the “double-sized Oreo” forum links:

1: “Like A Moth To Flame” (lyrics)
2: “Ever Flowing” (lyrics)
3: “Against The Grain” (lyrics)
4: “I Once Had The Crown” (lyrics)
5: “Forever Glowing” (lyrics)
6: “And The Sky Came Falling Down” (lyrics)

Cheers,
-oreos… err, steve.h
