Current news
07/19/04 - well thats that i see
it's over now. goodluck to you and enjoy fucking someone else.
06/10/04 - well fuck field day,
the guys arent aloud on campus so i will still be there dicking around, sorry for the bad news. Oh and myopia is a kickin
song, look for me playing it at the talent show.
05/29/04 - I will be in two
acts at the NJH talent show this year one solo and the other in a band cover an Alanis morisette song, uninvited, if you dont
go to our school and want to come ask me for the details on the friends and family show.
also in passenger news, i still
only have two songs done and four more on the way, this experience has taken a bit longer then i'd thought it would,
but i think it will turn out well. I really have no idea when it will all be recorded for you on some format or
another...i'm rather discouraged with all the bootleging going on at the moment, probably sometime this summer.
Anyway hopefully you will enjoy the sound ive embodied with this record, all parts except for drums are written by me,
so right now i'm not really sure who or what "live" passenger is/will be, but we will soon find out.
05/12/04 - #SHOW ANNOUNCEMENT#
your very own passenger will be
headlining the stage at field day this year, be ready for some new music and a kickass live show. Opening acts:
Underlying Thought and one more TBA .
05/01/04 - as you have probably
figured out may day has arrived and you still have no new music or live shows, tragic i know, but i promise it's worth the
wait. Working on some great new tunes, as well as a band i'm in will be playing field day at NJH this year.
Good things are coming.
04/20/04 - you all know what today

number, for real this time kids. Oh and there is a new album title to be revealed in time as well so...be ready.
03/06/04 - good news, bad news.
Bad news is the demo release date has been pushed back, the good news is I am nearly complete with a 5th track and beginnning
a sixth. The show at inglemoor tomorrow isn't happening, but we will still begin playing shows around here as of may
1st.
02/26/04 - down 7 strings, 4 songs
in the works, a rumored show at inglemoor on the 7th, does it get better then this?..maybe later, but for now this is it.

01/28/04 - 2/3rds of Passenger

will be playing the northshore junior high's valentines day dance on february 6th. half hour set starts at 8 sharp.

01/16/04 - Because i'm sure you
are all curious i have finally decided on the track listing for Passengers forth-coming demo. Tenativly titled "Origins", the
tape will contain 4 self produced tracks ive written over the course of the last few months. We hope to have all recording
done by april 30th and release the tape on may 1st. Initial pressings will be in limited quantites but depending
on the demand we are always open to printing more. As for touring in support of the album we will be playing a show for sure on the night of the 1st, the
venue is still pending but when we find one we will let you know. After that, shows will be a random stab in the
dark but we will give you the heads up if we are having one. from the beginning, peace, love, empathy
-bryce
01/10/04 - I know its sort of a
weird time, and kind of random as well. But i would like to say that Kurt cobain was a great man. Someone who
said, fuck, music is music, im gonna play it because i like it, because its what i want to do, fuck what anyone else thinks,
this is what i think. I respect that. Thanks for the music kurt.
01/07/04 - Reworked some tunes over
the past few days but mostly it has been an uneventful week. Been snowed in, so in a way thats cool. Life is rockin.
I strongly suggest you pick up the Underworld dvd with all those gift cards you got over the holidays. Spending the
weekend at Jasons, so we will start doing bass lines again and hopefully have 2 songs tracked by the end of january.
Not much else to report so...peace
01/01/04 - well its 2 hours and
45 minutes into the new year and its already proving difficult, but whats pleasure without pain right? The holidays
are finally over and this damn christmas music will leave me alone for another nine months, we didn't finish the record like
i'd hoped, in fact we are no where near it with a grand total of 10 songs in the works, but we should start playing shows
soon and the album will definantly be done in the next few months. For those of you who have shown any interest in this
matter, thanks much and we will soon be able to reward you, peace love and rock and roll. happy new beginning.
12/31/03 - PART 1: things went well
today, spent about 6 hours messing around and it payed off, i ended up with two great new spines for songs, a great way to
end this year if you ask me. hope you all dont get too drunk, have a safe and happy new year. 3...2...1...
PART 2: well 2 hours to go and silence
is still golden, to bad none of it is to be found anywhere in my head, some things just dont click and partying is one of
them, never understood how to interact with multipul people at once, oh well. Fucking
reptiles. you wonder why we are so commonly compared to apes and such when we more resemple the reptilian
family, take the chamilian for instance, an animal that changes is color as a self defense. We have the same characteristic
as a personality trait, except we use it at free will and only show our true colors at our worst times. Desperate, begging
for air as someone else holds our lungs in their hands and begins feasting on the oxygen that is just out of reach.
Funny, this is similar to everything that seems to go through my head. it must be something in a state of mind
12/27/03 - something far from nothing
come around and still go back to zero, nothing proves what i cant follow understand please dont deny my faith, i trust you
now but god why dont you listen for a while. I am your unexpected savior red is my color and i will betray her i wont
go down beside you but i will lay by you for a while.
12/13/03 - Things are about to get
switched up.
12/10/03 - I have made many mistakes,
but none that i have thought about so much, to you i am truely sorry, please let down your wall and come join me on the otherside.
12/05/03 - fucking tried to jam
with jason yesterday but as we are opening the garage the fucking tranformer goes and we get fucked, so that didn't happen.
Messed around with matt today, not much progress made, i dont have west nile woohoo the album is still going full speed ahead,
stephen lynch tommorow. goodnight.
11/30/03 - well if there are such
things as good days, then this is one of them. I have been in california over the break and i wrote two more songs,
i will post them tonight so have a look. Other good news is that we have finally found a drummer, kyle will be joining
the band completing the triangle and filling the position. We will begin jam sessions on a regular basis and hope to
have our demo done by the end of the year. Thanks for all your support and we promise you some music shortly. peace.
11/24/03 - Last night i wrote the
most kick ass thing ever, the writing is going great. Im going to california for a few days on wednesday, so im not
sure if i will be able to update, but i will be taking my guitar and a lot of paper to continue writing. Keep chcecking
in for more news.
11/22/03 - Yesterday i went to the
puddle of mudd concert with evan and keith and saw a kick ass set from them. After the show we were lucky enough to be able
to meet the guys and thats when the most kick ass thing ever happened. I started talking with wes scantlin,
the lead singer, and he gave me an interview for our magazine at school. he was so awesome. Thats good news on the band
front as well because he gave me an address to send our demo to at geffen records. Freedom here we come.
Oh and check out the new lyrics
under the working title "a clean getaway"
11/16/03 - "...the seed will bloom
into a beautiful flower, a flower no doubt, but how can u be sure it blooms red with the sun"
11/15/03 - This last tuesday i jammed
with jason and we banged out bass lines for 4 songs, they are sounding good at the moment but they are still in their ruff
cuts. I came up with 2 more riffs as well so now we will stick with those six songs and make the the best we can before
we reveal them in time. In the song chords of life by satch, i think that quick fingering part is one of the coolest
things ive ever heard. Yea check out some good music by filter, the damning well, nine inch nails and tool and all will be
well in your life. peace.
11/08/03 - Completed my foo fighters
catelogue today. Beat out evan, haha you bastard you owe me twenty bucks. Progress on the record as of now is
3 songs are in the works, one additional track is completed but will likely be reworked, and thats all for now. keep checking
in.
