Wow it's been too long, I've been too busy, but we have good news we have our first practice in a few hours. Still need a singer, we may need more than that after the practice but we will see. Apparently unknowing to Philip and I have progressed in our songwriting a lot, there expecting us to write stuff like I See Stars, We came as Romans stuff like that. Instead we sound like a heavier Taking Back Sunday mixed with a little Thrice and Silverstein. Don't get me wrong it may be the best stuff I have ever written but it's not what they signed up for but we may work it out after all I really wanna see what it morphs into when kyle throws some electronics on it. Today is the begining of the begining.

A day in the life....

So day two brought some interesting changes to our situation. I have been talking to an old friend for a week or so, this old friend happens to be an amazing drummer. So it seems we may have a drummer and a damn good one at that. Phil and him had a falling out of sorts but I trust that everyone is gonna be able to put that behind them for the sake of making music. We don't really know who all is playing what exactly I'm on guitar, the unconfirmed drummer on drums, Phil could end up on guitar, bass, or keys only time will tell. Great things happened today, even so things are not all great theres is still a lot to be done before you could even call it a band. We could still use a frontman and a bass player. But were closer, closer than we were yesterday. Let's see what tomorrow holds.

In the beginning,,,,,

So after five years of trying to play music as an occupation lots of things have changed. I (Zach) have changed instruments multiple times, Phil has been in and out of the band multiple times and more than once we have thrown in the towel. Why not throw in towel I have a very good job running a Game Stop, A car payment that forces me to keep it, Phil has a kid we have a million reasons to give this up. We also have a million to not mainly I just can't, music is what we were built for. For many music is a hobby for a few music is a way of life I just happen to fall into the latter, why not just play music on the side you ask. That's good and all I respect people who play music as a hobby or on the side, but I cant be that guy I cant look back and say I didn't do what I was meant to do I can't do that. When I was eighteen and failed out of college and I said I wanted to play music my father looked at me and said something i will never forget "Dreams do not come true that's just what the tell you to make you feel like your actually going to turn out to be something". These words have stuck with me and are constantly in the back of my mind, I hope that he was wrong. So let me lay this out for you two guys, overage by industry standards, below minimum equipment, no band members, more determination than any two people you will ever meet. We will keep this updated on the latest drama of our adventure, let you in on the ups and more so the downs of following your dreams. So this is it, Do or die, Do or be mediocre, Do or be the same.
