New Song Completed!!!

As we continue to write material for a future release, the latest addition to the Severance library has been completed.  The new song is called "Ambivalent Reflections" and clocks in at a little under 5 minutes.  This song is about an individual who no longer has any family left to share his/her remaining years of life.  He/She realizes that the family's legacy will end with this person's demise.  As this person reflects on the past, he/she is having mixed feelings on how to feel about his/her life.  Should this person feel shameful because the family name will die with him/her? Or should this person feel as if he/she is honorably concluding the family legacy?  The internal conflict shifts from positive to negative (opposites) throughout the whole song to emphasize the reflecting part (as that of a mirror which reflects the complete opposite of the real image), as well as reflecting in terms of thinking of the past.   So not only do the lyrics tell of someone's ambivalent reflections, the lyrical structure also reflects ambivalence with each lyrical phrase of positive reflection being immediately followed by a phrase of  its negative counterpart.   With the exception of a few previously scheduled shows, we are going to refrain from accepting every show offer and zealously continue to write new music in hopes of having a new CD out by 2008.  We'll keep you posted on this progress.  JP

Help us with our next release!!!

As some of you may already know, we are planning on releasing a compilation disc of previously-released material.  The purpose of this release is to compile all of our best songs and put them on one disc.  The only problem is that we can't reach an agreement on which songs to choose.  That is why we have decided to let you, the listeners, decide for us.  Simply go to our Listener Song Vote Page and pick 3 of the listed songs that you would like to see on this release.  The 8 songs with the most votes will be included on this CD.  In addition to the 8 songs, we will be including one new, unreleased song, and some video footage.  This will be a great way of introducing our newer, younger fans to both the new and old Severance.  Thanks for you help. JP

New Page on Site!!

For your convenience, we've added a page with most of the distributors who are helping spread the Severance sickness throughout the globe. If you are having trouble finding our material, these people should be able to help get some Severance in your ears.  Go to the CD Distributors page to find a distributor near you.  JP

Send us your pics for the new "Severance Epidemic Page"

We've noticed quite a few of you showing your support for Severance by wearing your Severance attire just about everywhere from concerts to supermarkets, and shopping malls to churches.  We've decided to dedicate a page to you guys because your support is priceless and greatly appreciated.  This page will contain photos of anyone wearing anything that supports Severance.  If you own one of our shirts, beanies, etc.  and don't see yourself on this page, send us your pic, and I will post it a.s.a.p.  You can send it to my (Jaime's) e-mail address, which can be found on the "Contacts  Page".  If you would like a shirt, check out our "Merchandise Page" and purchase one.  Click on each thumbnail to acquire more information about the photo.  Thanks for your support and stay severed.  JP
