Tonight was very disappointing.
We found out at nine that we finished second in famecast voting.
I personally have several beefs with the famecast system and most online "talent search" websites. They always seem to change the rules halfway through the competition to favor certain acts over others - which is exactly what happened. When we signed up for famecast we were told that after finishing in the top five we would be competing in a live show (an even playing field) against the other bands. Instead they changed it to a voting format - who ever has the highest volume of fans - that is not a contest of talent. That is a contest of money. So here is a big fuck you to famecast (except Luke, who has some of the greatest tattoos in the history of the world) and an even bigger thank you to all of you that voted. You have been such an inspiration to all of us and we would not be able to do this without all of you.
The chip on my shoulder is a foot deep and only getting larger.
While I am very frustrated and angry, I am also very thankful to see such an incredible outpour of support both for the band and for our band-family. I can not thank our street team enough - Kat, Joyce, Rebecca and of course Steph... Thank you.
Thank you all for your support, this will not stop us... only make us more determined.

Trials of the Past Week
As many of you know, collectively as HONOR SOCIETY and individually as Michael, Jason, Andrew and Alexander, we lost our very close friend Steph over this past week.
Steph was not only one of our biggest supporters, but one of our best friends and closest advisors. I have personally known Steph for well over three years, when we both worked for the Jonas Brothers, and was thrilled to know that she was going to be working on the HONOR SOCIETY project. She was a joy to be around and we will all miss her deeply. It is a true tragedy and we obviously lend our thoughts and prayers to her family in this time of crisis.
We are all heartbroken over this loss and have unanimously decided to dedicate our upcoming EP in her memory.
Thank you Steph for all the memories. You will be missed but not forgotten.

Studio Wheels Turning...
Ok the caricature was pretty lame, as you can see below. Mike was right, we did end up with one of the worst caricature artists that Times Square has to offer. Oh well. I can say that the picture is hung up in the studio right now, providing us with some inspiration as we record.
Yesterday we had another tremendously successful studio session. We were focusing on guitar parts. Mike got his Strat game tight, he played all his parts and they sound sick. The songs are really starting to take shape. I'm telling you that you're gonna FLIP when you hear these new recordings. I think it sounds better then anything we've ever done.
Tonight we have a show at the Space in CT. It should be fun. We are very much in recording mode now, so it's kinda cool to step outside the confines of the studio and get out and rock for the people.
Happy first day of Spring.
