HIS VOICE WAS LOUD.

HIS FACE WAS BEARD.

REST IN PEACE BILLY MAYS.

THIS IS NOT A JOKE.

I AM SERIOUSLY UPSET.

BILLY WAS A STAPLE OF MY FREQUENT BOUTS WITH INSOMNIA, I’LL MISS HIM. PLEASE SHOUT AND WRITE IN CAPS TODAY, JUNE 29TH 2009 IN HONOR OF BILLY.

GOOD SHOW LAST NIGHT BY THE WAY, THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO CAME OUT AND ALSO TO THE OTHER BANDS. CONGRATS TO KIDS OF SURVIVAL ON THE NEW CD. ACTUALLY FUCK YOU GUYS, YOU HAVE REALLY COOL EQUIPMENT AND YOU MADE ME FEEL BAD. NO SERIOUSLY, YOU’RE COOL, NICE SET.

DON’T FORGET TO SHOUT.

Hope you guys have all been well!  Even though it’s been raining like crazy here in New York, we’ve been trying to make the most of it.  I’m stoked to announce that we’ve finally finished building our studio & have moved into our new home.  We’ve been working hard on the Japan release for In-n-Out Records & I’ll post a new picture update of the room soon so you guys can see the finished product.

I know it’s been a little while since our last update but it’s been a busy summer for us and there’s a lot to tell you all about.

• CAMPUS MUSICFEST FINALE IN LA 

This month I headed out to LA to represent AMW at  The Campus MusicFest  National Finale.   We played CMF last year and won the pilot in New York City.  Check out this video for some clips of last year’s contest/award ceremony.  Its run by a group of really dedicated guys working hard to get independent bands some great exposure.  The contest is gaining big sponsors (Gibson, AT&T & Apple to name a few) and has since gone nationally. 

While I was in LA for the first time though, I did have a chance to do some sight-seeing & see with my cousin.  My time there was an absolute blast. Check it out:   

Thanks so much for dropping by & for all of your support! Stay tuned for more  news in the next few days.

 

 

last week we finalized a contract with in-n-out records in japan to release our first album over there.

this past week i’ve mustered up all of my energy to study 100+ hours of science material for my finals in dental school.

this has been my life for a while now. i finished my first year on friday. and then went and played a show at port chester high school. we made a lot of amazing friends and it reminded me of why i’ve been torn between these 2 lives for so long now–waking up at 6 am to go to class & study, then going to practice/writing/doing band stuff on any free moment i have.

it’s been a challenge and i feel like it definitely catches up with me sometimes. i’m not particularly good at time management–in fact i think it’s the area of my life that needs the most work. i’m working on it though because i really believe in what we’re building.

this next month i will relax from school by being with the band to write a lot of new material and working on the japanese release.

and honestly, i’d have it no other way–sounds like a perfect vacation to me.

We are very happy to announce that we have just signed to In-n-Out Records for a special release in Japan.   This really is an honor as In-n-Out is home to some the most influential bands for us, such as New Found Glory, Finch, Fenix TX, RX Bandits, Allister, Pulley, Armor For Sleep, and I Am The Avalanche.   Our first release with them will be a compilation CD of both the Sleepless EP and the self-titled album–a big album with 20 or so tracks, remixed and remastered.  We will keep you guys posted on all the developments  (release date and all) as everything gets finalized.

The In-n-Out team have been very accommodating and very kind as we began talks with them and throughout the entire process.   We are really excited to be part of such an enthusiastic and awesome team.

Thank you for all of your constant love and support!  We owe the biggest thanks to you.
