It was reported earlier today that MTV Canada would release a video of 30 Seconds To Mars announcing their break up. The video is available now here and I don’t hear the band say anything about breaking up. They sound tired, they look tired, and I wouldn’t be surprised the band took a break or even went on hiatus.
What are your thoughts? It feels like the interview was taken in the wrong direction. The interviewer won’t stop asking about the rumors of this being their last album, and the band didn’t want to give an answer. Is this a ploy for MTV to get some traffic to their website? 30 Seconds To Mars will officially announce their plans on their own terms so don’t believe anything until you see it officially from them.
Eve 6, who recently signed to Fearless Records, will be entering the studio in June with legendary producer Don Gilmore (Pearl Jam, Dashboard Confessional, Good Charlotte, The All-American Rejects). The band will be recording their long-awaited fourth studio album. Gilmore’s previous work includes production on Linkin Park’s 10 x platinum-seling album Hybrid Theory and 5 x platinum-selling release Meteora. Gilmore also produced EVE 6’s platinum-selling self-titled debut album.
“Starting in the first couple weeks of June, we’ll be descending into the dungeon (AKA studio) to record album #4 with Don Gilmore, our producer on the first two album,” notes the band. “Don is a svengali/genius type of guy, and is a great match for our style and sensibility in the studio. We have a special bond with him, and are excited to get in the trenches and become comrades in musical arms once again. It’s been great having all this time to refine the material; we feel this will be song for song our strongest album to date.” Read more of the band’s statement on their website.
After a brief disbandment in which the members pursued various other projects, Eve 6 reformed in early 2008, and spent much of the following two years on the road reconnecting with the fan base and playing to crowds wildly enthusiastic about their return. The band signed to Fearless Records early May 2011, and is excited to work on new material. “This will be a great home for us,” notes the band. “They’re super pumped about this record and the new songs and are just as anxious to get it recorded and released as we are.”
