After New Years in 2011, the band and I came back to the studio for a meeting. It was a horrible day, yet it had to be done. We were all done with the fighting, the drinking and not to mention the fact that my past was Short Stack which became the future I never wanted. Bradie was over it, he wanted the producing at home by his apartment window with his girlfriend and a dog. I wanted to do a solo thing, I wanted it my way, which I now realize it was slightly selfish for saying that. But we were all unhappy with Short Stack, we loved the fans, we loved the shows...we just hated the reality.
The reality being hungover, making sure our album was done by the due date, fighting over how music should be made, fighting with our girlfriends, parents, fighting with each other and fighting about our past. The drinking in it all made it so much more depressing.
We all put a maybe on the break up until after we played two shows. Andy was quiet, he took many photos, as did we all. He'd smile on camera but funny thing is behind that he's straight faced, quiet and dull, he said fine to the break up, but if it's two against one, what's the point in fighting? Especially when we've fought, time and time again.
