5 dollars.



Sorry I couldn't help myself.  The "Super CD Early Bird Special" is limited to 75 backers.  So in effect, when 75 people have pledged for the cd at the $10 price, anyone else who wants a cd will have to pay the $15 amount.

The As the Story Grows podcast with Erik Mendez was heart-breaking because he said he, Victor, Guy, and Gary were all down to do a Tourniquet reunion tour in 2009ish but Ted didn't respond.  The world could have had greatness once again.  So sad.

I pledged for the "cd early bird special".  There are still some available, and 4 people paid the full $15 to get the cd.  I also note that two people paid $20 for the cd and download...

Ted wrote:Hey everyone - I know most of you are wondering who the singer will be for the new Tourniquet album. Here's the best I have for you right now: The choice has been narrowed down to a very short list - all of whom are great vocalists. There will be awesome "singing" on the album, but 100% for sure - as there is on almost all Tourniquet albums - there will also be "screaming", "thrash vocals" - or whatever you want to call it. For me, some music just calls for a very aggressive delivery that only works with that style. I've said this before, but just because you stand up and yell into a mic doesn't mean you're any good at it (like if I would try to do it) much less that it sounds cool on an album. That being said, the "singer" and the "screamer" will likely be two different people, as you see in countless bands who effectively employ both types of vocals.
So - the vocals need to be "right" for THIS music, so that we can offer you the absolute best that we are able to. As a result, when the music is closer to completion will probably be when we are able to announce the vocalist(s).
Thank you to everyone who reserved a reward so far - not knowing just who will be doing the vocals. Your comments and messages like "Hey, it's Tourniquet - that's all I need to know." - are very encouraging. And for those who will "wait and see" until the vocalist(s) are announced - or even later - when the album is released - I fully understand and respect your choice.
