Time is Running Out (Where to Start) - by High Flight Society

Picked up their self-titled debut this weekend (which, by the way, was amazing - Overflow rocked!)... & I must say, I do love it.  lol
HFS was formed in 2001 & is 2 brothers (Michael & John Packer - guitar & bass, respectively) and 2 others (Jason Wilkes & Scotty Lockridge - voc's & drums, respectively) based out of Cedartown, GA.  "From Far Above Somewhere EP" was out in 2006 on Selectric Records & they followed that with their self-titled debut LP June 5th, 2007 on RKT Music.  Success ensued with their singles "Sweet Redeemer", "Declaration", & "Time is Running Out", & hence, much touring also ensued (including on the 2007 "Southern Hospitality Tour" headed by Disciple with Spoken, The Wedding, Wavorly & HFS); but RKT pulled out/"shut its doors" shortly after, &, as their bio reads, "partially [extinguished] the flame of what was a promising career" - 'partially' being the operative word.  June 12th, 2009 saw the release of their "Par Avion" EP.  From Dec. 2010 through the end of Jan. 2011, they raised money through Kickstarter to record their up & coming EP.  In addition, they posted a 'studio sneak peak' video on YouTube (link below) in late April this year.  This song is from their self-titled LP.

P.S. Sorry for missing the past couple days...  Like I mentioned, Overflow 2011 (in Waterloo, On.) was awesome!
