  1. Crown The Empire
  2. What I’m working on.

    Coming off the new Crown The Empire EP coming out close to summer 2011. I’ll post the album art and the name soon, if I’m feeling the love.

    The name of this song is Faded Reflection.

    Intro/Faded Reflection

    Oh my brothers and sisters
    mark my words this world will tear you apart
    but not me
    no
    I have no soul to take
    I have no heart to break
    And Though callused may be my hands I will not be broken down today
     
    Tear down your walls tonight
    We are here to sing for you
    Break down your walls tonight
    We are here to scream for you

    —————————————————————————-

    cold as ice on the darkest december
    spark a flame from a small burning ember
    Trapped inside
    of this prison made of mirrors

    As I wait for for that spark to ignite me
    try to break through these walls that surround
    me
    I’m trapped inside
    this prison made of mirrors

    The worst part of all
    Is I’m the one who holds the key
    prison of my mind
    only purpose sets me free

    I look to the sky
    but my walls keep building higher
    I’m surrounded by
    creations I
    need to feel alive

    I look to the sky
    But the answers all around me
    Oh I don’t know why
    I have to try
    to take hold of my life

    We walk
    We breathe
    We live
    A lie

  4. Music so far…

    So I’ve decided that my music collection has gotten pretty monogamous. Music is everything to me, and if my collection is getting stale, my life is getting just as black and white. Which is why I’m asking for the help of the internet! Tell me what some of your favorite bands/songs are that you think I may never have heard of. I really want to get that kid in a candy shop feeling back when I discover some new music, so think really hard and write on my twitter. I promise I’ll write back what I think!

    This is the other song I recorded of my friends Nick Terry and Ian Stowers’ music group Project A. It’s called EMP haha. This was literally the first thing I ever recorded.

    Project A - No More Excuses…

    This is an exclusive demo called ‘No More Excuses’ of my friends group PROJECT A that I recorded in my bedroom back in the day. It was the first thing that I ever recorded and personally I dig the song haha. If you like it I’ll upload the other song that I recorded for them and you can tell me which one you like best. Also this song features me in the Bridge so listen for that :D

  14. What we’re up to…

    So I know that when I don’t see a band either releasing a new song, or starting a world tour, I think they’re in the process of washing up or breaking up. So i thought I’d give you a detailed update on what I’ve been doing everyday since we just ended our month long Slow Motion tour with Eye Alaska and Rookie of the Year.  So we got home and the only thing that was on my mind was Sleep, Time away from the other guys in the band, and seeing all of my family and friends.  Sleep is taken for granted when you’re at home and not on the road. 6-8 hours of sleep is a rarity and a blessing when you’re on the road. We look at getting 4-6 everyday to allot the proper amount of cushion for our 3-8 hour drives from city to city everyday. So sleep is definitely a number one on the list.  Now when I say time apart I don’t mean that in a bad way. I love all of my boys in the band, and we really are all best friends. However, people don’t realize what it’s like to live in those close quarters, so time apart is essential haha. And of course I’m huge on family and friends so I take as much time as I can to hang out with my really good friends Nick, Ian, Rachel, Becca, Lori, and Veronica. Now as far as the band…..

    After a few needed days off we’re all back together working on our two new singles. You’ll be hearing these all summer long on the Vans warped tour, and the singles will be available this summer on iTunes. The songs are ‘This Gravity’ and ‘Ammunition’. We’ve been at A.J.’s house every day trying out new ideas and feels for the song, looking to make these the best songs we’ve released yet. To be honest I actually love both of these 10,000 times more than our entire EP ‘Play With Fire Get Burned’ even though I think those songs are great as well. The new singles are more developed, and have more of a feel to them. The melodies are simple and catchy, and we’re definitely up-ing the maturity aspect of the songs in the production.  We leave at the end of may for LA to record for a week, and then we will be hitting the road starting July 20th on the Warped Tour promoting the new jams! I’m really excited for you guys to hear This Gravity and Ammunition, and of course I will be updating the Blog constantly with details, and insider info from the studio.

    I love you guys :D and please tell your friends about my Bloggypoo. I’m really starting to like this!
