Ace Enders provides update
Alternative Press - Brian Shultz on 6/7/08 @ 12:27 PM - altpress.com
Their 11-song debut, recorded this past winter, will be released in August or September, the lateness due to "hold ups that I had no control over," said Enders. "It was all very complicated and dramatic, but it's been settled now."
However, Enders will be tiding fans over with a free eight-song EP/mini-album of sorts, to be posted digitally within the next two weeks. All eight songs were recorded within the last few weeks and will be exclusive to the release, meaning none will reappear on the aforementioned proper full-length being released by Drive-Thru Records.
The band will be testing out the material when they embark later this month on a tour with Cute Is What We Aim For.
Tyga full album stream posted

The album is titled No Introduction and is due out June 10.
