The modern fan-girl, trendy music scene has become this breeding ground for artists that have zero talent to bitch and moan about how they’re famous for not playing their instruments or cross dressing or whatever Trace Cyrus/ Jeffree Star did to get public recognition. If you haven’t checked out the cat fight yet, click…HERE.

Senses Fail’s very own Buddy has written an open letter to the two little whiners, asking them to stop being little wieners.

Dear Trace Cyrus and Jeffery Star

Hi man and lady, I just wanted to introduce myself to you, man and woman. I am very upset with you two. I have spent a good period of my young life striving to make it in the music business, well not make it but, just have a place where I can express myself. I find that you two seem to take this music scene ( be it punk rock, emo, alternative, whatever you want to call it) for granted. I want you two to resolve your differences because the music world is hanging by a whim and chomping at the bit for you people to resolve the conflict in your relationship. Why is it that you both can’t get along? I mean Trace you guys both choreograph your own dance moves for stage, you guys write music for the sole sake of making money/wanting a celebrity status and you both look like women. Why can’t you too just get along? Jeffery, I am sorry I don’t know much about you, all I know is that you are fond of the word cunt. I hope that you can find it in you to re-open your loving arms to the talent that is Mr. Cyrus, not to be confused with Mr. Billy Ray Cyrus. Im sorry but the two of you make this music scene, something that I have been a part of since I was 14 into a laughable-perezhilton.com-joke. I wish that you guys would just make up, make out and produce some shitty music together, in bed or in the studio, so the world can rest at ease. I wish you both the best of luck and most importantly wish the people writing your music for you the best of luck. I hope this finds you well.

Buddy

p.s. Shake, shake, shha shha shha shha shake it.

Mildly amusing, isn’t it?

Finally had a chance to check out Senses Fail’s forthcoming new record, Life Is Not A Waiting Room last night while I cleaned my house and I can personally attest to the fact that it sounds more huge than anything the band has ever done. That shit comes out October 7th, at which point the band will of course be taking their show on the road, touring the US and getting more tattoos and probably being all around badasses. You should go see them and ask Heath Saraceno if he’s still “inside the band”

Having had the pleasure of sitting down with Buddy Neilsen and the rest of Senses Fail numerous times over the years, I definitely have something of a soft spot for the band. And especially now that Heath Saraceno formerly of Midtown is in the mix, they’ve definitely taken their sound up a couple of notches; their most recent full length, Still Searching was, in my opinion, their strongest release to date, and hopefully the first of many more to come. To that end, the band announced today that their next record, Life Is Not a Waiting Room will be hitting stores later this fall. Here’s the release:

June 25, 2008 - SENSES FAIL announces an October 7 release for Life Is Not A Waiting Room (Vagrant), their third full-length and follow up to 2006’s Still Searching. Brian McTernan (Hot Water Music, Thrice) produced the twelve-track set at his Salad Days studio in Baltimore, MD.

“There is a real sense of urgency in the songs we’ve been writing,” singer James “Buddy” Nielsen stated previously. “The songs have a lot of grit and power and remind me of how I felt when we wrote From The Depths of Dreams.”

Nielsen, along with guitarists Garrett Zablocki and Heath Saraceno and drummer Dan Trapp, were joined in the studio by bassist Jason Black (Hot Water Music, The Draft).

The band will be unveiling more pre-release details and their fall touring plans in the coming weeks.

Fans that stop by the Vagrant tent after July 16 during this summer’s Vans Warped Tour can pick up the free Vagrant Summer Sampler that features “Ali For Cody,” from Life Is Not A Waiting Room.

The New Jersey-based group formed six years ago and released their debut EP, From the Depths of Dreams, in 2002. 2004’s Let It Enfold You was followed by Still Searching, which debuted at #15 on the Billboard Top 200 chart. Senses Fail has performed multiple worldwide tours and their catalog sales have reached over 850,000.
