well, we're out on warped tour and i could not be more stoked.  everyone is so cool, and there are tons and tons of people showing up to the shows everyday. the highlight is meeting all the other musicians.  coheed, circa survive, and killswitch have been some of the coolest people.

our highlights as far as shows have been main stage in salt lake city utah! but i wanted to say thanks so much to everyone in denver, we got set back because of the rain; everyone stayed around and watched us at 8pm! even after being out  in the weather all day.

we're on till july 27th and after that were going to take our first real break since february. it will be nice to finally be able to unpack my suitcase and hang out with my family and friends!

my brother and i will finally be able to watch transformers, and…

so our 4am united flight arrived here last night and they lost my suitcase! no worries though, im learning to live without my possessions, but my toothbrush?  not sure i can live without that!  oh
well, tonight is going to be amazing.  i can't wait, every year at cornerstone the show gets better and better! we are playing with our friends in relient k so life is alright!

were heading out on our first ever warped tour tomorrow morning!  the first shows are in California, so it can't start off any better!  we're excited to see our friends in bayside, and it will be my first chance to see circa survive and coheed live!   it seems every time we're on tour (which is always) they're on tour!

the godspeed video is up on myspace.com, so go check it out!  we have received a lot of great feedback and i am glad everyone…

well we just arrived two days ago here in adelaide, australia. what an amazing advernture thus far, as many of you know we had never been to singapore or japan before.

all the shows were amazing but in singapore we played a small acoustic secret show at a really cool club called hope. i think absolutely everyone was singing along because i couldn't even hear myself
singing. in life that is going to go down as one of the greatest shows for me personally. i could not stop smiling the entire time. we all made a promise to each other to translate more of our songs to
acoustic guitars because we did not want that night to stop at all.

japan was insane. i tried to speak japanese in between each song, but it wasn't too good. hopefully it's the thought that counts. i can't wait to go back to japan, it didn't feel…

at home on break from tour. heading out to japan soon, and shooting a video, and drinking dr. pepper. later on im going to a pirate ship... no joke.

it has been SO good to be home these last few days.  deon, joey, and i played cornerstone florida, playing some of my songs  for 'anchor&braille'.  nate has been hanging out in tampa with friends and family, we were supposed to go see rouge wave together but were both pretty 'showed' out so we skipped it for a coffee shop.  christian has been hanging out with his friends in southern cali and is now in seattle washington. he just had a bday a couple days ago and were planning on celebrating it when we see him again... IN JAPAN!  we are so excited about hitting the road, its our first time to japan so we have no idea what to expect. i have been doing australian interviews the last couple days and the majority of the journalists are saying that the shows are going to be pretty insane, some are…

i think if i could i would never come off this tour.  i would just stay with the 4 of these bands and hope no one would ever get tired of us traveling with the same people!  tonight wraps up the last night that bayside will be with us, unfortunately!  they are amazing musicians, with great fans, and incredible people!

tonight we are here in Pittsburgh, home of steel and zao.  the boys in zao are coming out tonight, so i'm really excited. we have had a lot of friends come out these last couple shows;  matt kearney, hawthorne heights,  say anything, emery, and a couple other bands. good times!

we're excited to be heading into canada here soon, new bands new tour; the end of the tour we are playing bamboozle for the second time & immediately after that we head off to sweden to shoot our music video for 'godspeed'!!!!

that's…

hey guys this is stephen from anberlin,

just wanted to post a blog to let you know what going on in the lives of me and boys.  well on his off time joey has continued to write more for the next next album, he is a machine and the songs he are coming up with are ridiculous; he has also randomly started taking up cooking and i have
been over to his house these last couple nights and it's nice not having to pay to eat lately!

deon has been gracing the cover of this weeks buzznet.com, and he and i just got back a couple days ago from india. i think it really got to him and he is talking about coming with me to africa this december.

knate has been busy doing video blogs (on youtube), hanging out in atlanta with his brother, and in addition, him and i drove to orlando…

Answered by Stephen Christian – lead singer

What city's music scene is underrated?  Overrated?

I think the city with the most underrated music scene is Seattle, Washington;  I think a lot of people overlook this scene because of the big novelty of grunge coming from there in the 90's.  But today the music scene in Seattle is thriving and growing.  Overrated is Southern California;  I think the usually innovative California has taken a turn for the stagnant with bands coming out of there sounding the same as the music coming out of there 10 years ago.  Sad, but they either need a serious revival or its time to move on.

If any one of your songs could become a theme for a television show, which song would you choose, and for what show?

Well , I think “Godspeed” would make a great song for…
