With a new album and new vocalist Aaron Pauley, Jamie’s Elsewhere is ready to take on the world with their sophomoric full-length “They Said A Storm Was Coming”. Imagine Taking Back Sunday’s choruses coupled to Underoath’s songs and Saosin’s sense of melody along with a shitload of keyboard sounds a la Enter Shikari.

It’s just a mess of influences that make for an extremely crowded album with screams, guitars, clean vocals, keyboards and thundering drums all tumbling and stumbling over one another. You know how something can be too much of a good thing? Well, this is simply too much… for ADD kids only!

Lacking the talent to actually play in a band, Tom decided he would write about bands instead. Turns out his writing skills are mediocre at best as well.
