Floodgate Records' The Myriad will release their national debut CD "You Can Trust a Ladder", on June 14, 2005.

Produced by Aaron Marsh of the band Copeland, the album artistically expresses the topics of day to day life- faith, frustration, failure, forgiveness.

Steven Tracy, guitarist and songwriter states, "We wanted to write an album that allowed people to think about and plug in their own experiences. Everyone's story is unique, and we wanted to create a forum for sharing our stories while allowing people to find their own significance within the album."

When asked about the recording, producer Marsh expressed, "The Myriad is one of those bands that you just really want to work with. They merge intelligent lyrics, creative instrumentation and wrap it in a package that is as artistic as it is accessible. Making this record was a great experience."

Folowing the album release shows- which will be in Seattle, WA and Redding, CA- the band hits the road again to attend festivals, concerts and colleges across the country.

Based in Costa Mesa, CA, Floodgate Records is home to a family of diverse artists (Rita Springer, Forever Changed, Yellow Second, Mourning September, Kate Miner) and distributed through Word Entertainment /WEA.
