Hi everyone! Sorry for the lack of site updates. We've been quite busy. There are a couple new songs in the works and we've been working to polish the old ones for the CD. We're scheduled to record at the end of the month and CDs should be available by the end of April.
I have also been messing around with homemade recordings, and today we were able to slap together this. It really came out pretty awesome, and I think we'll be submitting it to Fenway as a demo tape.
We recorded the track in an abandoned room off of the teacher's lounge at school. I spent my free period hanging curtains to deaden the room, and I think it really paid off. You'll hear only 100% artificial reverb in these cuts! We also did our first multi-track recording that we were able to master later rather than a "live" studio recording. That way I can make parts quieter or louder later if they back off or pounce on the mics.
Keep in mind while you're listening that I have not done anything to the track except change the volume and add reverb. There is no pitch correction! We really sounded that good! This is a preview of more things to come. Eventually, we'll have a whole CD that sounds this good!
Also, the Dadz Iron Horse concert has turned into the Northamptones Iron Horse concert featuring the Dadz! We'll have another group opening and then we'll split the remaining time with the Dadz instead of only opening for them. If all goes well, that'll be our CD release concert too!
Ok, enough!
