Transmission to the Hannahs » by Notorious M.A.T. ( band member )

After more than a year of writing (mostly while touring in europe) we finally got enough time off the road to start making the album that we've been waiting to make for our entire lives.


We knew we wanted complete control of the production, we knew we wanted to make it in chicago, and we knew what we wanted call it: Wake Up the Sleepers. - statement of affirmation in a music industry that has tragically lost its way.


Rather than spending half a year and half a fortune in an exotic location, we took it back to basics. -the way KH began so many years ago as an indie underground movement.


We called in all our favors, and began tracking for 16hrs a day for 2 months in 4 different studios at the same time.


True to the title, we lived basically like homeless vampires the entire time, and put everything we had into the record.


A lot of good friends lent their efforts as well- amanda palmer, benji madden, shiny toy guns, the birthday massacre, and even the entire chicago children’s choir.


When we finally emerged, we held in our hands a disc with 13 songs that is the proudest accomplishment of our lives.


As a gesture of faith to the fans, and as a symbol of our new label's progressive attitude, we'd like to offer you a first glimpse at the album.


This is New York City Speed -A song of guts and romance inspired by a fateful night I spent attending one of the notorious Motherfucker parties in the Village.


Thank you for your continued belief in us. We want to make you proud. This is our turn.


Fight the good fight Xo Mat, greg, dan and elias
