The cohesive diversity of this new album also demonstrates the maturation of the lyric and song writing by Corey Hobbis.

    The tour to support the album will take Porn On Beta through the northwest Americas, stopping in Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, Seattle and Victoria in late 2004. Following the web release of A 'Brand New Road To Nowhere', an extended CD will be available for purchase with three bonus tracks ('Crystal', 'Fake ID's and Felonies' and 'Sentiment') that are not available on the web release.
