InfluencesMetaphors and Impressions seen and felt in everyday situations around us. Being able to recognize it is to be conscious of it. Learning about real coincidence then twisting it into your favor. We're talking signs and opportunity not luck and fate. Who we are at this time is who we once wanted to be. Everyone is in control of who they become in life, so grind until you get it, Homies.

A Seperate Part Of The City That You Haven't Seen.

"They" say it isn't wise to go into business with friends…That you'll never come out alive, but once you grasp 'BE STILL', the new debut full-length album from THE ABILITY, you'll begin questioning everything They ever told you to be true.

A fresh rock influence has arrived out of the Midwest, and they're offering you something different; something more than any band has in a long time.

Hailing from Chicago, IL, with massive sounds that loom as large as the city's endless stretch of skyscrapers, THE ABILITY- Craig Hewitt - Lead Vocals/Guitar, Mike Kosch - Bass Guitar, Al Ricco - Lead Guitar and Steve Mac on Drums have spent the better half of the last year in the recording studio with Producer Jonathan Clardy (With Dead Hands Rising, Victorian Halls) where they created, and then perfected their engrossingly large, anthemtic music. Now this October '08 they are ready to unveil their orchestrated passion via Mediaskare/Crazy Lucky Records (As Blood Runs Black, The Messenger), presenting a sound that is brilliantly melodic, yet often mirrors a darker, heavier realism. Throughout, 'Be Still' floats listeners from thought-provoking lyrics to a theme of pause; a moment to appreciate a single second in time that will be gone, possibly before it was even realized. Craig: "It's about finding something that is very special and fragile and then abusing it. It's too much of a good thing. It's about keeping secrets to your self. It's about knowing your real friends."

The album's very title is a warning, directed at a deeper concept crafted over time, experience, and above all, an appreciation; the inner psyche of four talents on a forward momentum. A shared enlightenment.

It's time to focus more thought into what you already give your time to. What have you learned? Imagine what you will learn from here…"They" are now "Them". We are now "Us". In the end, it is a question of "What is really important to you?"

Now, The Ability find themselves ready to embark on a national tour, supporting headliners MEST across the country, an interesting connection historically that further establishes their 'full-circle' vision of things…

Are you ready to come out alive?

This Sunday, October 5th will be the fourth year I'll be taking part in the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation's Walk to Cure Diabetes. I'm writing you to ask for your support in sponsoring me in a cause that is very special to me, as it has affected a member of my family for several years. If you can spare just a few dollars it would be greatly appreciated and will go along way for JDRF.

Please visit my Walk Web page if you would like to donate online or see how close I am to reaching my personal goal:

Thanks in advance for your help!
Are you the bullet?
