I would say that I wasn't writing songs about my particular problems while I was going through them during this record. I was writing songs about falling in love, and I was kind of skating around the subject a little bit. After I went through all of that, that's when I started writing very clear and very forward songs about what I went through. Read more
It's an impression further deepened by the group's debut at the end of August before a Southern California audience of more than 30,000, when, in the middle of Linkin Park's set at the first Epicenter festival in Pomona, DBS unveiled a handful of songs.
"While we were playing," remembers Ryan Shuck, the band's guitarist, "people were yelling 'TOOL!' It was one of the hardest shows … but we didn't expect it to be easy. Between all of us (in the band) we've sold 57 million records, and we didn't get there by going in front of a bunch of people and expecting not to have to fight for it." Read more

"Wow. Incredible first Dead By Sunrise show in Stuttgart, Germany. German LP fans are fucking awesome!
Sitting at the airport with the LP crew – everyone half asleep from working their asses off last night. It was incredible to see the crowd clapping their hands as hard as they could and yelling “Linkin Park” ALL NIGHT LONG! I think the DBS set went really well – by “my Suffering” there were hands from front to back for us as well.
This was our first real show, and I am amazed at how well the band performed together. I guess the experience of being in Julien-K together, fresh off our last US tour carried over well into DBS. It was really cool to able to play guitar again –and look over to see my favorite singer (and best friend) rocking the fuck out with us.
The band looked great – seems that we can not shake the fact that we love our fashion. Looks like black and stark white are the color combos that work (so far) for DBS.. Really fun to adapt and evolve our look into a new project.
More later - Knebworth, UK next!

Ryan wrote a little message on the DBS MySpace about their first show in germany, 2 days ago :)
