Morning all. I write from Sherman Oaks, California, in the middle of the night. Shows with Fake Problems are going well, it’s awesome to see the boys again, their new stuff is excellent. Cobra Skulls also rock, but more to the point Look Mexico are my new favourite band, check em out! Anyways, to business.

The new video for Long Live The Queen (below) is popular with the powers that be. It’s up for voting in the MTV2 Hot New Ones chart this week. We’re up against big hitters, but recently people power (i.e. you guys voting) has got me on Zane Lowe and Jo Whiley, so, if you can take the time to go vote, that would be appreciated, and if you want to spread the word, that’d be better. Thanks all.
