Message from Andrew

We've seen alot (three) of people asking whatever happened to Andrew from Bayside. Does he still play music? Does he still write darkly poetic, yet incredibly derivative lyrics? Did he ever learn to play his instrument. The answers to these questions are yes, sometimes, and nope, he found one he's even worse at. The last few years I've realized that bands take themselves way to seriously, and that I was incredibly guilty of that as well. The bands that don't are just silly or ridiculous like metro station, or god help us all, funnycide(or whatever those clown call themselves). I grew up listening to bands like The Vandals, Nofx, Lagwagon etc. They weren't jokes but they were fun. So taking a cue from the badly missed Kevin Wade I've decided somebody needs to point out how ridiculous things have gotten. I have a new project called Victory Records, and when Tony gets around to suing me after he finishes duping some other 18 year old kid into signing away his songs for 5 albums, we'll change the name to Victory Rex, because satire is protected by the constitution and Brummel is not. This time around I'm playing guitar and doing some singing, along with our old drummer Jason playing bass, and our friends Mike and Dave on guitar, drums, and vocals. We just finished up a ten song "ice breaker" that we have no intention of giving to any label. It will be up on our myspace available for free download, or if anyone emails, we'll just send copies for now.. The url is www.myspace.com/victoryrecordsny. Tracks will be up within a week or so. We'll play a few shows on Long Island...not sure about anything other than that. Godspeed to you and your army kids with tragic haircuts and star tatoos. There's a place for all god's children here at Victory Records...I mean Victory Rex.
Yours in Christ,
Andrew

Haha?

lol.

So THIS was the song that Anthony was talking about.
I love Bayside, but have no idea about how he left - was it less than amicable?

BUT - 3GunGaz wants to know WHO writes in third person... really?!

Oh shitt

Win

Never got into Bayside but I have to say, this makes me appreciate this guy. Funny shiz.

Well... That's interesting?

ummm...wow. tell us how you REALLY feel.

The majority of that wasn't really all that funny. I mean, the Brokencyde joke has gotten old -- we get it they aren't "music".

This is actually really funny. hahaha His lyrics kinda get me down though, that's why I don't own Sirens I'd actually like to hear what he does with these songs.

Hahaha.
