Big If Post Update

Posted by: Jason Tate (05/28/09)
Big If have posted a new update.
Message from the BandHello there my friends. I know it has been forever since we have put something new up on the site and I know we have not been answering everyone's messages. I wanted to give you an update in hopes that we will be forgiven. Originally Sean and I hoped we would be making a record this summer so we could be out touring before the year ends. Unfortunately it doesn't look like that is in the cards right now. The last few months have been kind of hectic being on seperate sides of the country, but starting this week Sean will be staying in Georgia with me for the summer so we can really dig in and write the record. We are still setting the goal to record an album before the year is over and feel confident that we will. We have debated over whether or not to take down the site and relaunch when we are actually ready to get out and play and give you a full record of music but I don't think we need to do all that. I just ask that everyone hang in there if the site is dormant for a while. It could be that we launched it a bit too early but I promise when we are fully up and running we will flood the site with music and video and message replies. The fact that we already have so many people supporting us despite the fact that we have never even played a note live is just amazing and we hope you guys understand. As soon as we have news you will be the first to know. Thanks.

-Ryan

I love how Ryan Key got blasted to no end when he was in Yellowcard, from vocal ability to being a "douchebag" etc etc...now everyone's behind him 100%. I've always like the guy personally...

Always loved Yellowcard.

Their older stuff showed promise then came to fruition with Ocean Ave, an incredible pop-rock summer album. Maybe the best summer soundtrack of this generation.

Lights and Sounds is a complete winter album, and it succeeds on many tracks. Some of the songs (both "Holly" songs, for example) are up with the best they've written.. but some of them are just awful. Loved the idea for the album, though. Loved their attempt to do more than be a one-hit pop-rock act.

Their latest one never grabbed me.. it was missing their maturity from Lights and lacking their youth from Ocean. A stange album of some kind. Not bad, but it failed to grab me.

If Big If can capture what I liked about Yellowcard, then sign me up.

I like Big If. And I also liked YC's most recent album. It was miles ahead of Lights and Sounds.

Huge Yellowcard fan here.

The Big If songs sound great! I can't wait to be able to buy the album. Take as long as you need.
