THE RELEASE OF...

FOREVER THE SICKEST KIDS - the self titled, 2nd full length album! Can you tell I'm excited?!

The making and release of this record has been an interesting journey for FTSK. While fans were pondering when new FTSK tunes would be released, the band was trying to decide what to release. Should they stick with what was planned and release Saturday or something else? From the previews FTSK has released this album will be the most personal material thus far. It is an album of 11 songs and they are AMAZING!

THIS ALBUM IS A MUST OWN! SO GO GET IT TOMORROW!

But wait, there's more! Check out FTSK on THE CARDIOLOGY TOUR with GOOD CHARLOTTE! I'm going to a show...are you?

Still more.... Following THE CARDIOLOGY TOUR, FOREVER THE SICKEST KIDS will head out on a HEADLINING TOUR! THE SPRING BREAK YOUR HEART TOUR! (Sponsored by SUBSTREAM MUSIC PRESS) I'm going to that too!

Stripped Down to the Bone Tour

So it's been a minute, but I'm back with a new batch of concert photos.

Recently I went to see Hawthorne Heights on their acoustic tour, Stripped Down to the Bone. It was a two week long tour that made a stop in my town! I also got the chance to interview JT Woodruff. It was an amazing time. JT told me that the band has always wanted to do an acoustic tour and finally decided to go for it. For fans who went to one of the shows, if you are familiar with Hawthorne Heights, the music will sound different, but in a cool way. That's the word according to JT.

This show was special and difficult at the same time. I love Hawthorne Heights and they put on an amazing live show, but it was difficult because I haven't been to one of their shows since the passing of Casey Calvert. I had the great pleasure to meet Casey before he passed away. To this day when I hear Casey's unclean vocals on past Hawthorne records, it makes me cry. Casey is and always will be very much remembered by JT, Matt, Micah and Eron. "There are definitely a couple songs [on Skeletons] dedicated to Casey. He’ll be there, he’ll always be there with us,” said JT.

I could tell that talking about Casey was still very difficult for JT . The first time I met Hawthorne Heights I took a photograph of Casey that I absolutely love. I have always wanted to share it with JT, Matt, Eron and Micah. So before I started the interview I gave JT an 8 x 10 of this photo of Casey. I was at first unsure how it was received, but found out later fthat JT was very stoked about it. Eron, Matt and Micah were as well when I told them about it.

Hawthorne's set was amazing. Great music and the guys were all about interacting with the crowd. Fans could very much tell that hard work was put into interpreting the electric tunes to acoustic. Hit songs such as "Niki FM", "Ohio is for Lovers", "Rescue Me", "Four Becomes One", "Saying Sorry" and "Bring You Back" were performed. The set wrapped with "Nervous Breakdown", the first single from Skeletons, Hawthorne Heights newest record. “We are on a new label, writing new songs, it is like a start over point. I thought a skeleton was a cool way to describe a building block or structure. We are able to add whatever we want.”

It is an amazing record and fans will thoroughly enjoy it. Keep your eyes and ears open for an electric Hawthorne Heights tour!

Coming Soon... more pictures of the Stripped Down to the Bone Tour!!!!

Our hearts are heavy and light.
We laugh and scream and sing.
Our hearts are heavy and light.

R.I.P. Casey Calvert (11-24-07) I <3 you and I will always miss you!

Alright! I went through all my pictures of FTSK and picked out the best ones. I have had such an amazing time interviewing FTSK for Substream Music Press! I've seen them live before and they are fantastic. I loved this show! They will never cease to impress me :-) It was the first time I've seen FTSK in Alabama! Another amazing first, it was my first ALL ACCESS SHOW! It came as a surprise, which was awesome :-) Courtesy of their manager, Robi!! All Access is exactly what it sounds like, but at a show it's like the Golden Ticket. You can see the show, from the crowd or side stage, which is only for people with backstage access. As a member of the crowd you get a small window of opportunity to meet the band after the show, but all access means you can hang out with the band before and after they walk off the stage.

At one point while some of the openers were playing I walked backstage and Caleb Turman was just playing songs. I walked up and was just listening and started talking to him about these songs. He's like I just wrote these today. He is a fantastic song writer :-) He played a song and was like what do you think? I'm still in shock and just let him know that the songs are AWESOME!!!! Then he says, want to hear another one? I'm thinking YES YES YES! but I just say sure, if you want to play another one I will listen. It was like my own acoustic show :-D

Can you tell I had a great time! It was something I will never forget. Thanks again to Robi!

Still Here

The Premiere/Capture 1 - Cartel

So the past couple weeks have been pretty crazy, I'm working on so many things all at once. Just wrapped up a couple magazine deadlines and now it's picture time. Check out some photos that I took when I was front row for a Cartel concert earlier this month.

I'm sure you know this already, but just in case.

Cartel always puts on such an amazing show. I will always love seeing them in concert, no matter how many times that may end up being.

Great job guys! See you next time!
