10/05/05.. Me in a nutshell.

These journals have become somewhat scarse lately so I thought I'd post one. Maybe they will become more special because there is less of them.. I don't know If I posted anything about the COG tour in my last entry (I guess I could check) But the tour was awesome. Probably the best tour I think we've done. Every person involved with the tour, crew and all got on like a house on fire and there was much male bonding etc. New friends were made and old friendships were cemented. I can't wait to catch up with everyone again. Our album and the process of the release has been somewhat of a head fuck lately with release date changes and us losing half of our working team. But all is good and the tracks are starting to form again and we finally have some direction which is a relief. So the album will hit shelves on the 24th of July and I'm and so fucking exciting to get this thing out. Some of you may of heard a few tracks via myspace and your opinions may vary but to me this is exactly what we could of hoped for. It is purely inthegrey at this point in our career. Its frustrated, its passionate, its angry, its scared. Its mature. Its basically a fucking painted picture of our last year. The sadness caused by us losing people close to us to death. The scaredness of dealing with it. The anger and frustration caused by half our entourage quitting. You work with people for so long they begin to become part of the band and as thankful as we are for what they've given us, it has definately been a kick in the teeth. But we are back on track now and I think the album also illustrates this side of us. A stronger band. To me, thats what 'innocence is running out' means. Its all the things we've gone through in the last year, in a nutshell. We're no longer a young band from the central coast. We've been through a fucking shitload which alot of you people probably wouldn't know about and we've come out less innocent but a stronger more passionate band. This is why i'm so keen for everyone to hear this album because I want everyone to know this stuff and somehow catch a glimpse of the way we feel about everything. So enough of my rant. At the moment i've been listening to The Fire Theft, a bit of Radiohead, some Bjork and the Moby - Play B Sides. I haven't been able to deal with generic rock lately. I have no idea why. I got a copy of the new finch album the other day and had a listen and it was good. It was definately a more grown up band from their debut. To me if a band isn't growning musically from release to release then whats the point of making albums. But it just wasn't giving me 'that' feeling. You would all know 'that' feeling or you wouldn't be here. And i've been like that towards everything in my cd wallet lately. I hope its only a temporary thing as I still love metal and would hate to not be able to listen to it anymore. Maybe my taste is changing in music. Who knows. So thats pretty much my guts spilled at the moment. I hope everyone is as excited for the release of this album as I am beause I think it will be something special at the least. I think, well I hope there will be a shared moment between us and everyone of you guys everytime you listen to it. I'm out now. See you all soon x.
