As many of you know, The Convalescence keeps an insanely busy tour schedule year around and is funded completely independently. We have no label support, no sponsor money, no private investors. Only what we make on tours, through online merch sales, and what we can come up with out of our own pocket. On our recent tours we have faced crazy gas prices for Diesel Fuel (over $8.00 per gallon in some places) as well as the rising cost of Merch Printing, Crew Costs, Bus Repairs, Food, Lodging, etc. On the tour we just finished we had to replace the front axle on our bus along with several other needed repairs in order to finish the tour which totaled over $4,000 and it pretty much wiped us out.

We have a new album nearly complete which we will be in the studio finishing tracking for next week but we still have to come up with the cost of Mixing, Mastering, and Artwork and in addition to this we will need to buy a new touring vehicle for 2027 as our bus is currently unfit to tour long distances and would cost far more than it's worth to make all of the needed repairs. We are working extremely hard to come up with the funds to make these goals happen in a timely manner, but the expenses have been piling up faster than the income.

We are not big fans of asking for help from all of you and we have only used the GoFundMe platform twice in the past in dire emergency situations. Although we are not currently physically stranded anywhere, we are very much stuck as far as moving the band forward, getting this new album out, and getting a safe and reliable tour vehicle before we hit the road again in 2027.

What we are asking for is help to tackle these immediate expenses so we can get back on our feet, put some new music out, and continue to move forward. Any help is greatly appreciated and anyone who donates to this gofundme or to the band privately will be thanked in the upcoming album booklet. Anyone who donates over $100 will receive a thank you package from the band.

We appreciate all of the support you've shown us over the past 15 years and we are looking forward to many more.
