FULL LENGTH CD - RELEASE DATE!!!
FULL LENGTH CD - RELEASE DATE!!!
So it’s finally finished!!!! I know we’ve been promising this cd for wayyy too long and we always sounded like the boy who cried wolf….But this time it’s for real! we had a bunch of speed bumps along the way with recording it, mixing it, and just finding the time to complete it…We started recording this cd back in January of last year and it’s been a crazy year trying to complete it! We weren’t 100% satisfied with the production and mixes that we were given when we got back from our Valencia tour. So in the little time I had between the Valencia & Metro Station tour, I knew we had to take it back to where it all started….my basement… I basically locked myself in my home studio for 2 weeks so I could tweak production & mix all 12 songs myself…. It was super hectic but very rewarding in the end…. Now, not only do we have an album that we are extremely proud of, but we have a cd that contains music that we had 100% creative control on. On that note, I can’t forget to mention that Sam actually took some matters into his own hands and designed all the artwork on the cd himself!!!! He busted his ass in the back of the van on the metro tour to get that done!! We’re so exited and can’t wait for you all to hear it and see it! This album sums up our whole band up until now. There are a lot of memories on this cd…. There's a shout out to when me and Sam were in our first band together called Something To Say. Track 7 is a shout out to our friends bands back in high school that we used to play shows with every weekend. A big chunk of the album came out of random stupid fruity loop demos on Alex’s computer that we never planned on becoming real songs on a real cd…To me that’s the beauty of this record. We didn’t hold back at all. We wanted to do something that sounded new and fresh and didn’t care if people were gonna like it or not!! We used a ton of vintage electro drums, retro keyboard sounds, synths, & bells. We used a bunch of vintage guitars to get a sound on this record that might have been forgotten….We were so overwhelmed with a lot of albums sounding the same these days with the same wall of distortion guitars, the same big rock drums, the same live bass….don’t get me wrong, we all love that stuff too but we just wanted to do something different this time around!! And we did!! We made sure every song had its own elements and vibe. We catered to each song as an individual instead of just recording the same sounds, same instruments & drums to each song on the album. Anyways, I’ll stop rambling. You’ll see for yourself. The name of the album is called “Take It To The Floor” and here’s the track listing:
