In January 2022 it was revealed that the band had gotten back together with the original She Watched the Sky line-up, minus Kyle Simmons. The current band's line up is: Jordan Blake (lead vocals), Nick Miller (guitar), Joey Wilson (guitar), Brian White (bass & backup vocals), and Cory La Quay (drums).
However, on February 16, 2022, a new song, Dead Serious, was released by former vocalist Michael "Jag" Jagmin under the A Skylit Drive name, thus creating two separate versions of the band. One being the original lineup, and the other led by Jag.
Michael "Jag" Jagmin filed a lawsuit against the original members of the band for infringement on the name on March 15, 2022, and on April 3, 2022 Jagmin announced two new members joining him and Jon Kintz in his ASD lineup: drummer Casey "KC" Marotta and guitarist/vocalist Louie Caycoya.
On April 23, 2022, the original lineup announced that moving forward, they would preform as "ASD" for the foreseeable future, with Jag's lineup holding the rights to the "A Skylit Drive" name.
on May 1st, 2023, original ASD vocalist Jordan Blake would pass away
This Isn't the End
A Skylit Drive Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Seconds away from a life with endless
Torment my mind with the thoughts of a beginning
To show you just what I feel
To decipher what is real
There's just so much to be said
So much is running through my head
Maybe now can we pretend?
For a second I felt so brave
Flowing through fault lines
Wearin on my mind
Weathering
Pulsating
Technicalities set you off the stage and when you see me now and then
There will be no exchange of hands
Scratch the plans
There's just so much to be said
So much is running through my head
In a time staggered on the end
Maybe now can we pretend?
This isn't the end
There's just so much to be said
So much is running through my head
In a time staggered on the end
Maybe now can we pretend?

Hey guys! I hope you all liked this video. I'm the first person holding the sign. These stories are from real people and the words on our boards were our own. This was a special video to make and the band, TWLOHA and the director (Starbuck) were all amazing to work with and made everyone feel amazing. Together, we can stop the bleeding!!!

I don't think these guys realize how powerful their music is and how much it speaks to people and makes them smile or take a step back and realize they have something to fight for. Something to live for. Six years later and I still love this song and it's message. Thank you ASD you are truly amazing <3
