Hey guys, RCA Ed here, how's the summer treating you?

Seems like there's been some dissatisfaction amongst the Daughtry Official diehards over a number of topics as of late, culminating in this here thread, so I wanted to take this opportunity to address some of them...including:

- lack of updates from RCA
- missing tour dates
- lack of airplay for What About Now and The Past
- we are evil
- what's become of RCA Karen?

So let's go...
Lack of updates from RCA

If you think things have been a little quiet in the Daughtry camp since the Bon Jovi tour that's because it has been! Plain and simple: the boys finally took a short break after almost two years of non-stop touring, in order to start working on the next Daughtry album, so there simply wasn't all that much activity to report. But that's about to change, so read on...

Missing tour dates
