Tourniquet has a Kickstarter up for a NEW ALBUM!

I'd pay for the whole thing if he got the original members back and grew his mullet back out.

I've said it *countless* times: he needs to get Guy or Gary back.

this could be HUGE if he did.

Someone loves Ted's hair. Perhaps we should be concerned?

Cant deny he had great hair!!!

So this Kickstarter began in August, ended in September, and estimated a completion date of March 2017. But I've seen absolutely nothing to indicate that they've even begun to record. Nothing about a vocalist. Nothing on the Kickstarter page. Just no news whatsoever...

Has anyone heard anything about this?  Ted needs to send an update, I think.

Wow, it's been so long since the last news I'd forgotten about it
And it's due

I asked for an update in the Kickstarter comments back in January. No responses.

Yeah, I totally understand delays, and that's the norm with these things. I never expect the target date to be met. But just to go completely silent doesn't seem fair to the nearly 500 people who contributed.

I backed this and have been wandering myself when we can expect to get our pledged packages.

I'm willing to wait, but would like an update. I backed the Michael Knott Kickstarter on October 3, 2014, and just got my record 2 weeks ago.

I don't even remember what package I pledged. But when I was going to back this campaign, I knew that we would have to wait a long time before getting our perks. The Onward to Freedom album was delivered more than a year late.
My main concern is that Ted didn't make any announcement about the new singer.

Haven't followed this band for long at all, although I've known about them for a while now. I love their older stuff a lot. I'd LOVE something like, or at least very similar, to Psycho Surgery. In my opinion (From that of their music I've heard so far) is their best album, or at least their best 90's album. My personal fav.


If I get some spare cash in time, and if their Kickstarter is still up, I'd more than likely throw my money down blindly just for any chance at all to get another Tourniquet album.

NHave asked for an update a few days ago, still nothing.......not happy with this campaign.  The Deliverance crowdfunding has been awesome though.

First of all, Ted didn't have a mullet per se. Bangs, maybe. Sorry to split hairs (har-dee-har-har). I took these pics in 1993 in Houston.
Second of all, I'm looking forward to the new vocalist announcement and new music. I assumed Aaron would handle shouting vocals as he has for the past 20+ years (except on WMARD). I think two new vocalists would be too much shell-shock for old fans like me to handle. Not sure why that would happen, unless Aaron is no longer with the band? 

I don't care if Ted grows out only those curly little hairs at the bottom of the neck and shaves the rest, just so I get the next record, I'm happy.

Help out a real band like Deliverance.

I funded them too.

I haven't seen much speculation on who the new vocalist will be. Here's my speculation:
The more I think about this, the more I think it could be Nick Villars. This guy was/is virtually unknown, so why did Ted have him do vocals on 3 songs from Onward to Freedom? Seems like he was trying to slowly introduce this guy to Tourniquet fans. While his vocals were cool on those songs, I can't really picture him taking over lead vocal duties.
The other guy I think it could be is Eli Prinsen. Haven't heard anything about him since he left Sacred Warrior last year. While his style with The Sacrificed and Sacred Warrior doesn't match Tourniquet's music, I could see him adjusting to a more thrash-like style and bringing a new twist to the band:

I heard a rumor in my mind that you were on the new record.

Ted just posted that Tourniquet is playing a show in Mexico on April 14th, only two weeks from now. He is also commenting that the lineup will be announced very soon.

I'd be happy to get a "voiceless" album now, then have the option to get the full album in the future.

love the voiceless records

Ted sent an update today. The songs are written but are still taking shape. He apologizes for the delay but the record is still happening.

I saw that as well. This is another Kickstarter for which I'd like to have my money back.
