Hey so we are Varsity Vogue and we like you! We hope you like us too, but if not that's ok, though Capt. Bumrush may come visit your house and give you some special loving! Varsity Vogue is a side project from our other band Bullets Through Blues skies which is kinda post hardcore and all that jazz!!!! We play music that is mixture of acoustic/emo/new wave/pop rock/folk and pretty much every type of music out there. We have three albums out (Shut Up And Drive, I Really Should Stay Mad At You Longer & Action! Action!) and this summer will herald the release of 'The Drifter's Diaries: Volume One' (14/09/2006). It's an album of highs and lows, songs that make you wanna dance, songs that make you want to cry, some songs will make you reminisce whilst others will bring hope.
All our music is free and we hope you all like it, if you do dont be shy and let your friends hear it, pass it around post up about us on forums and whatever else you wanna do. We don't have any plans to change the world although we know that there are alot of problems with it and we do write the wrongs but mainly we are a feel good band who aim to capture feeling and help you feel as good as we do! The music we write, play and bleed if for us, for you and for anyone else who wants to hear it. The main theme to our band is that shit happens but life goes on, you can do whatever you set your mind to if you believe in it enough and if we can inspire one person, make one person happier about themselves and in doing so be happy ourselves then we have succeeded.
So we hope you enjoy it and I guess all thats left to say is keep on trucking or whatever you crazy kids say these days ;) just be yourself, be free and believe. See you at the Show; Rich & Jon AKA Dancing Bear and Captain Bumrush
Varsity Vogue are;
Richard Beale (The Dancing Bear) - Vocals, Guitar, Percussion and Vainity
Jon Creighton-Griffiths (Captain Bumrush) - Vocals, Guitar and Dry Humping
What Friends no one likes me :( I may just have to cry!!!!!!!!

So just got back from the studio and everything is sounding great. We will be doing a final mix of the record tommorow and then it will be availible for your audio orgasm!!!! So there is a new tracklisting for the eleven anthems that shall combine to create, 'The Drifter's Diaries: Volume One'. And there is a bit of everything and everyone in this record, it transends genres and shall unite the factional world in which we reside...... nah Im just kidding, it is a good record though and as per usual there a highs and lows, songs that make you wanna dance, songs that make you want to cry, some songs will make you reminisce whilst others will bring hope. This is a record of hope after all, a story of finding a way to stand up for what you believe, what is right, confronting fears and overcoming obstacles that can at times seem insurmountable. Whatever this record brings to you, you should comment us and let other people think we are popular!!!! For what is life without popularity? Lol alright anyway here's the new track listing, if you would like to make digital love with us please do!, for I am nothing if not easy!!!!!!!

7.) Mistakes We've Made (And Promise To Do No More)
8.) Socks 'n' Sandals
9.) The Drifter's Diaries
10.) Nine Lives. Nine Tries; Just Let Me Get One RIght
