ALEA IACTA EST

I feel like the idea of a single BTBAM song being released is against everything they've ever supported by writing the albums that they do.

Checking out The Racer and Rant Garage.

Hey - Ive been told my song sounds like Thrice..I dont hear it. But you be the judge!

Loving The Racer

definitely check out The Racer. awesome dudes and music, I've seen them a couple times and we played an awesome show with them at The Bowery Electric earlier in the summer. We also appreciate anyone checking out our album "Abandon The Sinking Ship" and our new cover video of Sinatra's "New York, New York" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ozD_CYe_Joc&feature=plcp

thanks!

-Almost There

Check out TR1Light.

Almost There's RIYL interests me. I will be checking out when I get home from work

Life on the Sideline was really good.

Just a note to future bands/artists: If your link is only for downloading and doesn't have a streaming option like say on Bandcamp to hear it first, I'm almost definitely not gonna download it without at least making sure I like it.

Didn't mind it by any means - but the songs felt so short that I just didn't bother downloading it (iTunes is giving me trouble anyway, haha). I did pass it on to one of my friends, who will almost certainly love it, though.

Fair enough. We'll be releasing a new EP in the early months of next year so I hope you can look out for it/pass it on to that friend of yours.
