Only 44 more days until its release,"It's All Happening is set to be in stores on June 2nd. They have already gave us a sneak peak by uploading a single new track onto their myspace. If you're into some brutal metal and soft Arabian singing just before a big breakdown, then you should most definitely check it out!

SPRING BREAK! (after)

School is back in session again, after short but sweet Spring Break. First off i would like to say that i thought the weather we had was wonderful. From all the other Spring Breaks i can remember we usually have rain, rain, and some more rain. Having good weather made me actually want to do stuff. Even though i did play basketball on the day it poured! I didn't really do anything super important on break but i did have fun relaxing and not having to stress out about school for once. All and all i had a pretty decent Spring Break.

IRT TRIP!

Yesterday, we, as a class(well some of us) went to the IRT again to see "To Kill A Mockingbird". Personally, I had a lot of fun. It was very tiring but still fun. The play was really well done. Surprisingly, even the young actors/actresses were so professional. Dill was more of a "grown-up" than I am. The discussion was nice but a little long for my taste. The mall was pretty interesting. Jessey and I hung out the whole time after ditching Jordan. just kidding. =] All and all the trip was a major sucess and i hope to go back again soon.

I See Stars(Sumerian)

I See Stars is back! Their first full length album, "3D" is set for release on April 14. Right now they have 3 new songs up on their myspace page just to give you a preview you what is to come. I personally have been watching closely as they have been evolving from the band they started out as. They have grown into much more than i ever believed could have happen while still keeping their roots that made so popular to begin with. I'm still hoping for a new version of "Save the Cheerleader" on the album but so far it looks like a must buy for me.

RISE RECORDS!(upcoming releases)

Jan. 6th- In Fear And Faith's newest creation, "Your World On Fire" hit the stores! Picking up where they left off with their "Voyages" EP, this full length is filled with new and old ideas alike. Definitely a must listen.

Feb. 17th- Watchout! There's Ghosts, is a newly signed band to Rise and is welcomed very warmly with their Full length, "Ghost Town". They are a two-piece band formed in California consisting of Jordan Blake (Former singer for A Skylit Drive) and Joshua Stotts. Check them out as they start their tour January.

March 3rd- Of Machines (for fans of Oceana and A Skylit Drive), based out of Atlanta, GA will be releasing their first full length album rightly named, "As If Everything Was Held In Place". Be sure to keep an eye out for these up-and-coming stars as they head out on tour with Motionless In White.
