By Leave a Comment

Pennsylvania’s Sound The Alarm have announced plans to release their debut full length, Stay Inside, June 12, 2007 on Geffen Records. “Suffocating” is available to stream via the band’s MySpace page

Now in their late teens, the band who formed at the age of 12 in Bangor, PA were still in high school when discovered by producer Howard Benson (My Chemical Romance, The All-American Rejects, Head Automatica, Fly Leaf) and recorded under his direction. The result, “Stay Inside”, is an album that’s as unique as it is engaging. The first single “Suffocating” can be described as an amalgam of modern rock, pop, and punk.

June Set To Enter Studio

By Leave a Comment

June are about to record their new CD, Make It Blur. You can read the press release below.

Chicagoâ┚¬Ã¢”ž¢s highly acclaimed power-pop band June will soon enter the studio to record the follow-up to the smashing debut, If You Speak Any Faster. The sophomore release, to be called Make It Blur, will be produced by Marc McClusky (Hit The Lights, Scenes from a Movie, Powerspace).
Ԛ 
Itâ┚¬Ã¢”ž¢s been a non-stop road trip for June since If You Speak Any Faster was released almost two years ago. In that time, they have shared bills with the likes of 30 Seconds to Mars, The Academy is, The Format, Motion City Soundtrack, Anberlin, Bayside, Hawthorne Heights, Emery and The Juliana Theoryâ┚¬Ã¢â‚¬not to mention a spot on the 2006 Warped Tour.
Ԛ 
With around 50,000 debut albums sold and all that touring experience under their belts, June enters the studio with a specific focus, ironically named Make It Blur. Drummer Mark Sutor said of the album title: “The idea was that like everything else in life, as you’re growing up certain things become clearer to you, things begin to make more sense as time moves on.Ԛ  How you grow in life, relationships, and your surroundings… you begin to understand why things happen.Ԛ  We wanted to find a unique way of putting that across for the new record.Ԛ  All of the songs are a reflection of this idea that really means a lot to us. The record is a cohesive effort rather than just 12 tracks on a record.”
Ԛ 
One track has already been given an exclusive sneak premiere. The song, â┚¬Ã…”Sight For Sore Eyes,â┚¬? can only be heard on Victory Recordsâ┚¬Ã¢”ž¢ state-of-the-art media player, VictorStream. It can be accessed for free at www.victoryrecords.com/victorstream.
Ԛ 
The band expects to finish recording in May, with a summer release in the works.
