The wildfires burning in southern California have claimed Kris from An Angle’s house, forcing him to cancel his current tour. Read a message from Kris below.

Hey, this is Kris from An Angle. I am writing to inform you all that our current tour has been cancelled. As some of you may have heard, my house was just destroyed by a fire and I am needed back at home to help deal with the situation. We’ll do our best to get back on the road once this mess has been sorted out. Thank you all for the kind words and support.

National Product was just added to the Canadian leg of the Saosin/Poison the Well tour which started yesterday today in Winnipeg (see dates below). The band will spend September on the road with Panic Division and The Transit War and October and November with Ivoryline, An Angle, Paulson and Fiore.

National Product’s debut full length Luna (featuring the smash single “Love Me” which is currently #1 on Hawaii’s Star 101.9) ) will be in stores nationwide on August 7th.

On August 10, National Product will play a special CD release show at Orange County’s Chain Reaction (www.allages.com for more info).

First off, a big thanks to Ana at Drive-Thru Records for all her help in setting this up. Also of course thank you Kris Anaya of An Angle for answering my questions.

Congratulations on releasing your new album; I got it in the mail the other day and have spent much time with it. How long did The Truth Is That You Are Alive take you to write and record?
