So what's the reason behind the split?
Is it a hiatus, are you guys gonna focus on college and other stuff after highschool, or did it just have to do with issues within the band.
Either way you guys made amazing music and will always be one of my favorite artist. Your way better then most bands with who are signed with labels and such. If I can talk my mom into letting me go out at 7pm then I'll try my best to make it to the farewell show.

You're like my yo-yo that glowed in the dark. What made it special made it dangerous, so I bury it and forget.

Do you guys have a promo cd or something that I can use without having to listen through myspace?

I thought you could still download MP3's off myspace but I guess that isn't possible anymore, plus it's not supporting the band.

Welly welly,
let me know guys.

Seriously.

Maybe as a birthday present or something.


Thanks.
