Hello everybody!

It's newsletter time. Woohoo and wooha. We've got plenty of news and notes so let's get ready to get party hype. 

First off, Your Best Friend and Steve Sochanek have parted ways. Don't worry! We're still going to be friends and brothers! We want to thank him for all of his hard work and we definitely wish him all the best. 

Joining us now, coincidentally is another Steve. His name is Steve Colyer and he is a rad daddy with a rude booty. We can't wait for you all to meet him!

We posted some songs that are new to the internet but maybe not to those of you who have our record. Check them out on our MySpace, Facebook, and PureVolume. We posted "Close Your Eyes and Drive Away" and "I'm Afraid of Myself and Everything I Haven't Done". We also put up the album version "The Path of an Illogical Liar" so wadata my damies. 

We are currently writing a new record! We can't wait for you to hear it! We don't have an estimated time of arrival, but we promise that it will be worth the wait!

There is a very limited amount of hoodies left on our online store @ http://shop.yourbestfriendrock.com. We only have smalls and we only have a few so pick them up while you can! We also have a few shirts left from the last tour. Holler at those hot tasties.

Are you a totally savvy master of the craft of graphic design? We are ordering all new merch and we're looking for someone who can rock the block and make people look totally radicool. If you aren't a jabroni, please get in touch with us about designing our merch.

We may or may not be recording an acoustic EP in the near or not near future. If we were or weren't able to do that, which songs would you want acoustic versions of? Holler atcha boys.

Hey! Has our band inspired one of your tattoos? Send it over to us so we can check out that hot ink, bro.

We wanted to extend our thanks again to all of you for your support. We had a rough time on the last tour with all of our unfortunate happenings (i.e. breakdowns, break-ins, etc.). Thank you all so much for your donations of time, money, kind words, and love. We love you all to death and we can't wait to see you. Please keep in touch with us while we're writing. We'll still be on the computer, just not as much. We will be doing video updates of the writing process so keep your bananas peeled for that. We love you guys.

Love,

Your Best Friend

I miss you guys, and I'll miss Steve. Mmmm, I say coffee should be in order. I'm totally serious dudes. It has seriously been forever. I want to hear all the exciting (and even not so exciting) stories of touring. I have your presents ready, they're handmade and that's all I will disclose at this moment. :) Lots of love,

Lena

P.S. I'm so jacked that you guys posted my (debatable) favorite song. It's so hard to choose which one I like best, each are so raw and involved. =]

Dudes...
So bummed about the Steve news. Didn't see that coming. Wish you were closer to Florida, because I would totally record you guys for free and it would sound awesome. I'm working for a major label record producer now and he lets me use his home studio for projects.
I have a friend who does graphic design work. He does merch and the backdrops for Owl City, if you've heard of them.
How should I have him get in touch with you? Shoot me an e-mail at j4callen@gmail.com

"You'll never feel anything again" would be an absolute delicacy of acoustics if that were to maybe or maybe not happen, ya know?

NOOOOO!
I had a slight hope that the rumors weren't true. (but I knew they were)
Somehow I knew as soon as I started to like YBF that something like this would happen,
I just knew at least one of you would leave.
How did I know this? Maybe it's the constant disappointments in my life that have taught me that anything I enjoy will get messed up in some way. 
Your music was the only thing that, no matter what, could put me in a better mood, and now I just find it depressing to listen to.
I will continue to support you, and if Steve joins another band, I will support him too. 
YBF will never be the same. 
Oh, and I'm sick of hearing all these rumors of why he was kicked out, they're just making him look bad, but I doubt any of them are true.

I'll tell Dave to start making some designs for you like he promised.

Horrible news to top off a horrible week..
no, more like year.

But I still love ybf.
:/

So, I may have been a little harsh.
I was in a horrible mood the day I commented on this, and this made things worse.
I do expect some amazing shows soon.
I know the new stuff will be amazing, and I can't wait to hear it.
I'm going to miss the old YBF like crazyy, but I'm sure I'll love the new one too :]
I can't wait to finish this secret project for you boys and finally be able to give it to you.
But I sure do hope this brain heart attack wont be fatal.
Aww, you misspelled "disappoint"

It's probably against everything you guys want to do..but one day, you should make a blast from the past and play "I'm ready" when in Saginaw. I still listen to that song daily.

Okay...for everyone who is giving ybf shit about the old steve leaving and the new steve coming in are being stupid babies. For one ybf will still be ybf...for two im sure they will not change in how they act, play, there stage appearance, or even there feelings toward there fans, and finally im most positive the new steve will rock all of your socks off...and possibly the rest of your threads.

peace, wayne
