Cut the shit.

There are times when I really just want to hang myself and a lot of people around me. Now, feels like one of those times. Reason why? Now, you people don't take offense to this, but there are TOO MANY FUCKING BANDS. Ok, you might think, "Well funeral pyre, you guys are a band that's polluting the earth just like any other fucking band out there right now." And, you're kind of right. Like or dislike us, we have still tried to produce quality music for people since '00. Before that, we were in bands as young teenagers playing the most god awful music you will ever imagine. But you know what, we didn't try to take over the world without some of our chops ready to go. My point being, it's not that i don't support bands as a whole, it's that every band wants to be huge right off the bat! That's not the way shit works. I'm sorry everyone. A blunt look at reality for you. Creating a myspace, not having songs, yet trying to take professional promo pictures before you've laid any type of foundation in music what so ever! I'm not trying to be negative, just realistic. So, for today's lesson, just remember this - write songs first. Music is more important than what you look like or what you're mission statement is. Please, just take this as advice and continue to write songs until you're ready to actually play shows. Then, play some shows, DON'T TRY AND TOUR THE COUNTRY RIGHT OFF THE BAT! So, let's just calm down everyone and remember, music is about songs. Speaking of which, here are some records which has some great songs!

Grand Magus - Iron Will
Deerhunter - Microcastle
Trap Them - Seizures In Barren Praise
Samothrace - Life's Trade

There, i'm done. have a good weekend everyone.
