Monday Oct 31st, 2005
Its hard for me to even begin to write this however we just learned that our dear friend John "Beatz" Holohan, of the band Bayside, was recently killed in a car accident. Although I did not know John as well as my former bandmates did, I am deeply saddened to learn of his passing. My heart goes out to his family and friends. We hope everyone out there realizes how precious life really is Live each day to its fullest. John RIP, my friend.

DELAYS AND KBC
Friday Oct 14th, 2005
We have some good news and some bad news to report.

The good news is that today you can download the unreleased Kid Brother Collective ep in its entirety for FREE! Just go to release section and click on the "Snowball Fight In Death Valley" and click on the BUY link in the bottom right corner. There you can also read a final statement from the band as well as some details on the record itself. Perhaps you'll realize why we were so sad when this band broke up considering how absolutely incredible we believe this ep is.

Unfortunately Paulson's upcoming full length "All At Once" has been pushed back to a November 22nd release date due to delays at the manufacturer. We plan on having a pre-order and e-card up shortly, so it should hopefully hold all of you over until this record hits the shelves.

The blog (Life Of A Spectator ) was also updated a few times since its inception. People are slowly coming around to posting comments, which we urge you to do, so please download all you want but let us know what you think too!

VICTORY
Thursday Oct 6th, 2005
Its official. The Sleeping have signed with Victory Records! They were by far one of the hardest working bands we ever had the pleasure of working with and they certainly deserve it. We wish them the best of luck in the future.
Paulson launched a new site in accordance with their upcoming album. Its pretty sweet so be sure and check it out here. The record drops on November 8th and we will have a pre-order up soon too, so you can order the record and get a free prize. Neat-o!
