Hey i just heard you guys on the radio and got some of your music online..im deff gonna go get your CD. You guys are major talent. Usually when i get into bands that are just getting out there they get pretty big...so we'll see how i do with this one. Good luck see you in Philly on the 25 at the Troc with trapt!

Posted by: Andy on June 28, 2003 01:20 AM

hi, saw the video on fuse last week. randomly the song was in my head today after only hearing it that one time last week. had to checkout the site to hear the unedited version to find out that you do it for the drugs. refreshing honesty. because everyone else does it for the bitches and the money. and sorry but i dont think you guys are hot. but then again im not a 14 year old girl. cheers and gook luck in the future

Posted by: nate on June 28, 2003 02:27 AM

dude...i know that uve heard this like a thousand times and are gonna hear it ten thousand more...but you guys are really good. i heard bottom of a bottle a couple of weeks ago, and its still in my head. keep up the good work guys, and lets hope i can make it to the Axis on the 22nd....

Hey Guys!
Just wanted to let you know that you guys kick ass! I went to the shows in San Diego and House of Blues Hollywood when you were with Trapt and Seether. Ok, so can a concert line up get any greater?

Posted by: Lisa on June 28, 2003 03:24 AM

Posted by: Jesse on June 28, 2003 06:16 PM

sup guys, yeah you already know you rock so just keep doing it. the first time i heard ya'll song on the radio i loved it. well then i checked out your site and it wasnt up yet so i just kept checking every now and then till it was up. then i saw that you guys were coming to new orleans so of course i had to go. yeah you played with trapt and seether but i mostly went to see you guys. i was the only chick in the front center who was jumping and rocking out. but anyway get your ass back to new orleans as soon as posible. the only thing is everyone knows who you guys are now. your on the radio more and i see your video on tv. just remember to keep it real and oh yeah and dont forget to rock out.

Posted by: rockchick on June 28, 2003 09:18 PM

Hey sean - you probably don't remember me. I was the one that would always come and pick up Laura and Sarah - (step sister) - i just wanted to say that i am very impressed with how far you guys have gone, and how much the music has come together overall. You guys are great. Hit me back if you want... if not... it's cool...just don't forget where you came from - alot of people do when they blow up - that would suck if you guys sold out ya know.

And im sure you have already read that you guys are the shit... i don't care weather or not your going to email me... All i guess i have to say is thanks for putting out an album that mirrors my life and feelings... it's actually quite odd. good luck

Posted by: DigitalNS on June 29, 2003 11:45 AM

I was introduced to your band by a friend the other day and after heearing one song..i needed to hear more! You guys sing about stuff thats real! I love it! You guys rock! Hope to hear more of ya in the future!

Posted by: Miranda on June 29, 2003 06:27 PM

Hey!

You guys are so awesome. You have so much talent. I've been listening to Bottom of a Bottle over and over. I'm obsessive. You guys need to come to Oklahoma. No one thats actually good has ever come here except Korn. We're very very deprived. We need you! Anyway, keep up the outstanding work.

oops sorta posted it twice my bad lol

Posted by: crissy on June 30, 2003 02:30 AM

Ok, the declarations of hotness are bothering me. However, repeating everyone else... you guys rock! *slaps self* I saw you at the Chameleon Club in Lancaster, PA, and it's nice to know that you'd come play in Buttfuck, PA and put yourself at the mercy of all the Amish people's buggies. The people here thank you! It's not often we have the opportunity to go to a concert, and the SES/Seether/Underwater was a refreshing experience. Of course, we're sitting around and waiting for your return (that I'll quite frankly be amazed about if you ever DO play in the area again, it's not exactly a hot spot) while planning on 3 hour drives to get to one of your concerts... this is the way around here... Every concert is an overnight outing ;p And I'll have you know, getting your CD took me 2 weeks of waiting, not that I'm complaining because it's awesome... just not the same as a concert.

My sister got your album and I heard it and fell in love with you guys. you guys are honestly amaxing, and I cant just say that about every band. In the past few weeeks I have been dealing a lot with my sister and her trying to kill herself and so I didnt know how to get through it. but In many ways you guys helped. I was able to listen to your music and I just stopped thinking about things with her and I think things got better. but I thank you guys for making music! cause you guys honestly rock! Come to Albuquerque, NM that would be the greatest!

Posted by: Holly on June 30, 2003 06:33 PM

Hey, I just saw you guys about a week ago when you played Portland, OR (well, it was really Estacada for Big Stink 8, but you know what I mean). Anyway, I have to say, I had no idea who you were when I walked in there, but shit, you guys kick ass! You guys and Seether were my top picks for the day, so get you asses back to Portland so that you can rock this place again. Yeah, that sounds just a little cheesy, huh? But whatever, the CD is awesome, and the lyrics are smart, which you dont get everyday anymore. And frankly, you guys seem to be one of those rare bands that are even better live than you are in recording studios. Frankly, the world o' music need some more bands like that. Anyway, I'll catch you guys later, maybe I'll stalk you backstage at your next Portland gig. Don't worry, though, I'm the nice stalker ::wink::

Hey, I heard Bottom of a Bottle a while back on Fuse and it was a good song. Smile Empty Soul, you guyz are very good at what you do, and keep it up. I've never met you or been to one of ur concerts but your music is good. I'd like to thank you guyz, (Smile empty Soul), for being a true inspiration to me and everyone else. I hope to be an accomplished singer in a band some day and you guyz are helping me build that dream.

----Thanks----

Posted by: Kelsey on July 2, 2003 09:31 AM

hey just wanna say that you guys need to get your asses over here to the east coast! out here in VT we never get any good concerts! anyways you guys rock so hard, i love the song "bottom of a bottle", i'm getting the cd as soon as i can. also wanna mention that DAMN, sean, you're mad hot. that's not why i love the band tho, you guys have the best sound since.....umm can't really think of anything to compare it to. it's great tho. keep rockin!

Posted by: Christine on July 2, 2003 05:26 PM

sean, derek, ryan you guys are fucking awesome. your music has so much power in it. awesome lyrics too. sucks that the word "drugs" is edited out on the music video tho, that's about half the momentum of the song right there. it still kicks ass tho. i'd love to see you guys live but i live in the middle of nowhere and no one ever plays concerts around here, it takes five hours just to drive anywhere to see one. props to fuse for introducing me to your music, i saw the video "bottom of a bottle" once and was hooked. stay true, and email me if at all possible
*Chris*

Posted by: Chris on July 2, 2003 05:42 PM

Wow you guys ROCK! I can totally relate to your music, it's nice to know other people feel the same about life and parents... "no one gives a shit as long as we smile" definately describes how my family is... life sucks, thanks for understanding! You guys were incredible in Milwaukee, come back soon! Sean, you're definately HOT! I love the tattoos!!! I'll keep listening to your music,your CD rocks!!! I look forward to any new music you guys are working on! Thanks for being a band, KEEP IT UP!!!

I LOVE SMILE EMPTY SOUL!!!!!Ya'll have to come to Los Angeles, Cali NOW!!!ROCK ON hehe

Posted by: Ashley on July 7, 2003 11:28 PM

Hey ya'll are the shit! My personal favorite song is Nowhere Kids by ya'll. It's kinda weird how everyone only likes Bottom Of A Bottle, it's like that's the only song they know from you, and that's as far as they'll go to actually know the band. I really hope you guys can play in Texas sometime soon, cause we need more than just Garth Brooks to Good Charlotte. C-ya!

Posted by: Sparky on July 8, 2003 12:56 AM

Hey! I finally got around to buying your cd, I heard Bottom of a Bottle on my little road trip across the country and thought it was awesome so I've been waiting to get enough money to go buy the cd. And I would just like to thank you for not having a cd that only has one good song (the single usually) and then crap. You guys are awesome!!! I'm already waiting for another album! You should put up more photos though dammit. I like pictures.

Posted by: Susannah on July 8, 2003 01:39 AM

Smile empty soul, you guys were fucking awesoem at rockfest in kansas city. you guys were seriously one of the best bands there. im on ur streetwise streetteam we passed out all the cd samplers and stickers around the arena and weve stuck a bunch of stickers up around town im making everyone i know buy the cd altho its really hard to find copies of it here in st joseph. me and my friends have been writting stuff for a while now and your music has inspired us a lot. there needs to be more bands with good music that has meaning.

Posted by: jeff oz on July 8, 2003 02:45 AM

hey...you guys fucking rock!!!!!!!!.. i got to see you in concert and you guys rocked!!!....i love all your songs...there kool...well goodluck with your band and stuff..

Posted by: jessica on July 8, 2003 08:46 AM

Really... You guys are the best I've heard. You have your own sound, your own style, and it all just fits together so well. You're the type of band I hope to become. I'll hopefully see you all in the big leagues in a few years.

If I only had a decent set of drums.... Mine are falling apart. No, really, they are... You know, stands coming apart when I play, causing drums to fall, or chunks of my cymbals busting off.... It's not pretty. They can't take much more... I make what I have work, though.

And keep up what you have going. You guys are great, and everyone is starting to find that out. I'm behind you all the way.

-Matt

Posted by: Matt on July 8, 2003 09:43 AM

Dude you guys rock the socks! Your music is awesome & I'm behind you all the way! I hope you make it big because you deserve it! Oh & hi!

hey guys, i got a first glimpse of your music at the hfstival in d.c. my friend addy is on streetwise and she told me that your show was something i wouldn't regret. so i came back when u guys were at "live on penn" july 5th, this time i brought another friend, and the day was freakin hot but so were u! we all look forward to seeing you july 24 at the 9:30 club with trapt and three days grace. good luck with everything! much luv, kadi & her posse

Posted by: kadi on July 8, 2003 11:03 PM

Well, I posted this in the forum, but it's not showing up yet, so I'll say it here:

Congradulations! I was browsing the Billboard Top Singles in Rock, and saw that you guys have hit up to number 15! Wow! I'm impressed. All these fans that make it so my post is so far down have helped you make it there. (They are at number 16 now...Evanescense bumped them down a spot)

I remember when you guys were still Hecklors Veto (and still have the demo in my cd wallet) and when you guys played the infamous "Dance Club 200" (boy did that place suck) with bands like St. Dickshift and the other local talent. I first heard of you guys through my mom, who saw Sean almost everyday at the post office while he worked at Mail Boxes Ect.

Keep up the good work guys. I hope to see your album on the top 100 chart soon!

Posted by: Michael Grande on July 9, 2003 12:10 AM

Oops...that would be "Dance Club 2000"....either way it still sucked. Damn them for getting rid of the Plaza movie theater!

Santa Clarita sucks, congrats for getting out into the rest of the world.

Posted by: Michael Grande on July 9, 2003 12:12 AM

ahh yu dont even kno how much I lov yu guys hehe yu wuld proly think Im some stalkr or something.. all off yur songs touch me in a way songs nevr touched me before HAHA that sounded gay but o well.. and wen I hear bottom of a bottle on the radio I get all excited ..its funy.

Posted by: Toony on July 9, 2003 03:04 AM

Hey guys.

I was looking at some local tour dates and saw that you guys were going to be playing in Michigan soon with Trapt and Three Days Grace and I decided to check you guys out. To put it simply, you guys are great. Great lyrics, great sounds. Just wanted to give you guys props for making good music. :o)

Later. Feel free to drop me a line if you ever have the time.

jen

Posted by: jen on July 9, 2003 05:19 AM

Wow... I am amazed with your CD. I went to the store to pick up a CD by Cold, and saw your album. I bought it never having heard of you guys and I'm so glad I did. I write... I guess you could call them lyrics. I am currently trying to teach myself guitar and put it all to music. I always get shafted when I share my writing wanting help putting it to music. Most people want some peppy, pop song. If I'm in the mood to write peppy, pop stuff.. maybe I would... but I never have and don't plan to. What I'm getting to is that you guys are an inspiration. I'm a girl and it can be hard to break the mold of what people think or expect you to be. I am Mormon and I know it's true... but so often fellow church members expect the little girl in a dress waiting to get married and pop out babies. That's just not me.
"Hollow and alone
Who'd have thought my life was stolen
Desperate to drown the pain
I cry."
(an excerpt from something I'm working on)
haha... hope you liked the life story! sorry for taking so long. You guys rock!

Posted by: Jamie on July 9, 2003 06:32 AM

WOW. you guyz kick azz. i wud buy u'r c-d but im broke off my azz. i love ya guyz it wud mean alot if ya wrote me back cuz it jus wud even if ya jus sey hey

Posted by: stacy on July 9, 2003 07:00 AM

Hey guys.
I heard your music a while back and the first time I saw the video for it, I wias pretty impressed. The more and more I listen to your music, the more I love it. The music is real, and I adore that. Keep up the excellent work and hopefully you'll come down here to Hawaii?..Pretty please? With sugar on top?
Thanks.

Posted by: Noelle on July 9, 2003 08:39 AM

I don't know shit about the band or anything like that, heard Bottom of a Bottle via Naptown, and I plan to buy the album. I just think a good band should come up to Alaska and perform. *hint hint* You guys kick ass.

its kickass that you sing about drugs... even if it was meant to resemble soemthing else.. like family or whatever it might mean. Every song is like a story.. i dont know. i hate it when bands do it for fucking money and chicks. i would be a dumbass to ask to write back considering that im the 1 billionth person to write..

You guys need to come to Seattle! I know you guys were here a couple weeks ago but I missed it cuz you were filling in for somebody at EndFest (remember?) and of course I didnt know you would be there so I didnt go. So please add a Seattle date to your schedule!

Many of your songs relate to me, and those that don't as much rock just as hard. Thanks for putting my (our?) feelings into words...something you don't think you're doing at first. Scary, huh? Oh, by the way, you should come to Oak Park, IL...or some other Chicago suburb (close to me, though...^_~). Peace,
