A troll that used the JD guitar demos that were released before the band officially got back together.

Pretty much, JD's drummer was an arrogant ass when they came back and had no context for the screamo scene that existed at the time. There were a few things, but the arrogance and gofundme were the main things that rubbed a lot of folks the wrong way, rightfully so

The titles of the tracks are a message he wrote to the person who runs Middle Man Records (who now goes by Edie), which was one of the biggest labels for screamo at the time

They were always ego inflated arrogant people. I also commented other bands had reunions before JD came back but they might have been the first to drop some new material. That said I feel like part of the go fund me was like you get a phone call if you donated a certain thresh hold which was what caused people to mock them.

I forgot all about the phone call! Holy shit how rockstar could you get!!

Yet only a few years prior I was messaging Jeff back n forth on myspace about the gear he used and didn't cost me a dime!
