All Time Low studio update

Comments Off on All Time Low studio update

Here’s some recent news by Jack of All Time Low about their upcoming album:

Greetings!
?Tis Jack Barakt writing you from my humble abode here at SOMD studios in Beltsville, MD. I wanted to fill everyone in on the latest shindigs going down in the studio!

This winter, we demoed a bunch of songs for our upcoming record with one of our producers, Paul. We spent a good time listening to these demos in order to decide which songs we wanted to keep and what songs had parts we just wanted to keep. With all this, prepro has been very exciting! For those of you who aren?t down with the studio lingo, ?prepro? is a shortened form of the word Preproduction. This is the stage in which the bands and their producer (or in our case, producerS), sit and work out their songs and arrangements. We are at the helm of Mr. Matt Squire and Mr. Paul Leavitt in constructing, destructing, dissecting, bisecting, and rebuilding songs. For instance, many of you guys have already heard our songs ?Let it Roll? and ?Dear Maria. What you guys heard were the songs at their very first stage and now that we are in the studio, we have reworked some parts and we think they are golden. Prepro is probably one of the funnest parts of recording because its where you actually see the songs come together. We?ve also written a buttload of songs in here too, so its going peachy.

Other than that, we?ve bought a handful of groceries to keep our bellies full, Zack got the new bowflex for his abdominal exercises, and I?ve rediscovered my long lost love for the game Zelda. BYEAH!

We also played with the All American Rejects last night ? they are sweet dudes. We played some bball with them and totally owned them, old school. If you have any pictures from last night, post it in our blog too!

That is all. Leave us comments about the first time you saw/heard us!
Jack

PS ? I have a new found love. There is a new vitamin water flavor named after yours truly, called Jackfruit. Rejoice!

ARTIST OF THE DAY
Alucard

Hometown: Sterling Heights, MI
Genre: Rock, Punk
Sounds like: From First To Last, Senses Fail
Current Album: After Dark
Myspace: myspace.com/alucardrock
Official Site: alucardrock.com

Here’s a hometown favorite that’s quickly become known. My buddy let me borrow a copy of this CD and I was quickly impressed. Alucard’s music is progressively punk and driven with rock. Impressive riffs and catch hooks easily get you singing along. It’s always cool to see local bands grow and I enjoy supporting guys like Alucard. I think they deserve more recognition and that’s why I’m recommending them to you today. So click on the album above and order it. Trust me, its worth it. Favorite tracks include Resignation Song and Summer’s Coming. Listen up!

MUSIC VIDEO OF THE DAY: Valencia The Space Between

In 2002 police were investigating how tracks from the forthcoming Oasis album ‘Heathen Chemistry’ had been illegally circulated on the Internet. They thought the person responsible had access to their private recording sessions.

It’s start, stop and go you’ve been dying for, you’ve been dying for.

ARTIST OF THE DAY
My Darling Murder

Hometown: Phoenix, AZ
Genre: Hard Rock, Metal
Sounds like: Bullet For My Valentine, Breaking Benjamin, Chevelle
Current Album: My Darling Murder
Myspace: myspace.com/mydarlingmurder
Official Site: mydarlingmurder.com

It’s a sad thing to hear when a band that is just starting ends too soon. In my opinion, this is how I feel with My Darling Murder. They self-titled debut album was strong, powerful, and well, together. I was very impressed when I first heard these guys and very upset to hear that they couldn’t stay together. They still have a few songs up on their myspace and you should definitely go take a listen.
