I got my stitches stitched, I got my fixes fixed,
In my aching head, I got my kisses slit.

The COSMICtour was started in order to bring bands together in a bit of healthy competition. It was meant to bring lovers of music together and present an offer of extreme opportunity to the winning band. Jamie Taylor had in mind a tour that was meant to help bands realize the importance of sticking together against ALL odds. But that wasn't all the tour did... the purpose was lost...

Our gossip lips stuttered every word I said, I said,
I got your love letters, corrected the grammar and sent them back.
It's true romance is dead, I shot it in the chest then in the head.

Instead of coming together as healthy competition and lovers of music... each of these bands came to win. They would do anything to anyone in order to get first place. Now for a history lesson... this all started because of two bands. Toxic Rush and Frozen Oblivion were two bands that pretty much ruled America. The bands fought and fought for number one until it finally escelated to the point that the fights were starting within the bands. Eventually... there was a split. All but a few stopped music for good.

Jamie Taylor was one of the ones that loved his music too much to quit. He started the COSMICtour in order to search for bands that aspire to be the number one band in America. Little did he know that his idea would drive music to a whole new competitive level.

And if you wanna go down in history then I'm your prince,
Because they've got me in a bad way I've never seen a heart I couldn't break.

Things are getting tense on the set of the COSMICtour. Starting in Los Angeles, the tour will move through large cities throughout the country. Numerous performances will decide which band wins which cities. Chicago is the ending point where the winning band will be decided. These bands will have to show their stuff and try to impress people all over. But when a band will stop at nothing... how can anyone win?

The competition has flared beyone belief causing bands that would normally get along to fight. This is a place where no one plays fair and everyone is the enemy. This battle roayle of bands has almost gotten out of control and Jamie Taylor has thought about shutting down the tour for good. But he has one year... one more year to prove that the tour can make it.

It was never about the songs, it was competition.
Make the biggest scene, make the biggest...

Can these bands pull through and make it out with their band in tact? Or will the pressure and competition be too much for them to handle? No matter what happens... no matter who wins or who loses... there will be one question that these young people ask themselves forever...

Which came first the Music or the Misery?
