Anonymous asked: I love this blog and how you guys are so involved with everyone! Also your contributors and mods are super nice and I checked their tumblrs and they are awesome (and cute haha). I don't have a tumblr but I check it every now and then and I just wanted to thank you for keeping it up like this. I don't really know what else to say, this band has been so good and this year has been great....
Well shit… This year has come to an end, hasn’t it?
Well, let’s start this off right.
The Shitty Stuff.
This year started off well and good. Took a sharp turn in March, however. I had my heart crushed by the girl that I had (albeit, rather quickly) intended to one-day marry. It took me a long, long time to come up with a way out of the crippling depression that had set in.

I’d just like to take this time to say happy holidays to our little family. There’s too many of you to tag on Twitter. xD
Anyway. I love you all very much and I’m happy to have you all in my life. Insert lame “best I ever had” pun here.

Their latest release is their most balanced of their releases to date. The lead track, ‘Runaway’ [sic] is, in my opinion, the perfect set off to the record: a...

Punk rock, summer shows, and why "Good For Me" is...
I’ve spent a really long time coming up with a top ten list. To be honest, every year I’m confused by the practice of top ten lists, because every year, I feel like I discover more old music than new music. However, this year was different. There are ten releases (I’m not going to say albums, because one is and EP, and the other…well, you’ll see.) I feel have really impacted me. You can read the...

Check out the video of us being weird as usual!
Pick up our limited & exclusive Glamour Kills/Swellers collab shirt here: http://store.theswellers.com/store/show/IDLWI

Jono, stay out.
You need to have submitted your pictures like, yesterday. haha. If you haven’t yet, it’s okay. Mine were late too. But please, PLEASE get them in today or tomorrow so Hannah can finish the video. You are the ones that said you wanted to be a part of this. It’s going to be a fantastic present for the guys, and we’d REALLY like to get it done by Christmas....
