Where are we?!?
Take a look in the profiles… we’ve added a fun little live broadcast of somewhere where we are. Post here in the comments where we are. The person who guesses closest (or exact) will get a t-shirt and subscription.
EDIT: Congratulations to colt.45 for being correct to within 1.1 miles of where we are. We’re in a hotel outside of LAX (Los Angeles International Airport). _Ether_ was the 1st to say LA, but colt’s precise answer is the most accurate and closest. Thanks for everyone’s participation!
FFR’s First Country Artist! Gary Allan Joins the Widget Family!
It�s raw and emotional. It�s freight-train-to-nowhere lonely. It�s hard-rockin�, no-apologies country music that has traded in its twang for a gravelly growl millions of fans recognize as the voice of Gary Allan. And with LIVING HARD, his latest release from MCA Nashville, Allan once again proves that, though times may change, the thread of truth at the center of his music remains the same.
So check out Gary’s MySpace! Play his widget on FFR! Pick up Watching Airplanes on iTunes!

Synth, Jason, and Tass….. LIVE!
There will be a mini-Admincon meeting going on tonight (Thursday). Synth, Jason, and myself will be broadcasting live, complete with video and audio. You’ll have to check back later today for more details, but it should be tons of fun. Who knows…. there may even be a not-so-spontaneous contest (although I promise nothing)!

FFR Meets almost FFR Hair
JasonKey was strolling through the profiles late Friday night (ok, early Saturday morning) and wandered upon this fine example of DJ Swabber’s FFR Hair + FFR Shirt. Ok ok, You can argue that a majority is purple but you must award bonus points for the attempt at FFR blue. That is dedication if I have ever seen it.
It makes me wonder what would happen if we sent her a custom neon green or orange FFR shirt.
Big thanks goes out to DJ_Swabber for posting this image up in her profile.
If you think you have some front page worthy photos, use the contact us link at the bottom of the page to let us know. There is nothing quite as fun as showing off in front of 100,000+ people per day.

AS I LAY DYING…. I want a widget!
The members of AS I LAY DYING are the kind of musicians that refuse to be measured solely by their most recent accomplishments. The new album, An Ocean Between Us, is evidence of this fact, proving once again that these guys are not afraid to push the limits of their sound and always keep things moving. The music grabs you by the throat and doesn’t let go until the album’s finish. Building upon the foundation that AILD has laid over the past several years, growing from a small San Diego outfit slowly and deliberately into a priority national act, the band has become Metal Blade Records’ biggest sellers with an extremely devoted following. AS I LAY DYING has the goods to take it all the way and stake their claim as the metal band “you need to know about” in 2007 and beyond.
Check out AILD’s MySpace for more info on the band! You can also play their widget on FFR! Like AILD’s sound? Check out more artists from Metal Blade Records!

2 Small Named, Big Hearted Hardcore Widgets – The Forgotten Archetype and Low On Air
The Forgotten Archetype
The Forgotten Archetype is a band from Beaverton, OR. There’s only two members in the band and they just got together in early 2007. All of their tracks are self produced on the computer. Ben and Nik continue to create unique experimental pieces daily. They’re trying to work up the money to afford a live show, so keep checking in on them. They’ve released an 8 track, self titled album available for download on their MySpace, and other than trying to play live, TFA’s only goal right now is to get their music out there as much as possible.

Low On Air
These guys are young but don’t let their age fool you! Ranging from 16 to 18 years old, these guys have been in the game for over 2 years now, playing anything from parties to huge shows with 500+ people in attendance. Formed in July 2005, Low On Air began as a group of kids just looking to have fun in their garage and maybe play in front of some friends from time to time, but their style and aggression toward their music quickly progressed into the fast pace and energetic mix of hardcore, experimental, and death metal you hear today. Just this past July, Low On Air self released their first 5 Track EP recorded at Foundation Studios under the producer Joey Stergis. Their fan base quickly increased with their new and better recordings along with over a 200% increase in profile plays every day on their myspace. They currently have plans to return to the studio in June of 2008 for 8 days to record and release their first full length CD. This 5 member band is looking to do bigger and better thing in their very near future. With the recent purchase of a Tour van and working with a tailor, Low On Air is looking forward to a very busy spring and summer schedule. Keep on the look out for these guys because they are sure to be in a town near you in the up coming months.
