    I was a 19 year old kid, excited, lucky and scared to death. The day I signed to Fueled By Ramen was the best day of my entire life. Knowing everything was going to change for me. Every dream I had was coming true. Being able to make music and have a label like FBR support that music to the greatest lengths and highest highs. We released our first full length record 2 years ago. One of my proudest moments was that release day.

    Here we are 2 years and a few months later and we are going to start our 2nd full length record. I've never been so proud of something in my entire life. We have written a group of songs for this record that come from the heart. Every word has meaning. Every meaning in every song is so close to us. I think that once you guys hear these songs you will change. Two years may not be a super long time, but weve all grown up and matured. You and I. This record shows that and then some. We start recording it in January with one of the greatest producers out there and it's going to be an amazing experience.

    I'm 23 years old, excited, lucky and scared to death, but I know what we have is special and I can't wait to share it with the rest of the world. Here's to 2012 being the year.

The fuled by ramen family is so wonderful (not that i've met them, but the bands that signed to be with them) and i cannot begin to express the love i have for all of you:) Anyway, I've rambled on for too long. and i'm sure it's not like you have time to check up on these anyway, you're busy writing the new album!:D hahahha I love you guys so much!!:) Nick, Andrew, Justin and of course the fabulous Halvo! (Not in a paticular order, or level of liking) haha still, my heart will continue to grow for all the bands especially ARTTM and their good friends the Maine hahah anyway!! I'm going to end this with saying I could get lost in Rocket's music for all my life

This is really great news! 2012 will be an amazing year for me, and that is because you'll be performing here in the philippines. I just can't really believe it, that I would be able to see you play live. Even though I won't be able to get a meet & greet pass, it's always a pleasure to see you play your music! I can't wait to see you guys here on Feb2012, which is my birthday month so you guys just made it EXTRA special! :)

Im so exited. I cant describe it. I know how amazing it will be, cause that is as amazing as you are. In all the bands of the whole world, you guys knew how bright and you didn't even try to. You didn't start this for the fame, or fans. No. You did it because was your dream and that is e what I love of you. I'm a dreamer too. I had fly to the moon each night way before listening to your music, and still when I did my whole world change. Like, every song is bang! Just a-m-a-z-i-n-g. I'm getting out of worlds. I wish you all the best. God bless you. You deserve this. All of you. Dreams come true, so lets fly to the moon this 2012 ~ . From Venezuela, Katie. A Fan, and a dreamer. P. S. You better go to Brasil cause I'll be there!!

Nick, I've been listening to you since you were rockin out to your macbook. Its awesome to see something start out great, mature into something incredible, and keep us all craving more. I literally CAN NOT WAIT for this next album, Nashville style.

I've been following ya'll ever since "Baby We're Invicible" was my myspace song for forever in 2007. I can't believe how much ya'll have grown since then. ARTTM is by far my favorite band and 2 years later On Your Side is still rocking out in my car. Thank you for all your wonderful music and I can't wait for this new album. I know it won't disappoint.

I'm sure that sounds weird. anyway! just wanted to say can't wait, and i love all this band does

I remember when I first heard ARTTM, it was stuff off of 'Summer of '07' and I was either almost out of Middle School of already in High School; and now here I am in College. It has been such a privilege to grow up with you guys; you've seriously helped to shape my life. Can't wait for the new record, I just know it's going to be amazing! Thanks for being in my life!

Are you gonna play any new stuff here in Brazil next year? Looking forward to it! xx

I was so musically in love with the songs on "Greetings From" that I was nervous at first when you released "On Your Side." After listening to it once time start-to-finish I was hooked and it quickly became all I listened to for months. I cannot wait to see what this next album has in store for us fans, and how far you have all come musically since I first saw you on the AP tour :)

I've been listening to "On Your Side" for two years. Now I can't wait to hear some new songs, it's gonna be awesome. Much love from France.
