I want to make this post short and to the point here. And my point is that I'm very appreciative of you for joining my e-mail list and enjoying my rock cover of "Airplanes" by B.O.B., Hayley Williams, and Eminem.

(I have to keep putting who actually wrote it in each post so I can steer clear of copyright problems)

But it's really made me excited for the next batch of songs that I'm going to be creating!

And for anyone new to join my ranks, please follow me on Twitter, Facebook, Myspace, and any of the other social networks that I frequent by clicking the large icons in the sidebar >>>>

I try to give updates on all the other bands that I like like Blink 182, As I lay Dying, Four Year Strong, Our Last Night, etc., so I can still keep you entertained :]

For those that don't know what my goals are, here's my checklist in order of what I hope WILL achieve with this music:

1. Write 8 - 10 songs for a large E.P. or short full-length album.
2. Record those songs. (This is the current process)
3. Gain supporters along the way. (Doing this as well I suppose)
4. Design and press real merchandise. (T-shirts, mugs, designer purses, etc.)
5. Audition musicians for the LIVE HonestKyle band.
6. Press the album. (Get it printed)
7. Have an Album Release show.
8. If all goes well... more shows?...

A few of my friends that are also musicians have been asking me about the "live band" portion and when that's going down. Keep your pants on guys and pay attention to the agenda list!

I should mention that since there's the possibility of this "band" progressing further than just the album release show, musicians who want to audition, when the time comes, shouldn't consider HonestKyle to be some sort of "on the side" deal.

I want to go all out. Make it huge. Crush it. Strangle it. Bury it. Harass its mother. Call it up late at night and hang up. Tell it that I've actually changed, get it to go out with me again, and then dump its ass all over again for the hell of it.

So don't wander in thinking that you won't need to put forth much effort. Unlike most bands you've played in, I AM A STICKLER!

(Somehow, putting the word "stickler" in all caps just doesn't give off that bad-ass vibe I was hoping for. Feel free to insert other words and phrases like "TOUGH NUGGET", "TORNADO WRAPPED IN A TSUNAMI", and "RENEGADE HAMSTER MACHINE".)

If you're a musician that's willing to practice 'til it's perfect, promote like a felon, sing ON KEY EVERY TIME YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO, and know how to separate business and fun, then I'm gonna want to talk to you.

Oh yes, I'll talk to you.

But I'm really excited about the merch and all that other good stuff. I think that I'll have some original ideas besides just the normal CDs and tshirts so heads up for that.

But please tell a friend about the new "Airplanes" cover cause I would really like everyone to have free copy :]

Until next time, I love you all and hope you have an awesome weekend,

Kyle

Not many things are truly free these days. If you start rolling away the cart with the hot plate full of bagel bites out to your car in the Sam's Club parking lot, you're gonna get some dirty looks.

Free samples my ass.

However, you can lay some serious cash down on the fact that THIS is free, and what is THIS I'm talking about? I'm talking about the digital release of my previous full band's EP for absolutely FREE!

Title: Wake the Lion Presents: The Dellamorte Track Listing:

1. Siren Out in the Dark
2. Death Becomes Her
3. I Am the Keeper

For the last 2 years I've been the vocal frontman for a southern rock/metal group called Wake the Lion. You can check out our tunes and info from any of these web pages: Myspace, Purevolume, ReverbNation, and Facebook.

We had a lot of fun playing our music throughout the local music scene of Youngstown, OH and people seemed to enjoy it. We even got our ugly faces into AP Magazine for the Blink 182 issue last year. Ironically, that's where our bassist, Justin, now has an internship as a graphic designer.

Whether it was a crowd of a few hundred of just a handful of our friends, it was still a swell, kickin' time at any show. Honestly, some of my favorite memories were of us sitting in our van that we bought ourselves and sipping on beer waiting for showtime.

Now, WTL has officially ended and it's pretty unfortunate since the band had been around close to 2 or 3 years even before I had joined and they really made a name for themselves because of it. If you would like to read the official statement of why the band ended, here's the link to the Myspace blog entry:

We're still great friends so no worries there.

However, as our final "hurrah," we felt that we would like to have a tangible piece of the band to walk away with and that's why we laid down our last few tracks that we had been writing and turned them into a FREE EP that everyone can enjoy.

It's some of the most brutal stuff that I've ever been apart of and I'm honored that I was able to join this band and contribute to these song's creation. So, if you would like to download our free EP, hit up these download links and leave us some healthy feedback on Facebook, Myspace, etc. We would really appreciate it. Thanks!
