Hello everyone, I am writing this to formally announce that as of Sat., Nov. 28th I am no longer a member of Hey, Caesar! Over the past few months I have contemplated and thought hard over the decision to what my future would hold, and just didn't see myself being in the band anymore.

I know there are ALOT of people who are wondering where the "What Is Love" cover is. The reason behind us taking down the cover, is because of legality issues. We do not own the copyrights to the song, and at this present time have been unsuccessful in receiving 

Hey guys! We are posting this blog in order to updates everyone as to the whereabouts, status, and future of Hey, Caesar! For starters we as a band have decided that it is in the best interests of the band, and for our friendships, that Hey, Caesar! continues on without our current keyboardist Alex Craig.

This decision has been a long time coming, and not to get into the details, but we felt that Alex's dedication and drive to continue on with us had met it's end. This obstacle that we've had to come to terms with has been one of the most difficult things we've ever as a band, friends, and brothers have encountered since this roller-coaster of a career has begun. We wish Alex our best in all of his future endeavors. Whether in life, music, or anything else Alex decides to do, we know this isn't the last you've heard of him.

As far as what we will be doing for the keyboardist position, we have someone in mind, and can't wait to announce who it is. So just bear with us at the moment, and be patient. Good things are coming, WE PROMISE!


Your Fave Boys of,
Hey, Caesar!

Hey guys.

I haven't been on in a while and we have been lax in staying in touch with everyone as we have been focusing on some really important things. Let's start with what needs to be taken care of.

We recently entered the recording studio with plans on professionally rerecording "Killing is the Only Way to Survive". This experience was an eye opener and helped us all to see what areas we needed to focus on. Needless to say, we were not able to finish recording the cd, and will be returning to the studio. However, when that time will come has yet to be decided. There were two new songs that had been recorded in the studio that were not finished. This moves me to my next point.

We have been deciding on a certain sound to work towards together as a collective. The songs that are on Killing is the Only Way to Survive are very diverse in means of consistency within instruments. For instance, A Chance Worth Taking has absolutely no keys and vocals are very separated. However, Almost Home has very synth intensive atmosphere, and has a big electronica feel.

When Hey, Caesar! first came together as mainly the remains of two broken bands, a lot of scraps were used to create the songs we have now, and although we enjoy all of them, we want to develop and harden our sound into something that is completely our own.

With this begin said, I am proud to announce that the first change that we will be bringing will be, while still making good use of autotune for very electronic parts, reducing the amount of use and letting my true voice sound through. This will free me to express certain parts through portamento and vibrato that I have not been able to do with autotune. Please keep in mind that not all of the songs will be changed, and some of them will still be autotuned the full way through (for instance, we love Almost Home exactly the way it is :] ) but for songs such as, once again, A Chance Worth Taking, we will only be autotuning the chorus, and using my voice and my voice alone during the verses. This technique and selection will be used on future songs to come as well.

As I had mentioned earlier, two of the songs were incompleted in the studio. One of the songs was a scrap song we had lying around that had been slightly rewritten. The other is a completely new creation that came about after making some of these decisions and selecting the route we wanted to take the most. There are a few words that can sum up the progession we have made: slightly more technical, heavier, and WAY more synth.

We will be recording this song at home, like all of the other songs on our myspace now, and releasing this version EXCLUSIVELY on myspace. We are currently finishing up the lyrics and vocal arrangements, and are excited to announce that this will be the next song we incorporate into our live set. We project to have this song done being written, recorded, and up on our myspace by the end of this month [April 2009].

We are excited to be bringing this concreted sound to the table and are moving towards being completely genrized as "electronicore".

Thanks for all of your support.
I can't stress how much we absolutely love you guys.
You mean everything to us and we have full faith that you will love what we're cooking.

Stay classy,
Sean

Run Away Run Away
Run Away Run Away
Run

Run Away Run Away
Run Away Run Away

Run
Can't you tell there's no turning back now?
I can hear your heart pound in your throat so loud
I shove this pole like a steak right through your chest [Your chest]
We have to do our best

This motion picture's played in my head a thousand times
Forever and ever, Never again
With blood on our hands, The flag's almost home
We're tying the tethers and nearing the end

Cold Nights and Moonlight [Backstabbers]
Killing is the only way to survive
Glazed eyes and Cloudless Skies [Forever]

This motion picture's played in my head a thousand times
Forever and ever, Never again
With blood on our hands, The flag's almost home
We're tying the tethers and nearing the end

Posted up, You never even stood a chance
Did you notice your feet catching up to your heartbeat?
You never left my crosshairs
You never left my crosshairs
POSTED UP, You never even stood a chance
POSTED UP, You didn't have a chance

Cold Nights and Moonlight [Backstabbers]
Killing is the only way to survive
Glazed eyes and Cloudless Skies [Forever]

Cold Nights and Moonlight
Glazed eyes and Cloudless Skies



03. My Starlet Has Become a Harlot

I will stand my ground
Behold the strength of TRUTH AND POWER
Of the great vine

How can you swim in muddy water?
Learn to clean the vapors around you
For the beginning held something special
And the end holds the same

Words of wisdom from sandy
Clean your tracks before you venture forward in life

Here's to you and me, For I want to feel alive again
Here's to you and me, For I want to feel alive again

As the wine glasses crash the sound echoes with a fury unmatched
Signing the contract and marking the moment of filth

Fuck it, You were just a Fuck anyway.

You were just a Fuck anyway.

Words of wisdom from sandy
Clean your tracks before you venture forward in life
Words of wisdom from sandy
I promise you, you won't catch on until it's too late

Until it's too late...




04. Short Like Us

I can't believe just how much we were on fire
I guess I should have known it wouldn't be too long before it would rain

I guess I'll make this short
Kind of like us




05. Clockwork

The clock is ticking
And I don't know when it will stop
It's death black hands
Will reap us on his mark
Understand
These are the signs of the end
So let's dance our last dance friend

The blood moon rises and fills the air with a flowers fragrance
A new meaning of the word rapture is born
Ending pages of the prophecy torn

All we can do now is wait
For the one we all know to hate
Do you know what it's like knowing you are about to be fooled?
We are the ones who will let him rule

It's all our fault

Tick tock, I'm not, Will not
Rutheless
Benevolent
Finalities
Repeation
Where's the end?
Fairtaled blackness
Fabled madness
It comes again

Will I be the one that's left in the field?
Will I have to fight sword and shield?

Until the day I die I will try to live out every inch of my life
Until the day I die I will try to live out every inch of my life
Until the day I die, I'll live out every inch of my life
Until the day I die, I'll live out every inch of my life




06. Freedom (Part 3)

Here I am again
These chains are wrapped around me
I'm bound from head to toe

These ropes [These ropes]
In the form of words
Always seem to grow back in vines

And yet another day goes by
And another day destroys my mind
Can no one see that I'm not all right?
So now I down another pill
To numb a pain, It helps me kill
Anything that makes me feel not all right

Only eyes

If you could only see what I've seen
All the eyes that plague all my dreams
You might get an idea for half the shit that I have been through

Grab hold and don't let go

And yet another day goes by
And another day destroys my mind
Can no one see that I'm not all right?
So now I down another pill
To numb a pain it helps me kill
Anything that makes me feel not all right

I'm not all right

And yet another day goes by
And another day destroys my mind
Can no one see that I'm not all right?
So now I down another pill
To numb a pain it helps me kill
Anything that makes me feel not all right

All right
I'm not all right




08. A Chance Worth Taking

Now the morning light creeps over the horizon
Like a horizontal door slowly being opened
And my eyes won't undilate
Even as the darkness runs away
Scores of armies fight in my stomach
As my throat tries to throw up my heart
I'm left with glossy eyes
As I feel the last part of my die

OH MY GOD
There's nothing of me left
Am I damned to a normal life just to waste away like everyone else?
And Oh My God
I'm pressing charges
For everything you took from me
I'll take it back

I wanna hear voices singing with me now
SING WITH ME
Sing with me now
I wanna see faces following my lead
Let me know that I still have a chance

Don't let go
Cause you're all that I have left
I don't understand how you can't see you mean everything to me
I need you all to follow me
You are the glue to my life
I just felt I needed to make it clear

I wanna hear voices singing with me now
SING WITH ME
Sing with me now
I wanna see faces following my lead
Let me know that I still have a chance

Move!


09. Farewell Memories

Why can't I just set straight?
Why do you hold me down?

I cannot take this anymore
Take back what you once took before
I cannot take this anymore
I know that I deserve this
I KNOW I'm only getting stronger
I KNOW I'm only getting faster
I KNOW I'm getting even smarter
I KNOW You won't get in my way

I'm tired of this town
I'm tired of this entire place
I can't let this go now
I won't let you slow my quickened pace

You're like the hand that sprouts right out of the ground
Grabs hold to my leg and relentlessly holds me down

I will look back on these memories and bid this farewell
I know I'll take this as far as I can go
With my will at my hand, and my hearts right by my side
I know I'll take this, I know I'll take this

Take this...

I'm tired of this town
I'm tired of this entire place
I can't let this go now
I won't let you slow my quickened pace

I'm tired of this town
i'm tired of this entire place
I can't let this go now
I won't let you slow my quickened pace

There's gotta be another way
There's got to be another way
I'll do this by myself
I'll do this all alone
I'll do this by myself



10. Weightless

Didn't you know that this time last fall
I did this all myself
Red, orange, and brown leaves
Crisp cold air that hurts my lungs
Black gravel against my feet
The world off my shoulders
Grass beckoning a lay
And nothing mattered

Weightless
It's a damn shame things change

And it feels like I've lost my hold
I'm at the edge of a dead end road
Pick up the pieces for me
Nothing is like what I'm told
I was dealt a winning hand
But I fold
Pull out the pieces to bleed

Weightless
It's a damn shame things change

How could you just walk out on me like that?
What have I done to deserve any of this?
I haven't done anything
Don't you know
I won't be here waiting for you
For you...

It's a damn shame things change

Hey guys, we just got an e-mail asking us this question. I figured that this question was coming from alot of people soon, so I decided that I would go ahead and just post a blog  explaining it to anyone who would like to know. We got the name from one of our song titles, and it represents the core members (founding ones), motto of sorts. It means that in life you sometimes treat people that you care for the best way you can, you treat them with the most respect, love, and give them everything you can. But in the end sometimes something will come up and they turn on you for some reason or another. This as happened to everyone, and especially with us (Sean, Eddie, Alex, and myself), but our philosophy is to just keep strifing and moving on to better ourselfs and the world and not to worry about or get caught up in that billsh** drama, and thats what this bands all about. Pretty much us just picking ourselfs up, brushing off our sholders, and keeping on, keeping on. So there you are folks the story behind Hey, Caesar! of sorts.

Peace Nigs
Billy
H,C!
