Well, its been far too long since we updated you guys on anything, so to start off, we have a facebook site now. Just saying...if you prefer to get your HH updates there...you can now. So go add us and tell any friends you have that we have a facebook. We've had it for a while, but honestly, we haven't really done anything with it until now. We'll have more to come soon!

Its been so long since we've given you guys any update of substance and for that we apologize. Our hands are somewhat tied at the moment...sorry! At times its felt as though we're living in an episode of VH1 Behind The Music. One of these days we'll tell you about our journey and you'll understand.

It's hard to not let the frustration of our situation get to you, but we've soldiered on. Over the last month we've started rehearsing and attempting to re-gain some sort of normalcy in our lives. Its been a slow process. Needless to say, things are different, but we're adjusting as best as possible. We're so eager to get back out there, release some new music, play some shows and just be a band again.

We love you all and thank you for your support over the last few months! More to come soon.

Happy Holidays everyone! This is not your typical holiday greeting (and its quiet long as well). I've had so much on my mind lately that I've been writing and re-writing this blog for several weeks now. No matter how long I stare at my computer screen, I just can't seem to get it right. With the holiday season upon us, everything seemed to fall into place...and it gave me an incentive to get this together once and for all.

Religious beliefs and commercialism aside, the holidays are for spending time with family and friends. This year we will sadly spend it without one of our closest friends for the first time ever. Most people don't truly understand this, but when you're in a band its like being married to four other individuals. Every aspect of your life is intertwined and almost symbiotic with the other members. We spent nearly every day for five years with Casey, more time than we spend with our own family and loved ones. He was our brother in every sense of the word and perhaps the toughest loss I've personally ever experienced. Casey was honestly, without any hyperbole, the most unique and hilarious person I've ever met and I'll never forget him because of that. Everything he did brought a smile to my face (and others) even when it wasn't intended, that's just how he was.

No one should ever have to go through losing anyone prematurely, but sadly, it happens and its something we've had to deal with on more than one occasion. It hasn't been easy, but witnessing people come together, putting aside their differences, sharing their stories and uniting under their love of Casey has been extremely uplifting. I've cried and laughed at all of the stories and in every instance I can remember the exact situation (or similar one) being described in near vivid detail. Its unfortunate that it takes a tragedy to put everything into perspective and even more unfortunate that we let trivial matters run our daily lives to the extent that we forget how precious and fragile life really is.

On behalf of our whole band, I want to send a big thank you to all of our loved ones, families, friends, fans, management, To Write Love On Her Arms, absolutepunk.net and anyone I may have forgotten for being so supportive while we deal with our loss and figure everything out in the wake. To say we're grateful for everything we've accomplished up until this point would be an understatement. We've been able to live out our dreams and while our journey hasn't always been sunshine and roses, we've been fortunate enough to experience a little bit of true happiness in our lives and most importantly, share it with all of you.

We don't want a pity party...that's not the point of all this...I think the lesson we've learned, and hopefully you can also take from this, is to never take anything or anyone for granted. Be thankful for everything you have in life and never miss the opportunity to tell those around you that you love them. Do that which makes YOU happy as life is too short and too unpredictable to slave away doing something you hate. Enjoy the holidays (and every day) as if they were your last!

Happy Holidays!!!!!

Love, Eron

On the road again!!!! I love being home more than anyone, but it really feels good to be back on the road again. This year has been relatively low-key (in regards to touring) for us for a change...and not all by choice. I wish I was at liberty to talk more about it right now, but, I'm not. Anyways, we just kicked off our dates with Red Jumpsuit, Amber Pacific and New Years Day, a couple of days ago in Wichita, KS. Its been a while since we played Wichita and I'm glad we got the chance to come back because the show was great. It was great the last time, but it was just a good way to start a tour. We hit up Cain's Ballroom in Tulsa, OK for Halloween and had a blast. On a more somber note, its hard to believe that it was two years ago that our dear friend Beatz passed away. It seems like it was just yesterday. It makes you realize how delicate we really are. You can't take back the past, but you should always remember it and we will always remember Beatz! Today is an off-day so we're in Kansas at some mall. We'll probably go see a movie and get some food. Typical boring off-day stuff. There will be plenty more updates coming soon! Hopefully we'll see you out at these shows! Eron
