So i guess this would be classified as a long over due update.  but heres whats going down.  We are taking most of December and January off to finnish our Full length CD.  We have been working hard on completing the final songs.  We will have some guest Vocalists and Musicians on this effort, Proving to be our best Music to date.  We are currently planning out our time lines for recording and mastering.  We are hoping on having a late april release on Truth or Justice Records.  There are Touring plans for around this time as well.  So dont fret, we will be making our way down south and along the east coast.  We are super excited for all this to start moving along, And cant wait to see some more smiling (and angry) faces at our upcoming shows.  So stay tuned....we will update you as time goes along. thanks for taking the time to read this.

Much Love

The Best Man: i wrote this song as a tribute to my grandparents.  they were two of the most amazing people i have ever had the pleasure of being in contact with.  Never take the relationships that you have for granted, someday they may be gone and all you will have left is memories.

Period Blood Sandwich:  I wrote this about abusive relationships.  This being something that nobody wants i figured it fit well with the song title.  Its a figurative story that pens the protagonist, Jean, against her abusive counterpart.  in the end Jean makes it out of the relationship alive and well, but not without her scars.

Anthony Michael Hall as "the geek": This is a song about students and how cruel they can be to one another.  In a day where school shootings have become almost as common as the bullies themselves, you would think this would change the ideals of the children they come into contact with.  Sadly they do not and will not, this is the problem i have with what the future holds.

Ted Bundy vs Peggy Bundy (cagematch!):  At first this was going to be an anti stalker song, but it evolved into a song about both perspectives. The hunter and the hunted, and the different roles they play in each others lives.

Brothers in Arms:  This i wrote as an anthem of some sort to all of the people that are a part of my life.  I hold them close to my heart and i will never let them forget it.  Family and Friends mean the world to me.  They make me what i am today. MY LIFE IS FOR MY FRIENDS!

The Difference Between Michael Madsen and Tom Sizemore:
Have you ever let a relationship (friendly or Intimate) become so saturated with lies and deceit that you dont know whether to continue trying to work through it or to just write it off all together?  This is what i chose to write about.  like i said before friendship is everything to me.  so dont take it for granted.

So thats that, if anyone cares, there are the meanings of the songs that we have as of now.  i hope you enjoy.

the difference between michael madsen and tom sizemore

weve come to a crossroad
burning bridges from the inside
how much will could it take?
to find a subtle bend in this time of strife
weve been at this game long enough to own the whole team
feeling out life one step at a time
if these walls could talk they'd be fed up to the ceiling
our chandolier has heard it all before
you scream and shout to hide your fear
but we all know what you hold so close to your heart
its the little things that left us here to rot
this is the end
we never thought it would end this way
A swollen home is the role you roped
filling our falic throne
setting this life aflame
mistaken and distraught
trapped inside a shell full of choices
for us to discover friend and foe
all our travels have ended up in misery
our misery
but this time will pass like it did before
weve all been let down before but this time we say no more
