Haven’t done a non-Schwartz post in awhile. Since I started my side blog probably. But this is
Important
Happy (early!) birthday @hoybero!!
The kid got to cross state lines to go see their fave close out a killer 4 band lineup. The soon-to-be legendary Boy Hero was incredible and hb got to watch from the frontlines while he removed his jacket and revealed that he was wearing the friendship bracelet hb gave him before the show. I’ll let the kid rave and scream about every cool thing he did and I’ll post the video of his entire set somewhere later for anyone who’s interested, but here’s a quick peek at how close we were….
No barrier *gasp* I literally had to kneel to get him in frame. He was so kind and his set was absolute fire. Every band killed it last night. My body is screaming in pain trying to remind me that I’m about to be 40 soon, but holy shit my heart it full
Link to Mr. Hero’s playlist is here. It includes the song Lifeless, Like You which I highly recommend you go hear live as soon as we can hype this man up and get him on tour!! So please, listen through that playlist and pick a favorite and get it to a billion streams or so. Thanks. Until then, catch him on Twitch playing magic or strumming for Scene Queen on her next run!
One more pic because I cannot hold it in. Here he is singing right to hb and you can see the bracelet on his arm 😭
Okay. This has been a non Schwartz post. Apologies or you’re welcome, whichever applies

Tomorrow we find out if we're ever getting back Give Heart Records.
That is 10 years worth of music from two artists, two bands and countless collaborations. That is a whole career's worth of success partially deleted. So much work and it's all fucking gone. Like a decade long version of Unus Annus or something.
imagine being someone at new rome university and not knowing percy is the same guy as “percy jackson, son of poseidon, two-time hero of olympus, former praetor” because the thought doesn’t even cross your mind. like… he’s percy. he’s a total frat boy. on a normal night, he walks into a party, refers to everyone as bro or dude, socializes with every living (and not-living) person in the room, makes at least 50 sarcastic comments, plays 12 rounds of beer pong, drinks way too much, and then skates around campus on his skateboard yelling “I LOVE NEW YORK” (which makes no sense, because they’re in california) until someone calls his girlfriend to come get him.
and then one day there’s an attack, and frat boy percy is all of a sudden a fighting machine. he’s yelling battle cries alongside the praetors frank zhang and hazel levesque as they lead everyone into battle. (why is he with the praetors? and why…. why in the world do the praetors seem to be following his lead?) his sword slashes through armies of monsters faster than you’ve ever seen. he’s controlling the entire river surrounding the camp, creating huge waves as tall as skyscrapers that crash down all around him, wiping out monsters and causing mass destruction to his enemies’ ranks. the sky is suddenly dark above you, ice-cold water droplets are slashing through the air, and the wind is blowing so aggressively that it’s making it hard to stand up steadily. because he’s somehow created a hurricane.
and he looks terrifying. you can feel the power radiating off of him. he’s like a god. or maybe a monster. it’s hard to tell. you’re a little scared of him, to be honest. but also in total awe, because it’s extraordinary. he’s extraordinary.
