I'm the Monster in your Closet

Once again, the bus is rolling east on I94.

I'm feeling artsy today, so forgive my strange or quirky paragraph structuring that may appear.
I've been trying to finish this book I started a couple months ago, we got so busy on the Drowning Pool an Papa Roach tours that I haven't had any free time to sit back and read, but the last couple days dealing with the strange scheduling around the video shoot for "Monster You Made," I've been able to get through 4 or 5 more chapters, and that much closer to the end of the series.  I'm reading a book called "Wolves of the Calla" by Stephen King.  It's book number five of a seven book series called "The Dark Tower."  It's a long, but excellent read, and I definitely recommend it.
I'm sure most of you don't really care about books though, and you want to hear more about Pop Evil.  That's fair, since almost all of you are being directed here through some PE-related site.
So yesterday, we spent 19 hours prepping and shooting a video for the new single "Monster You Made," which was directed by Robby Starbuck.  Check this guy's work out, he's awesome!  We shot at a few different locations through out Chicago, and they went with the whole theme fantastically.  We're very excited about it, and can't wait to show you all!  I'd love to tell you more about it, but we have to keep some secrets, otherwise there wouldn't be any surprises, right?
I think I said in my last post that the album will be out June 28th, but in order to get the best distribution plan that we could, we're gonna have to wait one more week.  Sorry guys, but it'll be worth it, I promise!  July 5th, the album WILL be out, but for those of you who can make it to Muskegon, MI, for our show at Summer Celebration on July 1st, we will have it on site and for sale!
In other news, anyone coming to any of our shows in the next 3 weeks with Crossfade may notice a difference on stage.  Dylan has been having some issues with his back the last couple weeks, and I don't know the specifics of it, but he's going to be staying at home for the next few weeks, under doctor recommendation, recovering and getting healthy for the rest of summer, so please keep him in your thoughts.  Our good friend, Chachi, from the band "Saraph" will be filling in on drums for the time being, and we're thankful that he was available on such short notice!
That's all the news I can think of right now, but hey!  I'm doing better at updating this thing!  At least this once...
We'll see how I do over the next few months!
