Mother Nature seems to take hold during the latter parts of September - and 2009 is no exception. "I'm looking out the window right now from Downtown (Toronto) and the rain doesn't seem to let up," says singer/guitarist Shane Horizon during a cellphone conference call with band manager Ty D'Angelo and this author. "I always seem to reflect on the year that has been around now, between the time the rain and the snow begins to fall. I think I've always been that way, even when I was going to school. I enjoyed the beginning of the school year with all the new friends and new classes. But I would have this yucky feeling when the weather started turning into sh*t!"

Anyone keeping an eye on the boys of Skyjumper to re-emerge won't have to wait for long! There have been recent sightings of singer/guitarist Shane Horizon and drummer Spike Love having dinner in downtown Toronto, discussing the next stages of the powerful indie rock group.
The band's manager, the eclectic Ty D'Angelo recalls, "I received a phone call on my cell in the middle of the night this week from some guy on the "scene" asking me if Skyjumper are returning to the live scene soon, and when? I wouldn't give him any info because I hadn't spoken to either of them in a few weeks. There had been some things which were being dealt with which I knew about, but as manager, I'm not about to run my mouth out to anyone until all the facts are out. Unfortunately, I'm not abliged to say anything at this time either, but when everything comes out in the wash, I'll be back at my desk downtown and busily on my phone. Until then, I would ask everyone to just "chill out." I can say one thing, I'm not surprised Love and Horizon were spotted in a restaurant. We all need to eat afterall."

There have been rumours going around that the boys of Skyjumper have put the music down as of late to deal with some personal issues. That just might be true.
"It was a long time coming," says singer/guitarist Shane Horizon. "It took a few instances and close calls for the whole Detox thing to get through, but it's now starting to pay off." The frontman knew he had to come face to face with his drugs and alcohol issues eventually, and realized that the time was now.
"Although I've made the decision now, I know it's going to be a long journey, with sobriety beginning and ending each and every day. I thought I was alone, but I've met some really great people and I feel everyone is on my team. I know I cannot get all those blurred-out nights back, but I can now start to enjoy the many days and nights remembering rather than forgetting."
