Hey everyone. We are aware that the page is messed up. We are in the process of getting it fixed. The good news is that it's messed up due to traffic on the site! So thanks for breaking it! Ryan and Sean

Could you pass this along to everyone and anyone? Jordan from New Found Glory's Mother has been diagnosed with an unknown infection that is attacking her heart. He's one of our best friends. As close as we are to our Moms, its impossible to imagine what he is feeling right now. Jordan and his family have set up a foundation where we can donate. Anything at all will help. Here is the website. Thanks everyone. www.helpmendaheart.com Ryan and Sean

Hey guys and gals. The new Every Avenue album came out today and is available on iTunes. I wrote with them on the song Girl Like That. Showing my pop music fetish for sure. Enjoy.

I don't know why we never put this up, but when i found out Weezer had a new record out, it reminded me that we were in this. Last December, Stereogum.com filmed some live performances with Rivers Cuomo for his Alone 2 album. I got a call saying that if we showed up with guitars, and cowboy attire, we could be in one of them. Why they had us in cowboy attire, i have no freaking idea. You can see Ryan in a few shots, and i am the one in the cowboy hat who nervously counts out the song(also present were Jose from Ozma, Derek from Alkaline Trio, Ricky from Melee, and some dude with a flute). Enjoy!

Hey there. This here blog is coming at you all the way from the sweltering paradise that is Tempe, AZ. Some of you may remember our old friend Ryan Mendez. Well, he has created quite the studio set up at his house here in AZ. Why AZ you ask? Ryan's wife is in graduate school for architecture at Arizona State. So over the last 8 months Sean and I have been traveling between my home in Athens, and his in San Diego to write songs. When we feel like they are ready to go we head here to AZ where Mendez slaps the lead guitars on and produces the sweet sounding demos you have all been listening to. (He won't be playing lead guitar in the band, however. That duty has been bestowed upon our friend Josh Portman, previously of the band Near Miss.)

     We have been writing and recording these songs in hopes that we get to record them all over again very soon. What I mean by that is these are the demos that we are hoping get us a new home at a new record label. This trip we recorded three songs. Monster, Empty Street, and Hang You Up. There is a version of Hang You Up on the myspace page but this one sounds much better thanks to Mr. Mendez. It looks like this is going to be our last trip out here for a good while. We have been told by the powers that be that these tunes are ready to"shop" as they say in Tinseltown. We will spend this week mixing these three and have them posted for you to hear the following week. But after that we may not be recording until we actually go make a full length record.

     So I wanted to say thanks. Thanks to everyone who has been following us as we have gone through these first few months. There is so much more to come and we really hope to be making an album that you can take home with you soon. 

     We will get these new demos up as quick as we can. I hope everyone has a great week. 

     One more thing, if you own any Kanye West albums, you should try and get your money back.

Hi y'all. Just writing to say hello, i know it has been a long time since we have done that. We are out here in Georgia, furiously writing away at what will be our first record. Just finished three new demos today, and i must say they sound quite mighty. Thanks for being faithful and continuing to check the site even when we aren't posting new stuff all the time. We will try and be better about that. Be excellent to one another, and we will talk soon. 

Hello there my friends. I know it has been forever since we have put something new up on the site and I know we have not been answering everyone's messages. I wanted to give you an update in hopes that we will be forgiven. Originally Sean and I hoped we would be making a record this summer so we could be out touring before the year ends. Unfortunately it doesn't look like that is in the cards right now. The last few months have been kind of hectic being on seperate sides of the country, but starting this week Sean will be staying in Georgia with me for the summer so we can really dig in and write the record. We are still setting the goal to record an album before the year is over and feel confident that we will. We have debated over whether or not to take down the site and relaunch when we are actually ready to get out and play and give you a full record of music but I don't think we need to do all that. I just ask that everyone hang in there if the site is dormant for a while. It could be that we launched it a bit too early but I promise when we are fully up and running we will flood the site with music and video and message replies. The fact that we already have so many people supporting us despite the fact that we have never even played a note live is just amazing and we hope you guys understand. As soon as we have news you will be the first to know. Thanks.

-Ryan
