New Rose


We played UNH the other night with Piebald, Can't Face The Falling, and Call Her Alaska. The show was so full of positive energy that we ended having such an incredible time. It is really great playing in front of people that have never seen or heard of you before, there is a certain magic to it, a certain tension that makes you want to create something for them that they have never seen before, whether they despise the music that we make or are immediate fans...it is special. The show was filled with sweat, snot, and spit... and ended up being completely insane toward the finale. Somewhere between the time i flipped michelle onto her back and our drunken friends screaming in everybody's faces, I thought to myself, "damn, there really isn't anything i'd rather be doing right now." Thank the stars for rock n' roll.
we are playing a bunch of shows coming up...you should come out.

Richard Brautigan


This is an amazing poem.

Get In The Van!


The heat and/or AC does not work in our van. Our brakes are really bad and we listen to a small boombox for a stereo. We don't care...we are coming to fuck up your city anyway!

Ghost With The Most


So I went to this statue located in Brookline, Massachusetts that has been named by childhood mates and siblings as, "the statue of gloria". This statue is located on the one of the most beautiful areas that I have ever seen in this country. Seeing it made me feel as if I had entered another time in history. The statue is about 16 feet in height, and is one of the most breathtaking sculptures I have ever seen. It is located on an abandoned mental institution.

I wasn't supposed to be there. I felt a pressure pushing me away and pressing on my back at my exit. I found it hard to breathe. The statue holds a curse. If you touch a certain part of it, you will receive some kind of injury to your own body. When my sister was in high school, a friend of hers threw a rock at the statue and hit it in the knee, the nexy day my sister's friend tore her ACL at soccer practice. I wasn't supposed to be there, but I had to go. I never felt anything like that before. I believe in ghosts.

it was great.

Party Vibe.


we are out and about playing shows that usually end in a total blood fest. Our new album will be out very soon. Notice Evan's spilled blood on this set list. This was from when he split his face open in Brooklyn during the first song. We have a good time when we perform. Blood is sexy.

Gang Violins
Absolute blackout in the city tonight
Rhythm of ages wearing veins of chrome
And their sleeping on top of their homes
Your mother drugs and a revival of love

A nation of millions who just want to fuck
A sea of noise crisis closes her eyes
Remember those secrets that you once tried to hide?

As I child I remember wondering
What type of villain I was going to become
And thought made his heart just shatter then shake
We’ll die in winter

Keep alive long enough just to dig your grave
Audio illumination in her fits of rage
Distraction ego death’s rattle screams on planes

Take two arms unfold
Weapons to temples awaiting sweet soul
Can’t have my opinion I’ve already been sold
A line in the sand creates monsters of gold

This surveillance

Killing floor

Electric ghost

Corazon

And this phantom

He keeps spinning

Strange leviathan

Future leader

Did you ever wonder what this war was really for?
Interest neglected with her ear to the ground
Introduction of the new youth sound


Gang Violins.


My name is Evan and I have been playing
in Read Yellow for a little over 5 years now. It is amazing that I am able to be in a band with my best friends...a band that allows me to travel all around the globe and show kids of all ages that all we ever wanted was everything. Read Yellow is all about having a good time, we are a party. We want you at the party.
