About
Love No Love is an annually released 2 disc compilation that benefits groups in the Pacific Northwest working against domestic abuse and assault.

"Disc one of Love No Love evokes the happier side of the emotion with silly, sweet, and sexy love songs, while disc two is a tribute to love's darker aspects- the breakups, the betrayal, the broken hearts." - Megan Seling

About
Tour Journals are musician-written documents of their experiences touring. The project cross indexes the Venue Database, and aside from being entertaining and a good tangential outlet for artists on the road, hopes to be valuable as an information-sharing resource to artists planning their own travels.
