Sorry to anyone who went to go see us at the Angry Penguin BBQ but we had to cancel last minute.  We will definately be playing the 27th at the Oasis and you should all come because it's Kiss At Gun Point's last show ever.  Dun dun dun.  So if you don't come you will never see them again.  Plus Gibbler will be playing along with a whole bunch of other awsome bands.  All the info is in the shows section.  And yes the rumors are true, we are in the process of recording.

Thanks to everyone who came out and saw us this past Sunday, you guys are all awsome and you should check out the band One Candle Power cause they were awsome.  We really need to sell tickets for our next show at Empress Ballroom on July 11th so email us if you want one and we'll work out a way to get them to you.  They're only $10 and we're playing with Left Behind and Dead Letter Dept. so it's worth it if you ask me.  Also, the shows page has been updated.  I hope to you all the 11th.

Well the new site is finally here as you can obviously see and we have some new things to tell you about.  First off, if you check out the Shows section you will see that we have a bunch of shows that we'll be playing this summer.  On top of that we have began recording with Tom Simmons from Kiss At Gun Point.  It is unknown at this time how many songs we will record but what we do know is that they will sound awsome so keep your eyes peeled and check out our upcoming shows. Enjoy the new site.

Well, don't forget to come to the show this Sunday and tell all your friends while your at it, and if you've made it that far do a little dance and pat yourself on the head, and if you've made it that far you're just a dancing fool.  Well I'm out.  Take it easy.

Ladies and gentlemen, do not adjust your monitor, this is an actual update.  Yeah sorry, it's been a while I know.  We may have been keeping under the radar lately but we've been doing a lot.  New songs are coming along, new recordings, and we will soon have a list of shows up so keep an eye out.  In the mean time I have a little treat to keep your addictions going.  It's the lyrics to Contemporary Rock Song and you can view them by clicking here or going to the song section.  And if you're wondering about the new site design it is still on the way.  It was just delayed by school and all that crap, you know how it is.  Well until the next update take it easy. PEACE!!

Update: 03/27/03
Verbal Addiction has been laying low for the past month but we've written some new kick ass songs (they're my favorite to play) that will definately be busted out at the show on April 4th.  As for the people of Verbal Addiction, Kevin still has no car, James' brand new body kit is already cracked, Paul can still eat Double Doozies at a ridiculously fast rate, and I had some good times over the weekend.  Come April 4th.
-Sean

Update: 03/11/03

Well enjoy the video and remember that Verbal Addiction is swell.

Update: 01/30/03 New Song On Mp3.com
Our new song Your Shadow is now up on mp3.com so if you had trouble downloading it off of our server it should work like a charm off of mp3.com
-Sean

Update: 01/29/03
So yeah, there is a new site design becuase I got bored of the old one.  This current new look isn't official yet however, because we will be experimenting with a couple of different looks for the next few days.
-Sean

Update: 01/25/03
There are new pictures up of the show we played at the Teen Outback in the Pictures section, along with new bio pics of each band member up in the Band Info section.

Update:01/20/03 New Song Up for Download
Well it took all day but a new song is finally up ready to be listened to.  It's called Your Shadow and it's up in the song section right now.  For now we will be hosting the song on our own personal servers until the song gets approved on mp3.com, which will probably take about a week, give or take.  Well, enjoy the new song and tell us what you think about it on the message board.  Keep your eyes peeled for more new songs coming soon.
-Sean
 
Update: 01/19/02
Well it happened.  We had our bad luck show where everything that could possibly go wrong happend.  Oh well, at least we got that out of the way now.  Other than that the show today was fun.  Thanks again to The Hopewell (or whatever new name they've currently decided on) for letting us use their equipment again and a shoutout to Ash Return who played an amazing show.  Oh yeah, one more thing, there is a new slighty different version of Verbal Addiction up now in the songs section.  This whole time the version without the backup vocals was up but that has now been corrected.  Keep an eye out for new songs coming soon.
-Sean

Update: 01/01/03
Well the new year is here and I don't have much to say in terms of the band but I thought I'd update since it's been a while.  Things have been a little slow this past week with the holidays and what not but we've managed to work on a handful of new songs and we'll hopefully have some new recordings soon.  Don't forget to come to the show on the 19th.  It's gonna be huge and we've somehow managed to get a decent spot on the show.  All the info is in the Tour section.  On another note, if you guys want to see the daily quote from Paul continue on the message board, you better get over there and let him know because it looks like he's having second thoughts on whether or not he should continue doing it.  Well I guess I had more to say than I realized but that's it for now and Happy New Year!! 
P.S. Don't we all just look so handsom in that picture.-->

Update: 12/15/02
I'd like to thank everyone who came out to the show Friday and gave us their support.  I gotta say it was freegin' awsome.  Also, thanks to The Hopewell (who played their best show to date) for letting us use their stacks.  I don't know what we'd do without 'em.  Since school is ending thursday, and we have a month off, we're hoping to get a good amount of recordings done, so keep an eye out. Check out the pictures section for some new pictures too.
-Sean

Update: 12/11/02

Hey everyone.  If you want to finally hear what we sound like we finally have two respectable recordings in the Song section.  If you only have time to download one, I suggest trying Someday, Somehow.

and yeah it's on a Friday  the 13th, so don't stay at home because your too scared to leave your house or some crap.  Friendly Fire, The Hopewell, Forever Sleep Syndrome, Ash Return, and Across April will also be playing that night, so if you hate our music at least come and check them out. It will be $6 at the door, doors open at 6:30,  come and go as you please, and loose yourself to the music.
