A Brief Summation of the Last Two Years...

We are proud to announce that we officially have a full line up for We're All Broken. After a year and a half of searching for a singer, we are bursting to share what's been going on in just the past 2 months!!! In April of this year, we were brought to the attention of a local (NJ) singer songwriter named Joe Wilson. He has become what our band has been missing since we went through losing our singer back in January of '07. And the change does not stop there. We lost our drummer along the way as well, but we are ecstatic to have our brilliant and attractive buddy Casey playing drums with us. We started writing music together as a unit in May and it has been amazing so far. We just posted a new song called "Blacktop Cry." It is the first song we ever wrote together. We wrote it on a Tuesday nite. It was our first 3 hours of saying hello to one another, musically. And we are very excited to share it with you. New pictures are up as well. Please check it all out on our myspace page.

We were on what many of our friends called the longest singer search in history. In all honesty, we went through 2 of the darkest years of our lives and through it all, never gave up on this band. In April of '07 we went through the horrible flood of our rehearsal space which made itself an omen of things to come. It became a metaphor for the next year of our lives… in two words: flood damage.

It took months to clean after the flood and through it all we continued writing on through the summer months, another summer home away from the road, another season of mindless jobs… the ones which serve no purpose other than to support our musical addiction. Then in September of '07 our drummer quit, uninspired to continue writing music without a singer. Our drummer of over 10 years had left. But Jarett, Joe and Frank did not have any vision of ending the band. We tried playing with different drummers, continued to audition singers, continued to write songs… all of this in the wake of watching our band seemingly disappear as we stayed on what could be called nothing more than a ghost train. This band had been a part of our lives for over 10 years. And we had to deal with the reality and disappointment of watching the thing we love and adore bleed all over the living room floor. It was the most confusing time in our lives, and the only thing we knew to do was to play through it. The only thing that kept us sane was playing music together. Through all the dark and ultimately enlightening times that came through the end of '07 and the early months of '08, we never let up on the idea of reforming our band. All along, at every step… life changed. And as it grew, we grew with it. Every step of the way, writing music to mark our place. And somehow, we emerged more hopeful than ever. Life is funny that way. We learned about the power of belief in music and each other. And we came out of it as better people. But it wasn't us alone, by no means. The people who continued to audition for the singer position over the course of this year and a half despite all our unending supply of bad luck … you became the lifeblood of this band… without you we would have nothing. Which brings me to this most important of points:


WE LOVE AND APPRECIATE EVERYONE WHO TRIED OUT FOR OUR BAND. We were AMAZED BEYOND ANY PRIOR NOTION OF AMAZEMENT at the demo submissions we received. People who auditioned for this band, truly astounded us in every way possible. You guys and girls became the only friend we had beyond each other telling us that this was worth our time. Your efforts and time and creative energy and vision and everything… always amazed us. You were our silent partner… You reminded us at every step that music can connect with people, that it is a real and valid element to life… that it is life. Never afraid to bare your soul and sing your song.. over our music… it is an amazing and humbling experience, and truly from the bottoms of our hearts … we thank you. We could not have continued this band to any degree without each and every one of you. Forever, our undying love will go out to those who submitted demos and kept us believing in the power of music, expression and true passion.

So here we stand today ready to assume the duties of a full time band. We are more passionate and die hard than ever… and we are ready to kill. This is still a very new and exciting time for all of us and we learn more everyday by playing music together, its been amazing so far. We officially began working on music as a full unit in May '08. New material is being constructed every week. And we will be playing shows starting in August and onward.

Thank you to everyone who has ever supported our band. And to those who are still there to listen… we love you. These songs are all our songs. More and more and more to come, we promise you.

With love,

Joe, Casey, Frank, Jarett and Joe
