August 13, 2009August 13, 2009. Motorcycle Accident.So today I was just doing my business on the computer when I hear a huge glass-breaking sound. I saw a disassembled red motorcycle and all it's scattered remains in the middle of the road, a blue motorcycle in the ditch, a helmetless Freddy nealing down next to his Helmetted friend (thank God) Brandon. Three more cars were coming down the road to know what the noise was. Five minutes later, A fire truck arrived at the scene and asked Brandon what had happened. Freddy and Brandon (23yrs) were on their motorcycles driving to see my brother, and Freddy slowed down to turn in the driveway but Brandon was unable to slow down, so he rearended Freddy and flipped over the handlebars, driving Freddy into a small ditch (no damage done to the bike), and Brandon flipping into the street (broken shield and many other parts flew off). Freddy walked away with a few road rash burns. The ambulance showed up soon after and put him in the cruiser. That's it... Scary, and Thank you God that Brandon had his Helmet on.
Brandon broke multiple ribs and his hip in two places.

July 15, 2009Interview with American Diary
This interview is a little old. Now the band is simply a trio but nevertheless they're all still amazing musicians and now the trio consists of Mike Clark [guitarist], Brandon Reeder [drummer], and Brandon Ingley [guitarist]. Anyway here's the interview with them back when Ben [ex-guitarist] was still with them after their first Warped show. The have toured with the Hint, opened for YellowCard, played Warped and headlined their own tour last year! They're young, they're determined and their music is insanely catchy!!! SO CHECK THEM OUT ON MYSPACE OR BUY THEIR ALBUM ON ITUNES!!!!! trustt meee you want to do this. If you like All Time Low, Blink 182, Forever the Sickest Kids, Third Eye Blind or other Pop Punk Rock bands you willLOVE themm!!
What genre of music do you consider your work to be and who are your major influences? I'd consider us pop punk / Alternative. Major influences are blink 182, 3rd eye blind, brand new How long have you all known each other? How did you meet? we've all known each other for years, reeder mikey and I met in High school and we met Brandon because he was in another band that we were friends with at the time.
When did you form your band? What inspired you to make music together? the band started in spring of 2004 and we were inspired by the thought of four best friends playing music that we love and having a great time!
Where have you performed? What are your favorite and least favorite venues? We've performed all across the country, our favorite place is probably Rams Head Live back home in Baltimore :]
What are your all time favorite songs? Who are your favorite artists? Favorite artist for me is proabably 3rd eye blind and my favorite song would have to be motor cycle drive What is your favorite of all your songs? heart attack pact and the new ones soon to come :]
What inspires your lyrics? every day life? haha
Could you briefly describe the process of making and promoting an album? first we write the songs in about a month, then we go in and record them. After that we'll go out on tour to promote the new release and then keep touring when it comes out! What has been your biggest challenge as a band? Have you been able to overcome that challenge? our biggest challenge has been to break through a mold and set ourselves apart. I think the next record will really shine through with that quality.
What is the ultimate goal/ direction for your band? to be able to support ourselves doing something we love and hopefully share same great music with people everywhere. What advice do you have for people who want to form their own bands? just keep it fun and hold that dream in your heart, eventually you'll get there.
What's the most bizarre thing to happen while you were onstage? mikey getting naked haha What’s your favorite and least favorite part about touring? favorite part is being free and meeting new people everyday, least favorite is not having a bed to sleep in every night.
Does touring and the other aspects of your professional life affect your private life? Are you able to keep up with school work? none of us go to school or work so I guess it does lol
If you had two words to say to the readers right now what would they be? stay gnarly :]
So I know this is old but I'm gunna try to get Reeder, Brandon or Mikey to give me another interview so this would be an interview with the newly formed trio.

June 30, 2009I'm Sorry, I Thought My Wings Could Hold Me Up - Chapter Twelve
Chapter 12: So Long and Goodnight
It was raining the day of Brandon's funeral. Of corse it was, this was a day where you think nothing more could be sadder. But, somehow Mother Nature had to turn on the sprinklers and the clouds have decided to get drunk and have a bar fight. This is perfect. I wore a Taylor Swift styled black dress. It looked like her dress that was in the December/January issue of Cosmo Girl. It was weird, I didn't care that was exposing the world to my scars. Brandon would've never let me do that but he also always told me that I needed to feel okay with myself and my body. So, here I am Brandon, standing with my arms and legs bare, showing you that I am empty and that I don't give a fuck about what everyone is seeing of me right now. Eat your heart out world, Alyssa Kelly Montgomery doesn't give a shit about her shitty body. Alex and the rest of the band came with me to this place, this dark hole of nothingness and love. Alex had his arm around me the whole time, he dried my tears instead of my parents. I always thought my parents didn't like Brandon and I didn't think that they cared about me. What does it tell me that they let me cry on Alex's shoulder instead of theirs? Does Alex care more than they do? I mean, this kid didn't even know Brandon and he cares enough to let me stain his jacket with tears and come to the funeral for that matter. Mom and dad only came to the open casket. Speaking of, I'd like to tell you about what Brandon looks like. I've always known him as the long brown haired kid, his hair was always styled like Martin Johnson's, even before Martin Johnson styled his hair like Martin Johnson. His eyes were green with tints of brown in them, just gorgeous. His body wasn't anything, we always joked about his "one-pack" but still, he was thin and slender. Sometimes it scared me that I was going to accidently break him. Half of the time, he wore black rimmed glasses. He dressed like any scene/emo kid, he pulled it off. Now, I looked at him, laying in the casket. Dents all over his head filled in with make-up, stains of what were probably blood that didn't come off his chin. His eyes were shut but if they were open, they'd probably speak of what happened. Of what a drunken jackass the other driver was. I'd love to know what happened, it'd make me sick but I could still know what killed my best friend. They had smoothed back the blood clots in his hands so that you couldn't tell what was there before. But, people kept rubbing his and so much that he was bruising. This bones were broken, frail and cracking through his clothes. It was sickening. Now, he was wearing a faded and cracked blue and white Thrice shirt, over it was a brown leather coat. He had on skinny jeans and his Kurt Cobain/Converse hi-tops. So, the pastor read from the bible and then the choir sang. His brother, Joe, got up and said a few words and so did his girl-friend, Krystal. Then, I was asked to get up and say something about him. So, I choked back a few more tears and checked my make-up in a mini-mirror. "Be strong, chick, be strong!" Alex smiled at me, cheering me on. Then I walked up to the podium and stared down at the bible that was open in-front of me. I knew that it wasn't supposed to be read off at this ceremony because the pastor had already read from that same chapter. I didn't know whether or not to read it out loud or just keep it to myself. But, I decided Brandon was smiling down on me enough right now to read it and share my story rather quickly. I looked out at everyone; their red eyes and cheeks lighting up the church. "Brandon was my best friend since I was seven," I told everyone. I looked out and saw his mom, trying to be strong for me. She tried to put on a smiling face but it didn't necessarily shine through strongly enough. "I don't know what I would've done without him in my life," I looked ahead and saw a picture of him and I when we were at the lake when we were 11 or so, we were so cute. "I mean, in my situation, I'd probably be dead without this boy trying to help me and keep me alive." I bit my tongue. Maybe this is why Brandon had to go, so I could tell my story the way he wanted me to. "See, I blame myself for a lot of things and that put me into the position of becoming a cutter. I truly wish that I would've listened to Bran and wouldn't had cut, I mean, he tried to get me to stop so many times. I got him to do everything and vise-versa, only, I wanted to cut so much that I had to love it more and want it more than I loved and wanted Brandon," I started to cry. "That's not fair." I told them. "It's not, I wish I could be looking at him right now and telling him sorry. I'd be on my knee's begging for the forgiveness that he'd instantly give me because that's the kind of person that he was. A forgiving one. One that'd forgive you if you just killed his dog." I felt warm tears stream down my face more and more. "When I came up here, I saw this bible and quincidentaly it was on the Psalm that Brandon had read to me when I was recovering from cutting even though I barely believed in all the nonsense of "God" and I would like to read it to you if that's okay." I looked to the pastor for acceptance and he nodded his head 'yes' at me. "Psalm 6: 'O Lord, do not rebuke me in your anger or discipline me with your wrath. Be merciful to me, Lord, for I am faint. O Lord, heal me, for my bones are in agony. My soul is in anguish. How long, O Lord, how long? Turn, O Lord, and deliver me; save me because of your unfailing love. No one remembers you when he is dead. Who praises you from the grave? I am worn out from groaning; all night long I flood my bed with weeping and drench my couch with tears. My eyes grow weak with sorrow; they fail because of all my foes. Away from me, all you who do evil, for the Lord has heard my weeping. The Lord has heard my cry for mercy; the Lord accepts my prayer. All my enemies will be ashamed and dismayed,; they will turn back in sudden disgrace.' " I stopped and smiled with watery eyes. "Thank you for listening to me," I told the people in the pews. Then I looked up to the sky and said "Lord, thank you for letting me borrow Brandon in my time of need." And I walked down from the podium. Alex was right there with open arms for me to cry in. So here, for you, is the perfect (depressing) funeral mix for you little friend who you didn't know would be out of your life so rapidly. The time was momentary and you don't know what to do. R.I.P. Brandon, you're severely missed. 1. "Helena" by My Chemical Romance 2. "Corps of Corpses" by Hawthrone Heights 3. "Wait Until I'm Gone" by The Honorary Title 4. "The Last Fight" by Velvet Revolver 5.
