Shooting a music video is one of those things you never think that YOU will do, it’s always someone else or some band you like that gets a music video. This week though, the camera go turned on us. What a seriously tiring and nerve racking thing it is. You always here about such demanding [...]

We’re very excited to let everyone know our new record is out in digital form now. The full CD will be out in February, but you can get it now from iTunes or the likes. There are 11 new songs and two bonus tracks that you won’t be able to get anywhere else.
We’re really proud [...]

Two months on the road does a lot of weird stuff to a person. You find yourself having trouble to stay connected with your family, friends and loved-ones while on the road. You see your kids, nephews and nieces grow up while you are gone. You miss out on a lot. And you kinda come [...]

Hey peeps. Just wanted to say hey and that we are still alive despite our quiet nature on the blog this past week. We had an amazing time these past few weeks on tour. We got to drive all the way through Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, Nevada, California, Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Montana and the list [...]

Wow, what a last few days. Lots of driving, lots of hard work, but some really great shows. We have some photos from our show at Club 3 Degrees in Minneapolis. So check out the Vota Flickr account to view them.
We’re going to be home for a little over a week to recharge a little [...]

So ever since we bought this fancy bus, I find myself doing a few things much more frequently… 1) saying bad words, 2) ruining clothes with grease stains and 3) hanging out at diesel shops talking with mechanics about the bus. Basically, like 5% of my job for this band is actually playing on stage [...]

What can I say? The last couple of shows have been amazing! Sold-out crowds in Bangor, ME and Souderton, PA! We’ve never been to Maine before, but it was really beautiful and the fact that the show was awesome made it that much better. Souderton really surprised me, apparently Sanctus has never played in Souderton [...]

Here we are about two weeks into the tour. WOW. This is sooooo much work, but it’s a lot of fun hanging with all of these guys on tour. A really awesome group. This is almost the hardest we’ve ever worked on tour next to doing 2-3 school assemblies in one day. These shows have [...]

Hey yall. Scott here. We just got done with our first show on the Sanctus Real “We Need Each Other Tour.” It was great! An awesome home town crowd for the Sanctus boys. A crowd of well over 700 by my estimation. It was really fun to make it back to Ohio, we haven’t been [...]
