Quite a few of you have expressed interest in the album artwork.

What does it mean? Where did it come from?

Well, here’s the scoop…

I have been an artist as long as I’ve been a singer – practically all my life. And since Hydrovibe has embraced the DIY philosophy, it seemed fitting that I work with New Level Graphics to create the visual embodiment of our music.

But where to begin? Well, at the beginning, of course. When we packaged up our EP in 2006 and hit the road, we really were stepping out into the unknown. We put our lives – and our bank accounts – on the line to create this album. So, for us, the title has significant meaning – we really have NOTHING LEFT TO LOSE, and I am completely happy with this place in my life. The decision is one none of us have ever second-guessed or regretted.

So, when coming up with the composition, I wanted to capture the feelings of being on tour for the better part of two years. Sometimes, I felt happy… sometimes sad. Sometimes glamorous… most of the time pretty grungy. There’s always a physical and emotional hunger lurking around. Some nights, even though I’m surrounded by crowds of fans I felt very alone, but I always knew I had the three other Hydrovibe members to count on. The guys have become my brothers, and I depend on them. I trust them. So, the four figures on the album cover are grouped as a unit – a single entity comprised of four unique people. (For those of you who have seen me on tour – you’ll recognize me as the one with the red backpack. It’s a permanent part of who I am on tour!) These figures who are Hydrovibe are on a journey that will define not only who we are becoming… but the music we will be making for years to come.

We’ve put our hearts and our souls into this album. I hope the cover art is able to convey that passion… that dedication… that excitement of bringing Hydrovibe to you! And I hope you enjoy the music as much as we do!

If you don’t already have a copy of the album, it’s available at our Big Cartel store, on iTunes, and on Amazon.com.
