Alex has left a new Blog entry on his Myspace, here is part of his message....
"Due to the current state of the music business and how tough it is out there, the powers that be have decided it's best
to release my album worldwide during the first quarter of next year. With a little more time, this record can be properly
set up with all the money and push possible, not to mention completely perfecting the songs and recordings on the record
and maybe even adding some more great ones. You guys are the most important to me and I am going to do everything in my
power to continue to keep you in the loop and also give you new music until my record comes out..."

April
Here is a message Alex posted when he was in New York in April..."www.alexband.net"
Hey everyone! The record is almost done being mixed now! Only five more songs to go! I still don't have a release date yet, but I'm hoping to know more in the next month as my finished record begins to circulate around my record label. I wanted to let you all know about something else exciting as well. I am currently in NY doing press and performances for an upcoming movie called "The Final Season". They are premiering the movie at the Tribeca film festival here on Saturday.
It's a really great movie and a superb writer named Mitch Allen and I wrote the end credit song. I don't know when the movie will be released, but I've heard end of summer. The song should be available on iTunes when my record is released later this year. More news to come!
All the love…

This message posted by Alex Band on his Myspace and official website March 12th...(and check out the latest in the studio video! Alex My Space ).......
"Hey everyone! I wanted to give you all an update, as my timeline has unfortunately changed a bit. Just this last week,
I did the final live string sessions for the record, it was by far the most magical moment yet. Check back later today
to watch it all in the 15th in-studio video!
I will be doing some final tweaking this coming week on the album, and then we will be mixing everything in a couple weeks,
which will take some time as well. I don’t know how much you all know about the current state of the music business,
but it is very, very bleak. Major labels are dropping like flies, record stores are closing left and right, and
bands…talented bands, are getting let go on a daily basis. It’s a sad thing to be a part of this and watch it over the
last bunch of years. Needless to say, this does affect me. Every step I take to push my record to come out sooner, I have
to take another step back, due to other circumstance that I have no control over. Now, with all that said, I want you all
to know that my record will come out this year, it will be better than you can imagine, and my label is very much behind it.
All this extra time has done nothing but let me write more incredible songs and make this record sound even better…so there
is a positive! But obviously, just like all of you, I am wanting to be out there touring and sharing this album with the world.
It’s getting very close, but it won’t be this month like I was told. Instead of specifying an actual week or month, I am
just going to tell you guys once I know the actual date, when it is set in stone. I am still as excited as I’ve been,
if not more, and I will continue to update you all on the rest of the process. All the love!!!"

January 13, 2007 -New Message from Alex on his myspace..
It's '07! Back to Work!
Hey guys! It's a new year and I am back at work. Check out the new in-studio video that I just put up. Also, if you haven't already, sign up to be on the mailing list at www.alexband.net. The album is coming along amazingly and there's only 3 songs left to record! I start next week with a great producer named Chuck Reed to record two more songs, one of which is "Tonight". Then I will be doing the final song, "Please", with another awesome producer named Jon Fiel.
2007 is going to be a crazy year for me...and I'm ready!!! All the love...
December 2006
Alex sent everyone a holiday message on his 'myspace' and on his official website! He send a gift which is available through
www.alexmaxband.com
Here's the message....
Happy holidays!!
Happy Holidays Everyone!!! Wow, it's almost 2007! I never thought the day would come! Next year is going to be amazing! My record is finally going to come out and I get to tour the world again and see you all! There's still much work to be done on the record…next month I will be finishing up the two songs I'm currently working on with Matt Serletic, doing all the live strings for the 6 songs I recorded with Tal, recording 3 other songs with two new producers, finishing producing the song Arms and I wrote, and finally mixing everything with an amazing mixer named Jack Joseph Puig! And then of course it will be time to get a kick ass band together and get ready for the fun stuff! The first single is still due out March and the record will be released worldwide sometime around June. As always, I wanted to leave you all a special Holiday treat, so Debbie has been kind enough to put it up on her site for download: www.alexmaxband.com. It's one of my favorite songs that I wrote and produced out myself earlier this year here at my house. Unfortunately it's one of many songs that didn't make it on this record, so I thought I should share with all of you! Also, the last in-studio video of the year will be put up this Friday and it's going to be a good one. I'm off to Florida for the Holidays and will be returning at the beginning of the year to get back to work! I want to thank you all again for your continued support…I have the best family of fans a guy could ask for! So, I wish you all a Happy Holidays and a Happy New Year and I'll see you in 2007! All the love…
