  Vote for EMPIRES. Tom and I go back 10 years. Sean and I go back 8 years. I’ve had more sleepovers with Ryan than I have had with any other friend (no homo) and I’ve seen Max around since he was 14 ripping solos on stage with Sum 41. They most definitely deserve to be on the cover of Rolling Stone as they’ve been standing outside of shows promoting their band for 5 Chicago winters straight. All of the other bands are from warm climates and don’t suffer whilst promoting there band. Don’t you see? Don’t you see!!?!?!
