Pop Punk, Emo, Pop | Fort Lauderdale, Florida
The day after the tour van accident I woke up in the hospital. I was told I had been in a mild coma. I was told my drummer and best friend had broken his spine and foot. They said he may never fully recover or even wake up. I laid there with a broken jaw, unable to breathe on my own. The last thing I saw was headlights. This was the night I thought my music career was over. Me (Michael O.) & Nick B. were hit by a drunk driver going the wrong way on the interstate. The boy who hit us died upon impact. It took a year for me to recover. It took Nick a year and a half to recover. The first thing on my mind after the accident was "I'm not letting this stop us." Nick proved all the doctors wrong by making a full recovery. We decided to give it one more shot! Love, She Wrote was born in 2007 and quickly gained recognition on the road. The original lineup of the band did not share our vision. We wanted to make music our career and life. They wanted to play in a band and meet girls. We decided to revamp the lineup in 2008 and play the music we wanted to play ever since our early years in bands. Then we met Joey C. via internet. Joey sent us his demos and we fell in love with his voice. Joey was living in California at the time. Joey packed his stuff and moved to Florida. We decided to keep the band a three piece, it just felt right. The bands we loved growing up were three piece groups, so why couldn't we do the same. We worked for 2 months straight writing what is now "Oh! And About Last Night..." We heard of a producer that was working with amazing bands and we decided to give it a try. Paul Leavitt is best known for his work with All Time Low, among a million other amazing bands. The thing that draw us to him the most was his beautiful style in meshing the sounds together and his amazing ear for vocals. We ended up finishing the album earlier than expected and headed home. We were super excited with the result and the quality of the recording. I immediately showed our lawyer and now manager Jessica Brown the finished product. She said it was definitely an awesome sound and would do great in the music world today. Jessica (FTSK,RCW,AVSP) teamed up with Brian Calhoun to start managing the band full time. The band decided to go with Smartpunk.com for the CD's distribution and online sales. Smartpunk is an amazing company and is well trusted. We added the album to their store and have been in the top 3 for sales ever since. We gained the attention of The Daily Chorus and became a buzz seeker within the month. We also caught the attention of Alternative Press Magazine, who decided to make us AP&R; worthy for the month of January. This all happened within the first two months. We were super amped and felt so thankful for being able to play music again. We also added an amazing list of sponsors to our roster: Killbrand Clothing, Bad Cat Amps, Shine Drums, Heil Mics, and Music Saves Lives. We will begin full time touring in 2009 and we couldn't be happier. Music is our lives and nothing will ever take that away from us.
