MyChildren MyBride

edit

In April 2011 guitarist Dan Alvarado decided that it was time for him to leave the band. He posted a message as a note on Facebook citing God's leading for him to go a different direction. There are no hard feelings between him and the rest of the band.[6] He was replaced by Hunter Walls.

In October 2011, Mychildren Mybride entered the studio with Zeuss at Planet Z Recordings in Hadley Massachusetts to record their third Solid State Records release entitled MyChildren MyBride, set to be released on March 13, 2012.[7]

The band toured in support for For Today on the Fight the Silence Tour in March and April 2012.[8] In mid-2012, the band toured on the Scream the Prayer Tour.[9] 6 Bassist Joe Lengson left the band in March 2012[10] to be replaced by Nelson Flores of The Great Commission and Sovereign Strength.

Label change
