Our 11th Hour is a post-hardcore/metal band from Syracuse, NY. Their debut EP demonstrates the ambitious writing style and technically difficult playing skill. With award-winning members and innovative music, Our 11th Hour hopes to begin turning heads before their first full-length album, “Of Halos & Hand-Grenades” is released.
The album will soon be available on iTunes, Amazon, and many other online retailers. You can download “Falling For You” for freehere, on our official website, and on our Myspace profile! Come see us at a show if you want to buy a CD, and soon enough we will have other merchandise available.

06 - Falling For You (Acoustic)
So here’s an acoustic cover that has been in the works for quite a while. I recorded it around early/mid-2007 and finally found Jon IX to sing it. We were planning on doing a bunch of select songs from Drowning Pool’s first album, but it sort of fell through. Anyway, here’s “Sinner” featuring Jon IX on vocals.
On November 22nd, Our 11th Hour will be recording their debut demo EP at Subcat Studios. The tracklist will include “Bleed Me Dry,” “Falling For You,” “Untitled 2,” and “11th Hour (Part II).” The demo will be available for $5 at any show, but for the release party, a set number of copies will be given away for free. It will also be available on iTunes and Amazon which will include a free acoustic version of “Falling For You.” “Bleed Me Dry” will be available for free on the band’s Myspace profile and official website.
I found an old file that I was messing around with earlier today and edited it up a bit to experiment with vocal effects. It’s a short version of “Hear You Me” by Jimmy Eat World- just the first verse and chorus. It’s composed entirely of vocal recordings with effects placed on them. I think it turned out pretty well.
I finished recording and editing a song that we’ll be including in our first full length album which is now called “Of Halos & Hand-Grenades” as a hidden song at the end. It really pushes the stylistic ambient theme we use to represent the “afterlife” in the album (or at least our character’s perception of it).
I’ve finished laying out and coding the new official website for Our 11th Hour. It’s integrated with Myspace and ReverbNation, and is written with the writing style of a Wikipedia page because it’s what people who view music profiles are most familiar with. Check it out at www.our11thhour.com.
Our 11th Hour, also effectionately known as “The Tie Guys” played at the “Nikstock Survival Party” along with Temptor, Cliff Diver, The Others and Cold Ethyl.
Our 11th Hour played at Station 58 tonight along with Shocker. We’ll be going back frequently so make sure to come check us out. We’re also known as “The Tie Guys.”
I just designed what will be our full logo for Our 11th Hour (the “wings” design will remain as a little identifier). The idea was to subtly reference a clock and I wanted to use my usual minimalist style. I just really like how everything lines up; most notably the “TH” lines up with the top of the “11″ (as it would as a superscript). I really love having a finished design that is just so locked in. The previous example dictates where the rest of the type needs to go for it to work, which I think is so cool for logo design because it’s such a small area to work with.
After listening to the original for the hundreth time, I thought it would be awesome to cover this song. The solo is so fun to play. I was experimenting to see what my new guitar would sound like using a direct input instead of mic’ing the sound hole. I’m probably going to stick with the microphone, but I’m still really pleased with the sound quality.
Just got my new electric guitar today that will complete my setup for quite a long time. I got an Agile AL-2000 with a Floyd Rose bridge from Rondo Music. That’s where I got my other electric as well. Eventually I’ll be putting a custom raised pickguard on it to complete the look of it. Another thing that I’ll upgrade down the road are the pickups; I’m thinking about an EMG 85 at the bridge, but I’m not sure what I’m going to do yet. For now it’ll stay stock.
This is the album cover for the Musician’s Lounge compilation where song lengths are all 30 seconds max. I thought this was a neat concept for that idea.
I just bought what will hopefully be the last acoustic guitar I buy for a very long time. It’s a Tacoma Roadking that I got used. It’s in fantastic shape and plays like a dream! It’s got a solid sitka top and solid mahogany body which is one of the things that turned me on to it because I’ve been stuck in a composite/laminate rut for some reason. I should have some recordings of it up soon (if I can pull myself away from playing it for long enough to set up some microphones).
I just finished migrating all of the posts from my music blog directly into the main website. This way I don’t need to post everything twice. Groggie.com/music now redirects to the music/audio category on this blog. All of the previous songs are here so nothing has changed, and any future songs will be posted right on the main site now.
The category list on the right sidebar can be used to navigate through the different types of music and sort by each category. As always, the search bar at the top can be used to find a specific song or any other post on the website.
