WE NEED YOUR HELP my friends...

I wrote our song "Cut Down" for the troops, because they are unsung heroes. and it has made the X96 finals to open up for Blink 182 and Taking Back Sunday!

It would be a dream come true to play this show...

PLease help by voting for Formerly So at:

http://blinkvoting.x96.com/

It literally takes 5 seconds, and you can vote twice a day per computer. Pass it on, and help us make this a reality... Thanks

Thanks to all those that are already reposting this...
