IN THIS MOMENT GET A NEW DRESS (AND A NEW SOUND)

Have you ever seen that episode of The Simpsons where we get to see inside Homer’s closet, and it’s full of identical white shirts and blue pants? I’ve kinda always assumed that’s what Maria Brink’s closet looked like: just an endless row of those blue dresses.

Well, I guess the royalities from Beautiful Tragedy are really paying off, ’cause as you can see from the above photo of Maria and some other dudes who I think may also be in the band, she finally got a new dress!

The group has also posted a new song, “Forever,” on their MySpace page. It comes from their forthcoming album The Dream, which Century Media will release on September 30. To the band’s credit, “Forever” sounds nothing like the reheated metalcore that made up the majority of Beautiful Tragedy. Not so much to their credit, it sounds like reheated Nightwish instead.

Still, I give the band props for trying to branch out… in their sound and their wardrobe!
