Or check it out here:

"The song is about how hard things can get on the road when you have a girlfriend back home. We've all been there many many times. 'Ex Marks the Spot' is the part of you that still tries to feel normal through all the chaos that comes along with living on the road."  So says A Skylit Drive frontman Michael "Jag" Jagmin of "Ex Marks the Spot,".

Just for fun

I See Stars Acoustic cover of The Outfield's "Your Love":



(His voice is a little to whiny in the acoustic version, but I definatly jam the studio version in my car.)

Check out Punk Goes Classic Rock for some fun new versions of your favorite classics. My favorites on the album is "Caught up in you" a 38special original covered by We The Kings, and "Take me home tonight" Eddie Money covered by Every Avenue.

I buy all the "Punk Goes..." records, this is the 9th release and is by far my favorite.. it reminds me of summer for some reason! Maybe because I have seen most of the Original bands that are covered on this album live at summer concerts.

Mayhem Fest 2010!

There will be two stages the Main Mayhem Stage and the Jagermeister Stage with bands such as,

Atreyu, Lamb of God, Five Finger Death Punch, Hatebreed, Chimaira, In this Moment, Shadows Fall and bands joining in certain parts of the tour later on like Norma Jean!

Speaking of...Norma Jean has announced their release of their 5th album Meridional, due out on July 13 to coincide with the start of the Rockstar Energy Drink Mayhem Festival.

Norma Jean will be on a two week tour with Every Time I Die, and will be done just in time to join up with the Mayhem Fest in Atlanta! Getting back to their roots, Norma Jean (originally named LutiKriss) is from Douglasville, GA. I saw them back in 2001 when they were still Lutikriss! They were amazing, they soon after changed their name not to be confused with the rapper Ludacris.

If you haven't listened to them, I suggest giving it a chance, check out their last album The Anti Mother, check out these sites http://www.theantimother.com/ , http://www.purevolume.com/ or just keep an eye out for them on tour this summer!

There are alot of shows to check out this summer, but go ahead and mark your calendar for this one!
