late with the updates

hey guys

sorry there havent been too many updates recently. im really the only one who posts right now and ive been really busy with work and what not and band things had to take a bit of a break on the back burner. but as always, a really good show will put me back in the mood to get on top of things. last night we played a halloween show with a bunch of local bands in addition to war of ages and advent. the show was really good. there were tons of kids out and we had the pleasure to playing to a room full of listeners. all in all, we feel like we were received really well and made some new fans which equals a success for us. for now we dont have any shows booked for a couple of months, but im hoping to work on that pretty soon. im really hoping that we can do either a weekend away or day out of state this month or next. if anyone in PA, VA, DE, or NY has anything happening soon let us know!

also we got these in the mail yesterday:

Photobucket
if you read this, you'll recognize this slogan. to explain, "i dont care if the world ends tomorrow..." was something that jon said at a show we were playing. tommy was really obsessed at the time with the hadron collider and it's either matter making or world ending capabilities. it was possible that this thing could have created a black hole and ended the world all together. jon, with his infinite wisdom remarked "i dont care if the world ends tomorrow, as long as i dont have to go to school." it just happened to be one of those things that gets said and repeated and laughed about later on. i thought that it was really funny out of context and kind of relevant in the context of the band and it's name so it kinda stuck, with me atleast. so our merch table is a little less bare now. be sure to pick one up for FREE next time you see us and stick it on your guitar case, skateboard, mom's car, school locker, stop sign, etc.

something else that you guys will be stoked to hear is that we have finished tracking everything except for vocals for the new album! i was only able to make it to tommy and jon's sessions but from what i hear everything sounds really great. we should be recording vocals sometime this week. all in all, we're working on having this out before the end of the year so be on the look out!

THIS JUST IN!!!

while i was editing this post, i got a message from justin saying that we just got added onto a show with SUIS LA LUNE! hopefully all of you know about this band and can understand how excited we are for this show. if you dont...suis la lune is a screamo band out of stockholm, sweden. currently they are the only band in our top friends who we havent played with (not for much longer!). this band has had a huge influence on a16 (especially in the beginning) mostly just from being a few of our's favorite bands. if you truly enjoy good screamo music, visit their website and listen to some of their songs off their album "quiet, pull the strings." when i first heard this it was after a history of unexposure to actual good screamo music. there's so much i can say about this album, but you just have to listen to it for yourself to figure it out. either way, this is big news! the show is going to be with the AMAZING dudes in ezra joyce (a screamo two piece whom we have had the pleasure to play with a couple of times) in their hometown of mays landing, new jersey. wow, a powerhouse european screamo band is going to be playing a HOUSE SHOW in new jersey of all places. ezra joyce rules and so does their house and so will this show so be sure to start making plans now on how you're going to road trip it out there to see it.

seriously...dont sleep on this!
