Hi! Hope today finds you well! Glad to have you as a friend! We added a brand new song to our player called "It Has To Be This Way." Give it a listen and let us know what you think. Also, if you don't have any of our albums you can pick one up at any Best Buy, FYE, Sam Goody, Hot Topic or online at itunes or smartpunk. com. Hope to see you soon! Spread the kaddisfly love! Cheers, Beau & Kaddisfly
Cool cool. I'll check it out :D also if the board has some problems (we've had it go down a couple time's before) I wonder if we should start a donation box again and get ourselves a new board? but than again we'd have to start all over.. which might be fun, grand opening along with the new album. but I dunno who'd be up for it. but yeah I'll check out the sound clip :D I can't find Mercy ANYWHERE where I live which kinda blows :( I didn't pre order...
That's AWESOME! haha do you have that clip online somewhere? I wanna listen :D it's so strange that the album is coming out like, tomorrow. I'll be up bright and early to go get it ;)
hey..your page seeing more action with the dredg posting today?..being in their *top friends* now..hehe.
I did think of one question to maybe bring up with Drew is the CWA Making of DVD. He did answer my question but wasn't really clear other than they want to get it out soon and are trying. Maybe 2 months later, he'll have more info on that?
