I wanted to let you all know I won’t be home for pretty much the rest of the week, so I won’t be able to update the website in case anything new happens (which I doubt). I’m going to see The Academy Is… tonight and tomorrow, then on Thursday I’ll most likely be going out of state for a family thing and will take the opportunity to see TAI again. I will be home most of Thursday though, if there’s anything to update I’ll add it then. Have a great rest of the week everyone.

We did almost an entire album and then started over, so at the moment we’re trying to catch up, but we’re all really happy with the songs right now and we’ll be done by February.”

Initially thinking they were making great progress, Panic! At The Disco wrote their first batch of songs at sessions in a hidden away cabin deep in the Nevada desert last summer. Read the full article »
