Hi everyone,
I have only been told about this forum about 20 minutes ago and didn't know we had any message board. I read that press release that was written by someone that thinks they know about us... truthfully.. the only people who are truly informed about this issue.. are myself, foxx, Leah, Colette, and our management. First of all, im informing everyone because all the half true posts are mainly from family members of the girls and aren't from us.. well, now you have it... from a member of the band. Liveonrelease is no longer a band. I'm sorry to all those people who helped us and supported us along the way.. im truly greatful for everything you guys have done! How did this all happen.. well, we were finishing up a Notbychoice/kazzer tour in may.. and they day after we arrived in vancouver... HRMRecords recieved a letter in the mail about the girls wanting to leave. As shocking as that was... we all Knew it was coming! Some of the posts were saying that the girls were not being treated the same as me.. because of the connections with the label. Those girls and I were all spoiled from day one... To this day we have only sold 12 thousand records in canada... but we have had luxeries such as wages, videos, really nice hotels in each city while on tour, Tour bus on longer tours, and an experience that so many people would kill for. These are such things that a band like us would not get to experience if it weren't for the money put out from our managers pocket. Tour support and factor only go so far. Apparently all those things weren't enough for those girls... but maybe working at a toy store(leah), a music store(foxx) and pizza hut(colette) is enough for them. In some way i feel that this is my own fault because I know my father and the label HRM wouldn't have lost so much money if it weren't for me being in the band. To the girls, at this point I have no more hard feelings and I wish them all the best in there future plans. For all those liveonrelease fans that feel they are left in the dirt, im very sorry, but there is nothing i can do... look for my new band coming out in the fall, and on stage with Bif this summer, thats all i have for you.. and i would be happy to answer any e-mails you send me.

It was posted on an unofficial LoR board, and really, though she says she has "no hard feelings" towards us, it's hard to believe her when she's badmouthing us. She says we got unnecessary luxuries, which we did. I can't deny that we were treated awfully well, but you know that she wouldn't ask for the extra shit if she didn't think she'd benefit from it as well, you know? It's not just as if we asked for it, she got it for us, and we didn't appreciate it. The whole thing has brought my entire mood down. It made me realize that she's playing with Bif and has started a new band, and where are Leah, Foxx, and I? We're nowhere. I quit my godforsaken job at Pizza Hut, but I still don't know what I'll do about my future and my career in music. It's terrible to sit down and actually mourn your loss, you know? When I think about how serious this is, it actually becomes serious. As stupid as this may sound, the only thing that I can honestly say gives me some hope is my boyfriend. Not only is he there for me and reassures me that everything will be okay, that I'll start a new band and we'll be twice as popular as LiveonRelease ever was, that first bands don't usually work out anyway, but he also is there to keep me well aware of what I have in my life. When I say "what I have in my life," I really mean him. It's not every day that someone like me gets so lucky and acquires someone like him, let me tell you. Before I get all pathetically sappy, I'd like to say that I'm very grateful for the fact that he's letting me stay with him for the next ten days and tour around with him for however long. I'm sure he'll get sick of me eventually, but the touring and everything will help me take my mind off of this horrible situation. Sure, it'll make me quite nostalgic and I'll miss LiveonRelease, but when I'm not thinking, everything will be peachy keen.
I don't know what the purpose of this post was. The situation is still undeniably depressing.
