The moon bred new Atlantic life tonight.the salt burned you right out of my eyes.and secrets we’re not proud of were taken with the tide. We were all newborns with blurred vision and no sense of direction.

Today I saw cancer, cigarettes and shortness of breath.
this is why I walk to the ocean.swim with sharks and jellyfish.
I may never get this chance again.
this is why if you want to kiss you should kiss.
If you want to cry you should cry, and
if you want to live you should live.
You don’t have to love me. You already did. At least enough to keep me smiling from South Carolina to Virginia.it's for lovers (orjustfriends)
This is why I do it.

my mother has just informed me that we havent made a journal entry in the past couple days, so everyone thank her for being on top of things for us since we so busy on the road. atlanta, ga... you were incredible. st. petes, lets hang out tonite. we have all caught up on some much needed sleep. the past few days were pretty busy. we had to fly to la early on monday. im not sure if i can tell you exactly what we did yet, so i wont to be safe. heres a few hints though.. it involves fish, the ocean and one of our songs. after la we flew to ATL for a show last night which was so fun, the tabernacle is a beautiful venue and georgia has raised beautiful people. on another note, some of our crew members visited paul walls studio the other day. if you dont know who that is, he makes "grills" for all the famous rappers you see on mtv. to say the least, our crew looks pretty awesome nowadays. besides that, nothing else is new, just having fun and excited to see you guys in the upcomming weeks. ryan is doing a phone interview in his underwear next to me right now. on that note, im going outside to play. bye friends.

ps. cassie in 10 days. chicago in 16 days. <3

it's been a storm for 17 days. everywhere we go, it rains. i feel like it's going to follow us around the whole tour, trying to ruin what we've got, but it can't. its too good, it's a pretty amazing feeling knowing that these shows are truly ours, and you're all there to see us this time. I remember a year ago when we were just starting to write all of these songs you're singing along to now, and i never thought we'd be able to be doing what we are now.I just wanted to say thank you.we're not you're average band, we've got big ideas and we love sharing them with you, trust me, it's just the beginning.

good day internet family. we have realized that a few options on our website are currently innactive including the photo album and book club. please sit tight, we are working on getting everything up shortly. we just got done playing in new mexico. we had an outstanding time and met a bunch of great people outside after the show. we are so happy to share this tour with all of you. right now, ryan, spencer and i are in the back lounge of our bus listening to third eye blind and talking about music we enjoy. on a side note, i finally obtained my first IPOD. i feel like a new person, i can fall asleep happily, listening to my favorite tunes now. we play oklahoma city tomarrow, i hope they are ready for 3 pretty alright bands to hang out with them tomarrow. as for right now, im very sleepy. i am going to sleep, see you guys soonly.

06.10.2006 - the hush sound is soooooweeeet.
dear panic website visitors,
welcome to the new online home. right now i am sitting next to ryan and brendon, bob from the hush sound is here with us but he hit brendon in the eye during a vicious basketball tournament featuring members from both bands, so he is busy giving us foot rubs. we want to thank everyone who helped us kick off the tour in arizona, i hope you had as much fun as we did. we are doing a few radio shows in california this weekend, but we get to continue the tour on tuesday in las vegas. we also went to the store and bought a bunch of new movies to watch so we will be very busy over the next few weeks! for those of you that are planning to come see us on this tour, be ready for an eventful night, we cant wait to see you. hope you enjoy the new site, we will be writting in our journal frequently so check back. and on a personal note, thank all of you for the warm welcome, its greatly appreciated.

ps. anyone in the bakersfield, ca area, goto the hush sound show this sunday, july 11th. they will make you happy

Well well well. We've stirred up some controversy now haven’t we? In regards to our headlining tour this summer with The Dresden Dolls..we couldn’t be more excited, and from the look of things many people are thinking the exact opposite. We feel this could be a great thing for both bands if you let it be. All I'm asking here is that you give it a shot. From the start we (panic) have had labels attached to us, along with assumptions of who we are how we think, what we care about, and what we aspire to be etc. so when it came time for us to plan our headlining tour we decided to do things our way, and on our own terms.I promise you, this show will not be like what you’re used to going to see. And if you've seen us perform before, I urge you to come out and see us on this tour. We’re finally able to do what we've been wanting to do live since we started this band.. and we'd love to play for as many people as possible. This definitely won’t be what has been considered to be an "ordinary" panic show. We are honored that the support bands we’ve asked to do the tour accepted, we're really looking forward to you guys hearing some artists that you may not have had the opportunity to hear or see live up until now.So please, do yourselves a favor and get to these shows early, you really don't want to miss these other acts.This has been the first time we've gotten to choose who we are going out with, and hopefully it will feel like home.

03.09.2006 - no, i'm nothing like a song
I want to be a lion, everybody wants to pass as cats.
yea we all want to be big big stars,
but then we have second thoughts about that.

I don't always deal with things the best way, and in order to try and slow my life down I disappear every now and then.
so believe in me, because i don't believe in anything.

when everybody loves you, you can never be lonely.
sometimes, sometimes it's not that easy.

I have this pocket watch, and I spin the hands around and around just to pretend I have control of things. a month away. we can play normal for a few days.

02.23.2006 - the camera clicks.and then we are stars.
it's been a while. i've been pretty busy lately working on suprises for our headlining tour, whatever you expect it to be right now, think the opposite.shooting a new video soon also, so look for that soon-ish.found out that we are in a great little mag called "J14" i'm sure you all are just as excited as we are about that one.unfortunately those kind of things are out of our hands, we don't have to give permission to them to put us in there..at least we aren't stickers.or maybe that would be awesome? fun fact of the day.i haven't shaved in a week or so, and i got a new razor today, and managed to shave my entire face.almost. it died before i could get the stache.pretty much sums me up right there.

we like the boys with the bullet proof vests. we like the girls with the cellophane chests.

day six of truckstops and statelines. i've never had so much fun on a tour, tomorrow we will be in providence, and hopefully will have a glorious reunion with our boys in treos.they just shot a new video so be on the lookout for that. I've started playing black mamba with the academy, mike and sisky get super dirty on stage. i'm just trying to hang..also we may or may not be working on an extra special cover involving both bands on the stage at one time...

on another note i just wanted to talk for a moment about all the things that have been happening with the band recently, and i've felt a bit of backlash and just wanted to tell you the truth about things. first of all, we were #10 on trl because of you, and nothing else. we never intended to be on the countdown, and were actually more against the idea of it than for it.we never posted on our website, or anywhere else for that matter, asking you to vote for us,but we were flattered that you guys took time and voted for us anyways, i think it set some kind of record, that it was the first time that a band on an indie label as small as fbr had an artist on the trl countdown, definitely shook things up a bit. #2 i've heard that we PAID our way onto trl, which could quite possibly be the greatest waste of money our band could make, and also one that would never happen.#3 we are doing our best to come out and meet everyone at these shows, but it's just not possible to meet everyone. we're sorry, but i can gaurantee that if you stop by the merch table after the show you'll be able to find at least one of us there.

see you soon
