WEDNESDAY 13 has issued the following update:

"Ghouls Scouts, fans and friends,

As the release day for Skeletons gets closer (April 29th), I can't tell you how excited I am. This is the first project in a long time that I have had 100% complete control over. Every penny from this project has come from my pockets. I could have signed a record deal and received an advance and had a lot of the marketing, advertising, radio, video budgets all provided to me. But really, that is just like a loan you take from the bank and I give up a lot of rights to the songs.

As I have stated recently, this release, Skeletons, is very personal. It deals with my alcoholism, depression and state of minds for the past few years. You guys see one side of me, but there is also the family side, the friend side, and the side that, like all of you, gets lost some times.

I want to take this time to thank Hot Topic and Interpunk for truly getting out there and supporting our efforts. I would also like to thank my friends LisaJean and Marlene for all their help on the packaging.

As the release date approaches, I know it's easy to go and illegally download this music. Please understand, that if you are a fan of the band and you want to see us live, by illegally downloading the music, you will literally be taking money from our pockets. There is no record label backing me.

Thanks for your support throughout the years,

Wednesday 13"
