Secrets Never Slip = 7SF's most downloaded song!
I just wanted to thank you all again for supporting us. A few days ago I found out our new acoustic song “Secrets Never Slip” is our top dowloaded song on iTunes…meaning its sold more than all songs on The Getaway EP (which is our most known one).
First off, I’m glad you guys like the new song. Its awesome to get positive responses from all of you. When you release...
“Live without fear of failure”
– I saw this somewhere recently. I cant really remember. I like it a lot though :) Speaks the truth…
I never know what to title these.
True thing. I never know what to title them.
Anyways, I enjoyed some sushi today w/ Mike. I like sushi a lot. I took him to this place down the road that I always go to. He had never been there before, and I think he LOVED it. It’s safe to say I have me another good sushi eating partner now.
We also recorded some guitars today. Well kinda recorded them. It’s really weird how we do...
TALK - Good or Bad?
One thing I’ve learned over the past few years…
Talk is good…whether it’s good or bad talk. If you’re on the tip of someone’s tongue, you’re doing something right.
“On your rise to the top in the music industry, its not about how hard you throw...”
– - I saw something like this in Alternative Press where they interviewed Mayday Parade. SO so so so true. Unsigned bands that tour have to deal w/ a ton of bullshit & let downs. “Lift me up for just another letdown”…we didnt make that lyric for no reason. People always tell you...
This is what I feel like righhht na. Haha. We...
Christmas Day Re-Cap
Well…all the Christmas stuff is finally over. Today was the last day. I’m kinda glad though. Now it just needs to hurry up and get warm. Summer time is the best.
I got some good stuff today. A few gift cards, money, studio headphones, candy, and some other stuff. I cant really remember it all. It was good though.
I’m wanting to go to the mall sometime soon, but all this traffic...
Christmas Eve!
Tonight was good!
I had some awesome food..AGAIN. My mom made these brownies that had chocolate chips, fudge, walnuts, & carmel in them. So so so awesome.
What else? Here’s what I got:
Office Chair (the one I had was worn out and would start hurting your butt after sitting on it for a while)
2 new pairs of Levis
New all black dress shirt
New grey dress shirt from Express w/ black...

I posted a new song on our MySpace called “Secrets Never Slip”. It’s on the EP along with acoustic versions of all the songs on “The Getaway”. Head over to iTunes and grab a copy! It’s only like $4 or so and would help us get back in the studio!
Let me know what you think!
Hanging w/ Family around X-Mas
I’ve been spending some quality time w/ my family lately. Sorry I havent been on the computer as much as normal to respond to your comments, messages, etc. :(
My cousins from Texas recently flew in and are visiting for a few days. Ages: 24, 20, 17…so as you can tell, we get along really well. When we were kids, we fought and what not a lot. But now that we’re all around the same...
New Demossss & GREAT news
Just saw that I can upload songs on here.
You have NO IDEA how bad i want to just upload one of our new demos! I cant wait for you all to hear this. I know its taking a while for us to get out new material and everyone is saying “Dangggg! It’s been a while since they released “The Getaway”, they need to hurry up!”. NO SWEAT. I’d rather take the time and do it...
Last Night = AMAZING
Last Night…What do I say? Thank you?
That show was awesome. Definitely my favorite show we’ve ever played at The Masquerade. Just so you can understand…I’ve been playing that venue since I was 16 years old. I remember the 1st time we played in Hell in front of about 80-100 people. I was so nervous. Now we are playing in Heaven and about 450-500 of you decided to show up....
My Dog.
Today I found a knot on my doggys stomach. It felt like it was a tumor of some sort. :( I dont know yet though. We gotta go get that checked out soon! I really hope she’ll be ok!
TJ's Birthday - recap
Today was fun!
We had practice at 11. Worked on a new intro. Im not gonna give too many hints, but its ghetto fabulous. Reps the hometown well. Anyways, after that I went and shipped some tickets and merch orders. Thank you for all buying that stuff…it really helps out. Ticket sales for this show Friday have been great and it just blows me away. It’s awesome to look back and remember...

J-Beiber & 30 SECONDS TO MARS
Soooo I finally have my hands on this Justin Beiber CD. Haha! Dont make fun…anyways, what do I think of this guy? I think…HE IS TALENTED! The kid can sing. Really good. He beats most adults asses who sing. You can tell he took tons and tons of vocal training. I feel like to become a singer on “the next level”, you must do this. My idea of singers on the next level are:...
MySpace DYING & Bands future on the Internet...
Hmmmm…
This is something that affects me in a really large way. Our band and tons of other bands have started building their fanbase through MySpace & used it to connect to their fans. NOW, it has completely died down. I’m not going to call it completely dead like some people do because its not, but the amount of views and usage it receives is completely different that what it...
Gooooood Day
My doggy just came in to visit me. She normally sleeps in the living room, but sometimes decides to make guest appearances and sleep in my room. She’s a German Shepherd named Abby. I got her for my birthday when I was 10.
I’ve been wanting to go to the shooting range a lot lately. I like shooting guns…and I say that in a non-psycho way. Haha! I just like it. Maybe we can go...

AAR = #1
Soooo…
According to the Billboard Charts, ALL AMERICAN REJECTS have the #1 most played song of 2009 in Top 40 Radio. I personally think that is AWESOME. They kicked asses…big asses including: Taylor Swift, Lady Gaga (IT is weird!), Black Eyed Peas, Kanye West, Hinder, etc.
I just think its awesome cause I’ve been listening to them for so long. They seem like they still have a...

The Edward vs. Jacob Tour - RECAP
The shows we just did w/ Disco Curtis were awesome. FL was amazing. I love it down there. I’m missing those guys! We’re super stoked for the Atlanta show though. They are solid live. I think all of you Atlantian friends that are coming to the show will dig their stuff & live performance. Make sure you grab your tickets NOW so they are only $8.
What else? We started the drive home...
UPdateeee
My bad for not updating recently! Things have been crazy.
We are in Jacksonville, FL RIGHT NOW hanging with some friends. They played in a band called The Sophomore Attempt and are currently creating a new band called Acadence. Go check them out. We are chilling at their house and playing a show in Jacksonville tonight. We played Tallahassee yesterday and it was cool. The weather SUCKED though....
