Lyrics for the new schtuff.
Lyrics from There’s a Castle and a Crown For Every Cockroach in Every Town. Enjoi.
“KINGDOM OF THE BEDROOM(HUBERT, THE LONER)”
I’d never write about friends and vans a decade from now it’ll all be different believe most of this is an heir to growth suburban bums inheriting mistakes they’ve sown new words from new heads, ideas harbering hocked hell literary scapes of Alabama...

We’re recording with our good friend and new blood punk rock producer, Aries, who did the When I’m Older record. Shit’s sounding pretty silly, in a great way. What all songs do you guys...

YCB Footage
A friend of mine loaned me his Flipcam in February so that we could document the recording process of YCB. We had intended to use this footage along with some other pieces we would film later to make a little mini documentary on the record, but unfortunately it hasn’t panned out that way. Instead, I’ll be posting some of the interesting clips from that footage here from time to...
My Wheel House: You know what I hate? →
ronstormer:
Aside from everything?
Here is a generalized notion and considering that it happens so much, I’ll give you the overview:
That people sit on the internet, verbally abusing people for having hobbies and being interested in things. Now, the focus is not the use of the internet but rather the…
I’ve spent the last three hours or so working on various things for LFT. Packing merch orders, emailing blogs, working on a central website for the band, blah blah blah. Over the course of reading through various how to’s and advices pieces on a band’s “web presence”, something kept popping up the fucked with me. Every blogger or company wants to tell you what...

WatchFreeman Gray is one of the finest songwriters in Alabama. You might not know this, but Jon did guest vocals on Lying For A Living from Eleven Eleven(the chorus, “I keep it honest…”). Extremely proud of this dude. Check out this video for his song Monster in My Belly. So proud to be from AL. We literally have some of the best songwriters in the nation.

Not to alarm anyone...
but I think we might step up to Wu Tang status by kicking the members up to six, which is weird but it’s still being tossed around. I know you’re thinking, “Why mention it if it’s not for sure going to happen?” My retort would be, this tumblr is my think tank. I post the maybe’s, idealistic and political swag, and official LFT stuff just to mull over later on...

Watching a bunch of white kids exerting themselves in the hopes that they can arbitrarily one-up other people while girls are side-lined, with their hands up hoping that a guy won’t jump all over them. At no point are they welcomed in.
Boys on stage, boys dancing, boys running the door.
Though…
too true.
