The record is titled Dressed Up and In Line and is due out November 27, 2007.

The band explained a little bit about the project:

We’re taking rare and unreleased recordings from the last 7 years and revisiting the original tracks. All of them are going to be re-mixed and re-mastered. Many of them are going to be updated a bit with added strings, vocals, keys, and guitars. Some will be altered more than others. The goal is to have a cohesive album that can be listened to as a whole, rather than just a hodgepodge of songs (can you use the word “hodgepodge” in an official press release? I don’t know…but I did…twice).

The disc will be released on the band’s previous label, The Militia Group.
