The band recently issued the following update:

"Hello one and all,

Thanks for following the JOP blog and updates. You can now find us on facebook as well so please drop by and be a part the JOP family there as well.

Festival will be released worldwide on February 19th. Interviews with JO and other band members is currently a full time job with 6 - 8 interviews every day for the past three weeks. Why does this matter? Because it shows how much interest the new CD is receiving. The reviews and comments from critics around the world has been nothing short of amazing. Festival will be rewarded with Albumn Of The Month in many of the European publications over the next few months. We hope you enjoy it as much as they have.

We decided to create a video log of the making of Festival and the creation of the songs. This is Part 1 (found below)

of our 3 part series. Hope you enjoy it!

The summer festival concert season and the fall tour plans are nearing completion. We hope to see all of you there especially the DVD concert filming at the 013 in Tilburg, Holland on October 15. This show will sell out so do not miss your chance. Go to the 013 website and order your tickets before it's to late.

Thanks for the support....and spread the word about JOP!"
