As a way to thank you all I’m making a little gift/surprise for you guys!

I would just like to thank all of you again for submitting your work to this project, it’s just amazing to see how many people have a story to share or a piece of art inspired by Patrick’s album!

Two Years and 10-16 tracks later…

I could never thank you enough, and judging by all the other stories and submissions here, neither could the rest of your fans. This project started out as an idea born half way through listening to Coast,(It’s Gonna Get Better). This album got me through the 3 hardest years I’ve live through to date, it seemed like every single day no matter how bright the sun shone there was a cloud looming. On the days that the sky broke open and poured I had this album, and along with a little hidden strength to through it all. Thankfully I’ve never put a razor to my skin, but i have put plenty of sharpie on it, especially the words “Life’s already been hard enough with out you giving up on yourself, when you’re down on the ground you know it only gets better!”

I would just like you to know that not only did it get better, it keeps on getting better and brighter.



I think the Soul Punk show at the Metro was one of the best moments of my life, thank you for thanking time out for your fans!!!

Hopefully I’ll be seeing you again for the Pax-Am show ,same place again too, how cool is that?

This album, you and your hard work and incredible talent brought me out of a 3 year slum and gave me my artistic spark back, and for that I will always be infinitely (on high) thankful.

Now I have a new happier and much more artsy out look on life and a person, as well as a band who I could never thank enough, as well as a life goal to one day work for and/or with Fall Out Boy. A little crazy? Hell yes and I’m determined to make it happen provided you accept of course.

For now I’ll keep working towards my goal and I’ll keep this project running, I said I can’t thank you enough but I can always try to come close.

So here is what started out as an idea and became our way to thank you.

Welcome Patrick, this is The Soul Punk Project!
