Sometimes, it is extremely frustrating to be in band. It can be very difficult to book shows. It's difficult when you go to a show only to perform to an empty room. It's difficult when a show you've booked gets canceled last minute or when you get a message saying your band will no longer be apart of a show because a better band wants to be in that show and they are taking your slot. The making of our first album has had a disappointingly large number of delays.

I've just been frustrated lately. But when I am, I think of how some of my heroes, people who influenced me and my music, have told me to keep going.

Tim McIlarth - "Keep writing music"

Patrick Stump - "Don't stop writing music"

Taylor Momsen - "Keep at the music"

I know they all didn't tell me much, and I know this post is getting cheesy. But it really does make me happy inside when I think of this.
