hey guys!

over the next month or so we will be updating with a lot of content!  we want to fill you in on what our time in the studio was like and a lot of what went on.  we also want to know if you guys would like to do stickam chats or interviews or whatever.  please let us know!  if you have any requests from us, please tell us!  we may even put up a new song or two :)

the EP is almost done.  we had some set backs that pushed it back from the original date to ... well to now.  there is no OFFICIAL release date but it will be this year either next month or early December for sure. 

so anyway, let us know what you want from us!  more blogs?  interviews?  videos? 
xbox live game?  the songs will be posted ASAP!  we can't wait to show you what we've been working on.
and again, very sorry for the delay. 

we love all of you.
and if you didn't see before, Early Love is back up on iTunes
right HERE
and its only $6.93, too.  that's less than a #9 at taco bell.  and ours is healthier, too.

Hey!

It's been a long time!  But we are very happy to announce that we are wrapping up the finishing touches on the new EP!  All that is left is one more guest vocal and then it will be ready to be mixed.  
We have a lot of videos and things to post from the studio, too.  We'll get all that up and going as soon as we take new pictures and get ourselves a bit updated from this old myspace.  
Recording was (and always is) so much fun.  We had to get everything done in the small amount of time that Justin had off with A Rocket To The Moon: just about one month.  So in that time we practiced, wrote, and recorded everything.  It turned out to be plenty of time.  So anyways, things are now back up and running.  We are so happy with the way these songs turned out and we really hope that you guys will be too!  
This time, for me, the writing was about creating songs that felt natural.  The writing process was so comfortable and fun.  It was definitely the best time we have had writing so far, I believe.  
Anyways, I hope to hear from all of you.  Please keep in touch with us as we will be spending more time on here with you!  We love hearing from all of you and wouldn't be able to do this without you.  Honestly!

Hey guys, im sorry we haven't let you know about us and what we have been up to in a long time. We miss you! I, justin, have been playing with a rocket to the moon. As you might know we finished up in the studio with Matt Squire and it was amazing! So much fun :) we are currently on the AP tour with the maine, 3oh3!, hit the lights, and family force 5. Some of the best shows, and bands i have ever met in my life. Jimmy is at home going to school and designing the worlds best merch. Alex is still bein the coolest dude on earth, while hanging out with friends and enjoying being home for the time. Brighten is not breaking up and never will!! We love each other and all of you too much to ever let that happen. We will be writing and recording a new record asap. The 3 of us will be back together. We will be releasing it on iTunes and smartpunk like always. Just as many songs as we can do. We love writing together and we miss it. We are going to put all of our hearts into this record just like every other one, we hope you like it! Brighten will try to be playing shows in the near future again, but with conflicting schedules it is hard. We promise to be out and about soon though! Thank you all for being so amazing and still being a part of our family. We love you so much. We love how we know a lot of you by name and talk to you. We would love to get to know more of you and all of your friends so be sure to be writing us. I promise we will get better at updating our myspace and writing all of you back :) thank you again and be sure to keep checking in for new music! its coming :) love one another, life is too good and short.

god bless!

love, justin

Hey everyone,
I just wanted to say hello and see how everyone was doin? I also wanted to apologize for lack of commenting. As you all know..or should know..we are on tour with Danger Radio right now and finding internet on the road can be very very difficult. Every second I get I am on myspace talkin to you guys. Anyways, I just wanted to make sure you guys understood our lack of commenting and messaging. Hopefully we get to see all of you very soon.
Love
Ben and Brighten

Hey
So we are just hangin out in Salt Lake still... the tour with Danger Radio starts tomorrow and we are super pumped. I hope we get to meet all of you cuz its gunna be a lot of fun. Anyways...people ask us all the time what kind of things we like on tour that they can bring us..and i never can think of stuff. So, i was wondering...if you guys were on tour/stuck on a deserted island what kind of things would you have to have with you in order to survive?. Hopefully this will give me some good ideas for next tour. :)
love
