Reggie and The Full Effect

Lawrence.com has posted a great personal interview with Reggie and The Full Effect’s only member, James Dewees.

We don’t want him picking up your bad habits either.

Well, my bad habit now is “Battlestar Galactica.”

It’s great to see that James is also a Battlestar Galactica fan!

Reggie and The Full Effect Skittles

Earlier this week, Reggie & The Full Effect filmed a video for “J” with directors John Carlucci and Adam Rothlein, and it includes a star turn from Frank Iero of My Chemical Romance, whose band Leathermouth will be main support on the farewell tour. The storyline is still top secret, but is based on the idea that “every monster deserves a shot at love.”

CAMU TAO R.I.P.

TODAY, around 2pm, our dear friend, family member and musical collaborator Tero “CAMU TAO” Smith passed away in his home town of Columbus, Ohio. Tero had been quietly fighting for his life for the last year and a half after being diagnosed with lung cancer.

To those who knew Tero, he was an almost uncategorizable force of nature. Wild, hilarious, proud, loving, tough, outspoken, spontaneous and brilliant. He wore his heart on his sleeve and he dripped creativity, leaving inspiration and awe in the hearts and minds of anyone who was fortunate enough to see him work.

We, his friends and family, have truly had our collective hearts broken by his passing. Not only because of the loss of our friend, but because of the loss of his contribution to those who never knew what we knew about his talent and his potential. He was the secret that no one wanted to keep and we always knew that one day his vision and his heart could change music forever the way he changed all of our lives.

His departure from us all 1 month away from his 31st birthday is nothing less than a tragedy… nothing less than a crime. he was a gift to us all and he is irreplaceable. Rest in peace, Mu. We will love you forever. May god bless you and your family.

R.I.P.
Tero “CAMU TAO” Smith
born 6/26/77, passed 5/25/08

sincerely,
jaime “el-p” meline (on behalf of many, many wonderful and broken hearted friends)

Roadrunner Records UK has decided to create a remastered version of Glassjaw’s first full length, record label debut, “Everything You Ever Wanted To Know About Silence“, due out August 4th, 2008.

A close source says that this is not endorsed nor supported by Glassjaw in anyway. Roadrunner is simply trying to make some extra money.

Please, don’t purchase this.
