As I sit in my room mulling over the new EP, I can feel the tears swell up and out of my eyes. This band has existed over a little more than a year and it has been a roller-coaster ride, and everything we have ever said or done in this band will all accumulate this Saturday.
I am writing this not to promote the show, not to promote the EP and not to rant on about some nonsense. I am writing this to say all the things that I feel need to be said in regards to all of this. I have a feeling that emotions will be running high on Saturday, so it is best that I say all of this now before I become too overwhelmed and can't phrase it just right.
This band started with the intention of 5 dudes coming together to make some music that others might enjoy. We had no idea that THIS was going to come out of it.
From the absolute bottom of my heart, thank you. Thank you to everyone who stood by us. Thank you to everyone who learned the words to the songs simply by coming to as many shows as possible and for making those shows seem like the most important thing happening in the world at that moment. Thank all of you for spreading our word like wild fire. Thank you for being so patient for this EP. And thank you for being our friends.
The line between friend and fan gets blurred pretty often. I think that this is the exception to the rule. When no one else was there to listen, you guys were.
So thank you guys for everything.
