Intersect
I figured it was time to throw up a little post about a latest project the Smokescreen boys are working on. Lead singer Gus and guitarist Luke, the brothers Holwerda, are working currently working on a feature film called "Intersect". It is a time-travel, sci-fi, mystery involving a group of scientist that create a black hole machine that allows for time travel. What happens next? You should probably check it out. Go HERE now!

Free CDs in the mail

posted april 22nd, 2008
Our new album is now available for shipping. FREE. Go here for more details.

::::TO EVERYONE WHO AS ALREADY ORDERED A CD::::
We have recieved a massive influx of CD requests! We are happy to send them all, but we are a little backed up at the moment. We are still sending them, but they will take longer than we expected. Shipping prices have risen since the last large batch of orders, so we are now asking for donations to our paypal account: booking@smokescreen.tv Any donations recieved will be put right back into sending more CDs. Help us keep it free! Or as close to free as possible!

Our music, this page, and the distribution of our CDs has been completely independent. If you like what you hear, feel free to make a donation...a nickel, a quarter, a dollar... every little bit helps keep the happy dream alive.

As always, all our music is available free to download on our music page.

Thank you to everyone who has ordered already!
