Release Date set for Speak-ahh!
January 31, 2011
At long last the release for Speak-ahh is set. Eastern Conference Champions are returning with their first full album of new material in four years. Speak-ahh will be released on April 26th on RockHampton Records.
Josh explains why it took four years to finish their second album: “We knew this was going be a very important record for us when we started demoing and collecting songs. Every record and EP we released up until this point was truly a stepping-stone to this record. We wanted Speak-ahh to hit on every level. For the most part the band has adapted itself to getting things on their first or second takes whilst recording. I cant for the life of me tell you why this is our darkest record to date, it’s not something we planned, we didn’t even realize it until we looked at what we had finished.”
Recorded in downtown Los Angeles, The ten-track album is a departure from the sound of their debut album. “After we recorded Ameritown with Owen Morris, we had a hell of a time pulling off some of the songs live, it just got away from us in the studio,” Josh reflected. “Since we began recording on our own, we always go into recording a song with a ‘are we gonna be able to pull this off live’ mentality. We never put two guitars down when one will do the job. We prefer the bones of it to an orchestra. We love the rawness.”
Tour dates to support the release will be announced shortly.
Thanks!
