Not wasting any time. As you already know, we have a brand new record finished & ready to go that we are sorting out release details for at the moment. In the meantime, we've been able to get such a jump on the future at rehearsals this year that we've actually learned and fine tuned our next, next album... to the point where we've actually begun recording it! This past week Andy already laid down drums for it. We've spend this year practicing it intensely, demoing it out, making adjustments, producing. And of course in the recording process there's going to be more fine tuning that comes along with that. But... it's happening. We never ever will allow gaps between releases like we've had in the past. We have so much that we're excited to bring you, we can't possibly hold back any longer. So we'll work behind the scenes to have these ready for you in a more consistent manner as long as you promise to stay patient until we get there on the next tour. Comically, our new lineup only really knows the new, new record. So we're going back and learning the first "new" record to get it ready to tour out. Speaking of that "new" record... we will have updates on what's happening in it within the next month. No more delays beyond that. We're beyond ready to get this thing moving. Hang tight!#thecryptics #andymattern #andystomper #soultonecymbals #sjcdrums #londondrumsticks #attackdrumheads #ryanstack #drums

We were fortunate enough to do a 2-week tour across Cuba in 2017. The country is a mess right now. People protesting over the way the government has handled the virus, price spikes and medicine shortages has led to the government shutting down phones & most WiFi services so they can't show the world what's going on right now. It's crazy to imagine this day and age that something like this would be going on but it certainly is. #control#cuba #protest #cubanprotests
