Yesterday was the longest and scariest day of my life. Thank you for ALL the love and support. We're going to rally around Tyler and love him with everything we have. I'm so glad my brother is still here. I'm so thankful that the 4 of us could react so quickly. We are blessed.
we really appreciate everyone who’s reached out to send their love and positivity.
here’s a thread of the events that took place yesterday

My proudest moment in music happened last night when I got to share the stage with my kid during the sold-out

Keep Tulsa in your thoughts and prayers this weekend. Literally going to be thousands upon thousands of The Cheeto's fascism fanatics descending on our city. I'll be out there with my medics bag just in case but most of you need to stay home. The idiots are looking for an excuse
Just found out one of my friends from Tulsa was murdered last night in the Q shooting. My heart is broken. So much senseless violence and hatred towards a community that's only crime is trying to exist.
If you're anti-trans or anti-queer then I don't fuck with you. Period.
Diy emo is a cesspool of narcissistic children who get a little bit of attention and then think their actions won't ever have any consequences.
If you're the front person of your band, stop preying on the People you're supposed to protect for fucks sake you disgusting bastards
My uncle died like an hour ago and my job was like "oh is that why you were so emo yesterday? That sucks, need you to have a big day today though"
And
I
Just
Might
Fucking lose it
Today is the greatest day! The album came out, I GOT THE DREAM JOB that's gonna let build my schedule around touring and I'm officially 11 months sober. Things can change y'all. The bad days won't last for ever
I cried so hard after our sxsw show today. It all caught up at once and I was so overwhelmed that I was in a signed touring band playing a major festival. I mean a dream of dream of dream is really actually starting to come true. Fucking miracles are real y'all
We as a community can’t be anti-drug user. As someone who was caught up in the cocaine carousel of hardcore partying for many years it can be such a hard thing to escape. You don’t know everyone’s stories. You can encourage people to get sober without dehumanizing them.
We ended pulling it off and Bri still performed sitting in a chair because she’s an actual rock star. Tour is hard, but luckily I get to do with some of the best people out there. See you tomorrow Pittsburgh
Diy is fascinating because you'll watch a band get a little heat and then immediately become staggeringly arrogant. Y'all love to big league each other and I just don't get it.
My grandma died last night. She was a wonderful woman, who took me in senior year when my parents kicked me out of the house. She was a beacon of endless love and support in my life and I’m so happy my kid got 12 years with her.
You’ll be missed Mema, I’ll try and make you proud
I've noticed a decrease in followers the last couple days ever since I started posting about Minneapolis. Let me be clear I don't give a flying fuck if you unfollow me because I use both my platform and privilege to declare that Black Lives Matter. I will stand with my fellow man
I've hated my face for as long as I can remember. That's why I usually always have at least a mustache to distract the bully that is my brain. I've felt ugly since elementary school but I'm so tired of being my biggest critic. I have to try and actually love myself for real. ❤️🔥⛽️
Welp put in my two weeks at work without having a plan as to my next step. I'm too old to be treated like shit by a shitty job that I've given up so much of my time and energy to. No more settling
Absolutely massive shout-out to
@hate5six
for coming out and filming the gig tonight in Philly. The kindest person who does such important work for the scene. Much love and respect to you ☀️⛽️🤘
Remember, you make your music for yourself and your fans, not for some arbitrary cool kids music blog end of the year list. Don't get caught up in the trap of comparison, celebrate your friends wins when you see em, but it doesn't make you unworthy if you're left out. You rule ❤️🔥
Hey y'all I'm the new host of "Only Oklahoma" on
@RSURadio
! Every Sunday I'll be bringing you the best in Oklahoma music! To all my local homies, Let's get your music on the radio! It's gonna be all genres so if you have a radio friendly song let's talk! It's a dream come true
I'm ok. Car drove through us on the highway in Tulsa tho. One of the most horrifying things I've seen up close. Proud of how this city has come together. United we stand.
Today's the first time in like two weeks I don't feel super ugly so here is a picture. When my ex broke up with me she said it was because she didn't find me attractive and that shit has been living rent free in every mirror I see. Not today though. Progress IS progress bb.
Watching Tombstone in the hospital. Overwhelmed and exhausted but so full of love and hope that it just feels like a regular ol Wednesday. Got to sleep at home earlier so I'm feeling great. Thank you all for being so incredible today. I feel like such a weight has been lifted
In some good news, we won the league this morning! Not bad for my 1st season coaching. So proud of my kid, being his dad is my favorite thing and I'm so happy I'll be around to do it for a bit longer. I love y'all
Sleeping on the couch at Dallas's mom and step-dads house so I can be there for his 1st Christmas morning after he learned the truth about Santa. I remember how hard that was for me so i wanna do Whatever it takes to show him the real magic of Christmas is family (and magic duh)
16 year old me is losing his mind that
@HotTopic
put our new single on their insta story. I bought my first my non-Christian album there in 2004. Ironically enough it was the warped tour compilation and that album introduced me to all my favorite bands. Released on SideOneDummy
For the record the Tulsa I know i love is full of beautiful people of all races, creeds, sexualities and gender identities who all hate racists and the apartments next to Soundpony. Don't let them twist us into Trump-humpers like the rest of the state. Fuck the president for this
That was the healthiest relationship and break up I've ever had. Shit hurts like hell but I'm a better person because of our time together. Sometimes people's feeling change and that's just the way it is. Sucks when it's out of the blue, but I'm gonna be ok. No hard feelings.
Cliffdiver is for everyone
Well except
- racists
- homophobes
- white supremacists
- Christian nationalists
- transphobes
- xenophobes
- misogynists
- People who are dicks
- Eagles Fans 🏈
"Labels are watching your political tweets today and now aren't gonna want to sign you" - some dude I went 2 high school w/
Well if that was true, then I'd consider myself lucky to avoid working with someone who thinks all this bullshit today wasn't worth speaking out against.
Y'all need to quit playing with these drugs. Cocaine is NOT your friend, it's trying to kill you (especially with all this fentynal out here). Encourage your friends to get clean not too play Russian Roulette so y'all can have another rabbit hole after party. I just love y'all ❤️
I know numbers aren't everything but the amount of love and support we've recieved this year with having only put out two songs is wild to me. Y'all Make us feel so special.
LP2 next year? Can't wait until y'all hear who we're recording with 👀👀👀
This was the 1st full calendar year I've gone without a drink since I was like 16. It's also not a coincidence that this was the best year I've ever had. There is freedom to be had my friend, you are worth the work and you are worth forgiveness, especially from yourself. Love ya
Also
LOST IN IKEA hit a million streams today and feels pretty darn good. Can't believe a song I wrote has been listened to a MILLION times. What a crazy day
All my fellow ADHD homies
Y'all ever get those fits of rage when you get so frustrated with a task that you can can't figure out that your whole body tenses up and you just start screaming and you feel like punching yourself in the face (and sometimes do)?
Made it home 🏡 can't believe we finished the gauntlet. 23.3k miles since July (the circumference of the earth is 24.9k miles lol) and played some of the best shows ever with some of our best friends. More than anything I'm so thankful for this family in
@cliffdiverOK
Its just so gas. I'm gonna be posting non-stop and i apologize I've just never had an album before! Also we got our own strain of weed (Muniz Mids) from a local dispensary so your boy is buttered toast in this picture
Going on the news tomorrow to talk about requiring vaccination or covid tests at local venues in Tulsa. I'm really excited for the death threats I'll probably receive from it
Something I've learned on this run
Always hang out at merch after your set. That's how you build a fanbase and make the coolest new friends. Don't big league the People who want to support you
TW
As the survivor of a brutal sexual assault that destroyed my life for years I always believe the victim. Always. You don't know how having to see this shit every day fucks with people who've been through similar things so the least you can do is support those who come forward
My doctor told me in July that if I didn't take better care of myself I would probably die in my 40s. Since then I've lost nearly 30 pounds, cut back my drinking, and have been way more active. It's nice to accomplish goals
Don’t let anyone tell you dreams don’t come true! We have the absolute pleasure of opening up for
@theearlynov
on a full US this summer! I still remember the exact moment I heard ever so sweet for the first and it changed 15 year old me to the core! Can’t wait to see y’all
One thing I’m really proud about this new album is I got to play all the keys/synths on it! I’ve been playing piano since I was a little kid and to finally be able to do it on an album was a dream come true, might need to start doing it live in the not too distant future!
