Wolfmother – Dimension

This track starts off exactly how it finishes. Sharp, simple guitar work. The sound is very raw and almost has a live feel to it. Very Black Sabbath esque vocally and musically, this is something hard to get away from throughout the track. It is a confident effort but sounds unfinished almost and their influences are clearly worn on their sleeves. This fails to inspire the imagination, nothing more can be said about it, which shows how simple it is and comparable to past influences it

Magnet – Hold On

Magnet is more or less the brainchild of Evan Johanson who hails from Norway . He finally returns with the first taste of his new album. His last single was a Bob Dylan cover, and it was a duet with Gemma Hayes. I know some might find it hard to believe but it was a stunning rendition of that track. Ever since I first heard that, I have been after Magnet material. “Hold On” starts with a simple banjo part, one of the most under used instruments. The track then builds into a sweet little pop song. Evan’s voice is a bit filling, and strong and really fills out the song. For something a little bit different Magnet, offers a very nice fix.

Jenny Lewis With The Watson Twins – You Are What You Love

Rilo Kiley and I never clicked; their music just did nothing for me. So I was skeptical going into a new single from the bands singer Jenny Lewis. But pulling herself away from that band has done wonders for her. The third single off her solo debut is a charming little tune. It is an instantly catchy tune that tells the tale of how crazy romantic happenings can be. The song has an overall country/folk twang to it, which harkens back to 50 years ago. This is a pleasant and refreshing song that will be pleasing for the summer months.

Patty Hurst Shifter – Too Crowded On The Losing End

These guys are cool. There is something very Rock n Roll about this record.

The Early Years

For those unfamiliar with your music, can you tell us a little bit about yourselves? Give us a bit of background, so we can get a picture of who you are.

The Early Years started life as a single guitar playing heavily delayed and drone effects, largely improvised. Then we introduced a few repetitive riffs, then a monotonous driving backbeat. We then thought we’d better write some songs, so we threw that into the mix as well.

How has the public been responding to your music on your recent tours?
We’ve had a pretty decent response so far. People usually come up and say how much they enjoyed it after most shows. Every gig is a step up from the last, hopefully we’ll keep going in that direction

How do you write songs? Any special techniques?

It usually starts with relentless jamming in our rehearsal room, recording everything we do. Then plough through hours and hours of recordings and pick out the best elements. We’ll work on one or two of those ideas till we’re happy that a bonafide tune is there. This takes anywhere between a day and a month, depends. Sometimes one of us will come in with a written song which we give our sound treatment to. A lot of music we write that ends on the cutting room floor, we’re quite brutal in that regard.

How would you explain your sound to someone who has not yet to heard you?

Soundscapes, drones and feedback over metronomic beats, with a few songs thrown in for good measure.

Tell us a bit about your new single “All Ones And Zeroes”?
We found a riff that Roger did amongst our recordings, and we jammed it out with Phil’s metronomic beat. The vocals came much later, which we tried to keep fairly minimal. We demoed it first of all in the cheapest studio we could find. I stuck it into the post to Radio 1 and Xfm and forgot all about it. Then they played it. Then played it again. And again. We couldn’t believe it, and on the back of that we were offered to do sessions at Maida Vale and XFM. Beggars Banquet came along with a deal, so we re-recorded it at the Contino Rooms with Tim Holmes (Death in Vegas). We think the result is pretty good. The 11 minute 3rd track was a great meeting of minds between Tim Holmes and The Early Years, written and recorded in the studio in one day.

Who did the cover art for that release?

Our friend Dan took the pictures. The cover only came together at the very last minute, after we coaxed our friend Jonny out of the pub to do a funhouse-style collage for the back. He can’t remember doing it!

Have you finished work on a record?

We’re getting there – we’ve got so many ideas coming through at the moment we’re trying to finalise the stuff we are going to use. If we put all our ideas onto one record we would end up with a piece of music that would go on for hours, so we are really trying to pick out the best pieces that sit together well.
We’ve got a good few tunes ready for the record, and there’s some great songs ready. Our sound is developing all the time, so we’re going back to put some more stuff down next month. We should have a decent stockpile of songs ready soon, then we’ll begin compiling the album. This might be the only album we ever make, so we’re making a great record, not just a good one.

Who are you guys listening to right now? Are you listening to new stuff as well as old stuff?

We all listen to quite different stuff. Roger’s really into this unsigned band called Somebody’s Mind – kind of totally on their own tip and really enjoying The Brian Jonestown Massacre, Phil is listing to a lot of Stars of the Lid, and Salvatore. Dave listens to stuff like Spectrum, The Boredoms and Harmonia. Quite a mixed bag which seems to come together somehow in our muisic.

What would be your greatest fear?

To leave this earth before getting the album finished.

What can we expect to find you doing in 2006?

2006 will be the year we start touring in ernest, where we expand our sonic capabilities, and release our debut album. Getting our sounds out to as many ears as possible.

Kids In Tracksuits

How did you get involved in making music?

matt: from listening to music all the time from an early age. we were making music on our own for a few years before we put anything together as kids in tracksuits, although we had been meaning to do it for ages. When we finaly made something together we were really happy with it, so we just took it from there.

andy: neither of us can rap, so making the music seemed the logical thing to do. i couldnt afford two turntables to begin with so i had one and just messed about with that and got into turntablism, we’d always swap tapes of stuff we’d both randomly done at school, just seemed like a good idea for a dj and producer to join forces. strength in numbers and all that!

How do you write songs? Any special techniques?

matt: our tracks are usualy started or finished in a different way everytime, so its hard to pin down any special techniques. the best way we find to work is to do it as instinctively as possible, to not worry too much about how its going to end up and just work on it until we are happy with it.

andy: i agree, it does change everytime. theres no set routine or anything, we dont aim for a song to sound a specific way really, alot of ideas can sound good in your head but then dont really work when you actually start putting them down. so not planning anything is pretty much our only technique…

Tell us a bit about the new single “Get Your Kit On”?

matt: its our first proper release which will be available as a limited edition 7”. Basically three tracks which work as a nice little introduction to what we do. It also sets us up nicely for what will come next.

andy: yep, our first official venture.a taster of the sorts of things you can expect from KiT. coming out in march through dealmaker records.

“We Make It Rock” has been a constant in my rotation. What was the inspiration behind that track?

matt: i can hear a bit of rick rubin production in there somewhere maybe, run dmc and some trashy electro type shit all thrown together. never really thought about it at the time though, it was always meant to be just a simple party rocker, a tune you don’t have to think about too much, something that just hits you quickly and then ends.

andy: yeh a party joint definitely, head turning stuff, something recognizable that’s going to stand out and get your attention straight away, big sounding…like our version of ’simon says’ if you like.

I have heard your work on the radio quiet a few times and played it myself. Does it still surprise you to hear your work?

matt: yeah it still comes as a big shock to hear it, i think it probably always will. i still find it funny even hearing another person say ‘kids in tracksuits’ out loud.

andy: yeh definatley, its bizzarre, hearing tunes we’ve just cooked up in our bedrooms on national radio,very strange.

How would you explain Kids In Tracksuits to someone who has yet to hear you?

matt: i see all our stuff as hip hop, it will always be the foundation of we do although we enjoy going off on tangents most of the time, so it usualy ends up sounding quite far removed from straight up hip hop. Id say its a mix of everything we think sounds ill but with a raw hip hop feel all the way through.

andy: if the kid with the gadgets from the goonies were to start a one man band i rekcon he’d sound like us!? if thats abit far fetched for you then think along the lines of some cut chemist,dj shadow, RJD2 type stuff… but abit more british.

Do you play out live? If so how have the response been?

matt: yeah we play out quite a bit localy. the response is usualy different every time. we’ve had some nice responses from audiences who usualy tend to be into more guitar based music which has been kind of suprising since we always thought it would mainly appeal to hip hop heads.

andy: yeh the gigs we’ve done either supporting people or showcasing ourselves always seem to get a good response from varied crowds of people. although people can tend to think we’re just dj’ing some of the time because we’re not rhyming or holding an instrument like most live acts would… as long as their feeling the music though i dont suppose that matters too much.

What are some of the artists that have inspired you?

matt: we started k.i.t with a shared love of wu tang, j5, gangstarr and dilated peoples, hip hop like that. listening to those while we were at school was always our common ground so i think they are the artists which have inspired us the most with our music. we listen to a lot of different styles on our own which have been big inspirations too, personaly aphex twin has always been a massive one for me.

andy: like matt says pretty much any good hiphop new or old… ugly duckling, mr lif, edan, a tribe called quest, cage, big daddy kane… to name afew. lots of more cut related stuff too for me like kid koala, the x-ecutioners, skratch piklz, fingathing, mr dibbs….

Who are you listening to right now?

matt: bob james, yesterday’s new quintet, planet-mu records.

andy: ive got ‘kool g rap – 4,5,6′ on here.

What would be your greatest fear?

matt: losing my hearing would be awful, no more music.

andy: music-wise, yeh going deaf wouldnt be much fun at all, loosing an arm/arms would be pretty bad too,i’d have to learn to scratch with my feet or something!

What can we expect to find you doing in 2006?

matt: hopefully playing gigs in places we havent played before and releasing some more music. either way we’ll be busy making loads of it all year.

andy: good question, getting our sounds to new people/places for sure. and just keeping on doing our thing making new stuff, maybe working with some mc’s too, any dope mc’s give us a shout!

The Pigeon Detectives

How did you come up with the name for the band?

Some random Australian bloke called us it at the Leeds Festival. He was overwhelmed by Matt’s knowledge of racing pigeons.

How did you get involved in making music?

Matt: I was working behind a bar when Dave and Oliver came in one day and asked me if I wanted to join a band. – I said yes.
Dave: Me and Oliver decided to be in a band when we were 14, before we even knew how to play an instrument. I think it was The Beatles that started everything off.
Ryan: Once me, Matt, Dave & Oliver got together we jammed, and starting to write some songs but without a drummer, at the time I worked with Jimmi and knew he was a drummer and asked if he’d like to come and jam with us. Then we asked if he’d like to join and he did.
Jimmi: I started up when I went to high school, got the chance to take Instrumental lessons & have been playing/making music since.

How do you write songs? Any special techniques?

Oliver: I just sort of hear them in my head, then work out how to play them on acoustic guitar and usually write a few lyrics just so i’ve got something to sing. There’s no special techniques that i’m aware of. I can’t write on demand either which can be frustrating. Once i’ve got the basic idea of a song then play it to everyone else and they all add their own parts and we work out the arrangements and stuff.

Tell us a bit about your new single ‘I’m Not Sorry’?

Matt: It’s shit hot and you can jump around to it.
Jimmi: It’s well lethal
Dave: It’s kind of a dance floor favourite locally.
Oliver: We were trying to do a Bloc Party style song with call and response between the guitars but we didn’t really get it right and it ended up as something completely different.
Ryan: It’s out 13th March!!

How did you hook up with Dance To The Radio label?

We knew Whiskas from playing around Leeds and supporting Forward Russia. Matt asked him if he’d put us on the next DTTR compilation and he told us if we got a better demo then he would…
Anyway, we never had enough money to record a better demo but he’d seen us a few times and knew that we were good and hard working so offered to pay for us to record a track on the compilation. After he’d heard the results he asked us if we wanted to record a single for DTTR.

I have heard your work on the radio quiet a few times and played it myself. Does it still surprise you to hear your work?

Not really surprising, but it’s kind of strange to hear someone like Steve Lamacq talking about us on Radio 1 and playing our song. We’ve only heard ourselves on radio twice so it’s not become a run of the mill type thing for us yet. It’s still really exciting to hear us get played.

How would you explain The Pigeon Detectives to someone who has yet to hear you?

Matt: Fun, chaotic, lots of energy with good songs that people sing along and dance to.
Oliver: Kind of post punk New York sound. Like a mixture of Television, Blondie, Interpol and The Strokes but also with more melodic influences like Oasis, The Beatles, Blur, The Kinks etc…

Any crazy stories from the road?

Jimmi & Matt were a bit tipsy from a gig in Manchester & got pissed off at a house party so then decided we were gonna drive back to Leeds but luckily the Car park was closed when we got there. On the way to the car Jimmi needed to use the loo so went into a brothel and asked if he could use theirs, they said no. Nothing too ‘crazy’ in mind at the moment.

Who are you listening to right now?

Dave: I have been listening to Radiohead (The Bends), Love (Forever Changes) and Dylan (Blood on the Tracks) – What an amazing album that is.
Matt: The Libertines, The Smiths and The Pigeon Detectives.
Oliver: Modern Lovers, The Strokes, The Specials, loads of 50’s stuff like Little Richard, Del Shannon, Buddy Holly and I can’t stop listening to ‘Tears of a Clown’ by Smokey Robinson.
Jimmi: iFoward Russia!, Chuck Berry, The Editors, Arcade Fire, The Kinks & Kanye.
Ryan: I’m into Editors, Interpol & The Strokes new album (First impressions of earth) at the moment.

What are some of the artists that have inspired you?

Matt: The Beatles, Oasis and The Libertines.
Dave: The Beatles, The Smiths and The Strokes.
Oliver: The Beatles, The Kinks, Television, Joy Division, Interpol, Blondie, loads more but I can’t think right now.
Jimmi: Erm…The Beatles, Blondie, The White Stripes, Interpol, The Strokes, Prodigy, The Smiths, The Clash, Beach Boys, The Kinks, Elvis, The Buzzcocks & some tasteful hip-hop; NWA comes to mind.
Ryan: The Beatles (I learnt to play the guitar to Beatles songs) David Bowie, loads of sixties/seventies bands. I really like the styles of recent bands like Kings Of Leon & The Strokes

What would be your greatest fear?

Matt: The band not making it and having to work a 9-5 job for the rest of my life.
Dave: Someone forcing me to eat an egg sandwich.
Oliver: Everyone thinking we were shit.
Jimmi: Any female breaking wind near me & me hearing it. Please don’t do it girls your meant to be all girly & that.
Ryan: Dying!!

What can we expect to find you doing in 2006?

Ryan: More singles/album, a headline tour, Festivals & having fun.
Matt: If all goes to plan, touring the country, playing festivals and recording an album. Maybe the odd bit of recreational drug taking here and there.
Dave: Travelling around having the time of my life with my 4 best mates.
Oliver: Hopefully releasing another single or two and perhaps working on our debut album and playing lots of gigs all over the country.
Jimmi: Definitely aiming to record an album & do some touring; that’d be grand.

We Are Scientists – Great Escape

This is the second single released from the threesome, and where

Daydream Nation

How did Daydream Nation come to be?

Daydream Nation was basically what came out of a year of writing and recording songs on the dole, back in 2003. I’d had enough of working shitty jobs, and figured I’d rather be making music then working. I basically locked myself in my recording studio, and just wrote as much music as I could come up with. I kept writing up until the a month or two before the government was going to throw me off the dole, and then picked the songs that would make the first Daydream Nation record, and mixed them up.

After I found Elephant Stone Records to put it out, I got a call from Hunter, who was a friend of Ben Vendetta’s, who owns Elephant Stone, and he asked if I wanted to work with him on the next Daydream Nation record. So I spent the summer of ‘04 writing what was to become Bella Vendetta, and then packed my bags for Los Angeles, and set about making another record. After working with Hunter, I knew he’d be a good fit to work with, and then Daydream Nation became a duo.

How, if it did at all, did your home and surroundings influence your music?

Well I never really listened to any Canadian music per say, if anything I think most of its complete shit, especially Metric and that lot. Seriously how the fuck can anyone like that music? My record collection pretty much consists of loads of British bands. And a lot of older stuff, I’m a big fan of a lot of old 60’s bands etc.

What bands influenced Daydream Nation, and what drew you to the type of music you play?

The biggest bands were probably the creation records lot, bands like Swervedriver Ride MBV, JMC those guys actually pointed me towards the music I wanted to make, Although i guess there is probably a lot more that probably influenced me somehow somewhere down the line, I’ve been obsessed with music for as long as I can remember, so its hard for me to dissect my writing influences.

What are your current favorite bands?

Honestly I cant really think of any, not to sound completely down on music, but there is so much shitty music out there right now, that’s its made me lose my appetite to seek out new bands. I still just listen to the golden oldies Swervedriver, the Stones, Bowie, Beatles, Etc. But I’m still optimistic that the haircut synth music will die a much deserved death, the way hair metal went out, and cool music will rise again.

How do you think your previous bands influenced Daydream Nation’s music?

Well, I didn’t really play in any real bands before Daydream Nation, Hunter was in the Warlocks, and the Brian Jonestown Massacre, you’d have to ask him about that, although we’ve been lucky enough to have people check us out, because of his association with the Brian Jonestown Massacre, although we don’t really have anything in common with that lot.

What were the early days of Daydream Nation like?

Dole checks, cigarettes, and lots of fun and creativity.

You’ve been described as a cross between Sonic Youth, My Bloody Valentine, The Jesus and Mary Chain, and lots more. How would you describe your own music?

I don’t know, I’ll leave people to draw their own conclusions. Its just rock’n’roll to my ears.

How are songs written for Daydream Nation? Is it the work of one member, or more group composure?

I pretty much write all the music, and arrangements. And Hunter plays drums and handles the production elements of the music. Although sometimes we get help from friends etc, if it works it works that’s my attitude, I’m not a control freak about our stuff.

What’s more important for you in a song? The lyrics or the instrumentals?

I think both, especially with the new stuff that I’m working on, my lyrics are starting to be less generalized and more direct and reflective of my life, not to say they weren’t before, those lyrics mean a lot to me, but on the last 2 albums I was all about the melodies and the music rather than the words, they were always last on the agenda. I think you need both elements to be deeply personal, or you never really experience catharsis with the music. Besides there is nothing more beautiful than throwing yourself completely into a song, and letting it all out, and not being afraid of saying what you really want to say.

Which do you like more? Playing live or recording?

Well since we haven’t played a show, id say recording. The thing is Daydream Nation music has a lot of shit going on in it, this music would be very hard to pull of live, without 5 guitar players and an orchestra, at certain points. But having said that, I would love to do it live, and connect with our fans on that level, I really really want to do that, it would be so cool. I’m just waiting for someone to kick us the dough to be able to do it right, cause I refuse to compromise the music, if that means we never play live than so be it, although I hope that’s not the case down the road.

In general, which way (live or recording) do you feel is the best for listening to music?

That’s a great question, both a certain times, I mean a really great live show, can blow your fucking head off, cant it? I saw Richard Ascroft awhile ago with my girlfriend, and it was so amazing. That show totally moved me, and his energy was fantastic and so personal you know? On the other hand I’ve had a set of headphones glued to my head since I was 13 years old, sometimes just walking down the street, listening to music can pop your lid, so I guess both have their place you know? Music is just such a personal experience, I really think the experience is unique to everybody.

How would you describe the UK music scene?

Crap, these days its just parody music you know, the UK has lost it balls in my opinion, I ask you where the fuck did all the great bands go? And the ones that are around are a joke, aside from the Doves they rule. I mean Noel Gallagher is a fucking joke now! Hey lyla………..blah blah blah. How did that guy write so much amazing music, and then go completely limp? Sad really.

The NME doesn’t help either, they have no choice but to champion every asshole in Camden, cause they have to sell their shitty ass paper, so basically rather then shutting down shop till something worth writing about comes along, they basically find some band to suck up too, and tell everybody that the music is actually good and sell loads of papers,
and funny enough people buy it!!

How would you describe your new single, “Feed Me A Kiss”?

Its got loads of guitars, swirling organs, and a nice hook. Go buy it!

What can we expect from Daydream Nation in the near future? Tours, new albums?

Well we have a new EP coming out soon enough with 5 new tunes, and I’ve just finished writing the next Daydream Nation full length which well probably start recording in the fall.

Could you describe the experience? Favorite memories and that kind of stuff?

Its been a blast, I wouldn’t change anything for a second, I love making music, no matter how stressed i get at times, it always seems worth it to me.

What hopes or goals do you have for Daydream Nation?

Make more records, hopefully tour a bit, maybe meet the Queen of England, who knows!

Can you see yourself doing this in 20, 30, 40 years?

I think ill always be involved in making music, not sure on what level, cause it takes a lot of energy when its your main gig, id like to write, and pursue other passions, I’m really into gardening these days, hahaha.

What has been your best/worst/funniest/favorite memory with Daydream Nation?

Man, I don’t know, their have been a lot of each.

Best moment- Mixing “A Passing Notion”, and knowing I had written the song I had been after my whole life

Funniest- Watching Hunter have a few nervous breakdowns mixing “Bella”, and then having a few beside him, and freaking out at the same time. That is probably my worst moment as well.

And my all time favorite moment is when Hunter and I raided that zoo one night, and stole
those penguins.

Has it all been worth it up until now?

Absolutely, I wouldn’t have it any other way, I love my songs like children, I couldn’t imagine having spent all this time doing, or worrying over anything else!

(All Questions Answered by Pat Vaz of Daydream Nation, 6-6-06)

By Michael Schmitt

Protokoll

How did you get involved in making music?

Ben: I actually didn’t start playing music till I was 17, I had “sang” in punk bands before that, but hadn’t learned how to play anything until then. When I ended up getting more into Indie I decided to learn bass, guitar, and piano and kind of all went from there.

Jose: My cousin got me into early 80’s electrofunk and gangsta rap stuff like N.W.A. And Zapp and Roger when I was really young. Eventually I started getting into metal stuff like Pantera and Metallica when I was about 12 years old. But the most inspirational moment for me was when I first heard “Nervous Breakdown” by black flag. I was completely blown away by the intensity and aggression of this music called punk rock. It is the root of all the music I have produced and written.

How is your first tour of the UK going so far?

Ben: Touring the UK was completely amazing.

Jose: Uk tour has been great. Attendance-wise, we have experienced both sides of the spectrum. We have played to packed, heaving rooms as well as giant empty halls. It’s been amazing regardless and we try to play every show likes its to a packed room.

Do you notice a difference between the audiences from the UK and US?

Ben: There is a pretty large difference between the 2, the crowds in the UK were much more responsive and just way more into us, which is really nice. Playing at Koko in front of 1500 people was completely surreal.

Jose: It seems like a lot of UK audiences are more keen to new music and are way ahead of the curve when it comes to “underground” or indie music. The radio stations here take more chances with little known acts, which is pretty great. UK audiences have the advantage of not having clearchannel ramming bullshit music down everyone’s throats for the most part.

Tell us something about the track “Moving Forward” we can’t get enough of it?

Ben: The little known fact about Moving Forward is that Jose didn’t actually sing most of it, I did, he sang on the chorus and did certain phrases or words during the verse but it was actually mostly me. Live it’s different, he has a better voice than me so I elected to stop singing, I’d rather hear him sing it and I like just playing my guitar.

Jose: This track was written around the end of 2004, and really for us signified moving towards a more guitar based approach. The earlier material was much more synth and drum machine oriented. There are several little hidden things that you can hear in the song only if you pay close attention. Just seeing if people are awake and actually listening. I’ve always liked for music to have some depth beyond just lyrics and songwriting. It’s a sonic depth.

Who are you listening to right now?

Ben: Dinosaur Jr., Sonic Youth, Pink Floyd, Ween’s “the Mollusk”, the Klaxons demo, and Ganrls Barkley

Jose: I’ve been really into this afro-beat group from detroit called Nomo. They utilize metal junk percussion along with traditional afrobeat instrumentation, and is highly danceable. I still maintain that afro-beat is some of the danciest music in the world.

What are some of the bands that have inspired you?

Ben: A lot of the bands I mentioned above (Dinosaur Jr., Sonic Youth, Pink Floyd), the Pretty Things, MBV, and Chapterhouse.. as well as a lot of folk like Bob Dylan, Willie Nelson, Vashti Bunyan, Devendra Banhart, etc.

It’s hard to pinpoint where my influence for writing actually comes from, I guess it’s just all that mixed together. A lot of the time I’ll set out trying to write a certain type of song, but it always ends up sounding like something else when it’s done, especially after I bring what I have to Jose and we start to fill it out.

Jose: As far as composition goes, I’ve found a fascination with 20th century composer Steve Reich. I love his use of simplistic minimal musical passages to make very complex harmonies and counterpoints. But I think Sonic Youth, particularly Lee Ranaldo’s guitar playing and use of effects have always been a major source of inspiration.

What is going on in the music scene in your area? Who should we be looking out for?

Ben: The Heuristic who are an amazing mathy metal band mixed with Sonic Youth.
The Bon Savants who are just straight up great guitar based, british influenced rock.Wildlife who play great psyched out stoner grunge.

Jose: What ben said

What would be your greatest fear?

Ben: Being lumped in with everything else going on right now, which I feel will change greatly once our full length is recorded and released. Our EP was recorded in early 2005 and the material written throughout 2004. I guess it feels a bit dated even though I still love those songs, but we’ve come along way since then and it does get a bit frustrating when people say the EP was ripping off bands like the Editors while our records were recorded at almost the exact same time… but such is life.

Jose: My greatest fear is losing or damaging fingers. I get really really nervous about potential finger injuries. I know a musician who actually has insurance on his hands!

Your EP is easily one of my favorites of the year. Will we see any more new
material this year?

Ben: We are actually in the process of recording a new single for
release, soon i hope. We also have 20 some songs written for the full
length which we will record as soon as possible.

Jose: We will be releasing a few more singles, but the album will not be recorded until next year.
