We all want to be heard and play to massive crowds while making enough money that our parents won\u2019t worry about our futures. I\u2019m so proud of our accomplishments as a band but some nights, after the show ends and those crowds leave the venue, when you\u2019re in the back seat of a dark van, you feel like you\u2019re not doing enough and those dreams you have become nightmares of what you\u2019ll never achieve. You can be on top of the world and have nothing.\u201d<u><\/u><u><\/u><\/p>\n<p class=\"m_-595704347364215863MsoNoSpacing\" align=\"center\"><u><\/u>\u00a0<u><\/u><\/p>\n<p class=\"m_-595704347364215863MsoNoSpacing\" align=\"center\">\u201cI was going through a real out of body misery when writing \u2018Empty,\u2019\u201d Baxxter playfully admits. \u201cThe duality of a being a broken-hearted romantic splits a person. On one hand, you&#8217;ve been wronged, you should run and never look back. On the other, the rewarding time spent and memories made keep you trapped in the worrisome \u2018what if this person leaves\u2019 psychosis. I wanted to write a dance-y song making fun of how unfortunate it is to be in love, sometimes.\u201d<u><\/u><u><\/u><\/p>\n<p class=\"m_-595704347364215863MsoNoSpacing\" align=\"center\"><u><\/u>\u00a0<u><\/u><\/p>\n<p class=\"m_-595704347364215863MsoNoSpacing\" align=\"center\">Fans can fall in love with\u00a0<b>BROADSIDE<\/b>\u2019s live show once again as the band will support Set It Off across North America starting June 11 and wrapping up July 19.\u00a0<b>BROADSIDE<\/b>\u00a0will then head into the studio to record a brand new album, the followup to 2017\u2019s smash\u00a0<i>Paradise<\/i>.
