Read Ethan's announcement below for more details...

Hey friends,

Over the last couple years, I�ve really been wanting to start up a solo project to have on the side. Relient K doesn�t tour like we did years ago, so there�s usually enough time off throughout the year to write stuff on my own and play around the Nashville area. I�ve gone back and fourth, over the last year, on what type of music I want to do. Being a fan of so many genres & playing multiple instruments makes it tough to decide. The one thing I did decide is that I don�t care anymore. I wanna do music that makes me happy, sing about stuff that matters to me and if people don�t care for it, that�s totally fine. For years I was in Punk/Ska/Reggae bands (Supertones & The Dingees) and no matter what I try and write, I feel most comfortable and happy playing some good old Ska & Reggae. I feel like I could play that stuff til I die.

I�ll be doing this on my own through Bandcamp. Although I think crowd funding sites like Kickstarter are cool, I don�t need to raise funds to record. I just wanna put out music and I�ll be recording it all at home in my garage! Don�t worry, the quality will be great! My goal is to get an EP out by the end of summer and periodically put up other singles, instrumentals�etc.

To get the ball rolling, I�ve put up my first single called �Hey, Mr. Pharisee� for $1.00! Hopefully you�ll get a good idea of where I�m going with this. I hope you enjoy it and I look forward to getting more music to you all in the near future! If you�re interested in my new tune, head over to my Bandcamp page to grab it. If you enjoy the tune, please spread the word!

Oh yeah, I�m calling it Ethan Luck & The High Pressure System. There�s no deep meaning behind it. I live in Tennessee and I�m fascinated by severe weather. Thats about it!

Thanks,
Ethan

Sorry, one last thing�Obviously, Relient K is still priority. We are in the middle of recording a record right now! Just had to clear that up because you know someone will ask. Ok, I�m done.
