Tiger Beat Magazine

We asked the members of Kosmic how they felt being in a magazine with a demographic of pre-teens to teens, here is what they said, "I never thought we were appropriate for that crowd, so it's kind of cool to be featured in this magazine." States drummer, Loch Golan.

What's one thing you miss the most while on tour?

Arabella: I miss my mom a lot. I'm a huge mommy's girl.

Loch: I miss sleeping in a bed that has a comfortable mattress.

Haze: My older brother.

Ricky: I think I miss my grandma the most.

Jax: Privacy.

We know you guys are releasing a second album. Do you have an official release date you can gives us?

Loch: It's still a secret! But fans should definitely be receiving a newsletter soon with the date.

What's your favorite lyric from the new album?

Arabella: you blame me for the things I need / I blame you for the same damn thing

Loch: we kiss till we bleed / we fight till we're free / we cry till we see

Haze: we strip each other's beauty / and we push it to the end

Ricky: it's a hundred miles to get there / and there is no easy way

Jax: to become one / it could be lethal

October 29, 1984 - St. Louis

We can finally announce the date the second album will be released! November 12, 1984

We're really excited and scared for you guys to listen to this album. We're still in disbelief that we've gotten the chance to do a second album, yet alone tour the world with our great friends, 5 Seconds of Summer.

Drum roll for the album name!

Ripped Apart

The deluxe album consists of three acoustic songs

1. Black Ink Revenge: You might notice some similarities between this song and My Goodbye. Basically, Black Ink Revenge had to be rewritten into a more up-tempo tune, thus creating My Goodbye. We were all still in love with the original version of the song, so we did a recording of it.

2. Leave: Simply an acoustic version of Leave that's on the album.

3. Coleccionista De Canciones: Keeping true to Kosmic traditions, Ricky wiped up a beautiful Spanish ballad, we put some chords to it and this was the ending result.

We hope you love the album!

Take Care, Comb Your Hair,

Arabella, Loch, Jax, Haze, and Ricky

Luke faked separation anxiety and that convinced Mason to let him stay on the Kosmic bus as they drove from Tulsa, Oklahoma to St. Louis, Missouri. Loch, Jax, and Haze were sound asleep at the hour of two forty-five in the morning and Ricky was up finishing a game he recently bought. Luke and Arabella sat in the back lounge with Ricky. Luke was doing something on his with guitar and Arabella was reading through a magazine that she had stolen from the dressing room in Tulsa, it was just celebrity gossip, nothing important, but something that would entertain her.

"Have you thought about what you're gonna be for Halloween?" Luke slightly lifted his head from his guitar, but did not pry his eyes from the treasure.

Arabella skipped a page that was full of ads that had no significance, "Yeah, I was thinking something along the lines of mysterious keyboardist."

She hadn't dressed up for Halloween since she was fifteen and she was not going to dress up now.

"You can't be yourself!" Luke protested. "That defeats the whole purpose of Halloween."

"Maybe I like myself so much, that I want to be myself for Halloween?"

"Don't fight with her on this." Ricky said in a concentrated voice. "She doesn't celebrate holiday's that don't give you the day off from school."

Holiday's were not holiday's unless you did not have to go to school. She always hated those idiots that dressed up on Halloween when it landed during the school week, and they'd distract classes with their stupid costumes or tried to stay in character of their costumes. The only part of Halloween that has ever appealed to Arabella, was the candy that went on sell the very next day. She was guilty of splurging on chocolate and skittles every November first.
