Whoa..dumping your management and record label!?! Damn....GUTSY move. Especially after hooking your wife's band, in Chad's case up with your management company. Maybe...they were focusing too much on the whole Tom DeLonge thing...haha. Or maybe they want to really push Eisley which wouldn't be a bad thing at all....and can we say HELL YEAH for From the Screen To Your Stereo 2 released on Drive-Thru! Gah!!! This FALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yes I'm EXCITED!
Plus new album in 08'!!!!!! So not only am I graduating in 08' but I get new NFG too.....uh..YES!

So....here's to good things from NFG...all though the Galactic Gangstaz...are pretty entertaining. Haha.

Alright well I felt I needed and deserved a minor freak out about this. YESSS.
