yes here before it again!

Man those full length v/a are gonna be alot of music to download :)

Wow--I listened to Surprise Surprise, and vocally, it's what I would have expected Brendon Urie to be doing by now.

Holy crap, Lots of music.. I love promos!
Thank you!!

Does anyone know which company's will actually send you promos in the mail?

Surprise Surprise definitely have some Brendon Urie love going but I'm downloading anyway because it sounds promising.

This.

Surprise Surprise's EP is really good. Although I'm almost positive Brendon Urie is just playing a trick on us. Kinda like the old "have you ever seen Brendon Urie and Patrick Stump in the same place" thing.

Has anyone listened to It's Just Vanity?

I love fmf and Surprise Surprise definitely have my attention because/despite the panic comparisons. They seem really solid.

Yes, I liked it, I'm going to download it now!

EDIT: mp3's won't play in iTunes...weird and annoying.

these branches' ep rules.
