Number One Gun Set To Release New Album

By Leave a Comment

Number One Gun has set January 26 as the release date for their new album, To The Secrets and Knowledge, due out on Tooth & Nail Records. Read below for more info and the album art.

In 2008, Number One Gun entered uncharted territory as the band transitioned into a solo project with leader Jeff Schneeweis.  Speculation rose if this would be an end or a fresh beginning.  After two years, Number One Gun is ready to continue with the forthcoming release “To The Secrets and Knowledge,” which gives the listener a creative, talent-filled album. “I did this record for me,” shares Schneeweis.  “I wanted to push myself musically and on the production side of things. Because I feel like I accomplished what I set out to do with this album, I’m open to seeing what the listeners will walk away with. I hope it inspires something within themselves.”

We didn’t set out to do that–you can’t set out to do something like that–but it definitely feels like that’s what we’ve achieved: created the album by which we’ll be remembered,” expressed front man Havok.

Thrice Announce Release Date For New Album

By Leave a Comment

Thrice has set October 13th as the release date for their new album, Beggars. The California-based quartet recorded the 10-track set at producer and guitarist Teppei Teranishi’s New Grass Studios this spring. Check out the album art and track listing for the album below.

“I’m really excited about this record,” said vocalist/guitarist Dustin Kensrue. “Beggars is more visceral and more raw – both in the songwriting and in the overall sound. It moves with a different energy than any of our past records. It was born out of us playing together in a room, almost as a backlash to the giant headgame that was The Alchemy Index.”

Drummer Riley Breckenridge added, “”With The Alchemy Index, I think we broadened the scope of what we can do as a band, and while the writing and recording of the four EPs was a great learning experience, it was definitely an arduous, and at times, fragmented process. Beggars was a chance for us to apply the things we’d learned and push ourselves to create something more cohesive. At the root of that, was the four of us getting back in our studio, focusing on jamming song ideas out until they felt right, letting ‘happy accidents’ happen, and building on the energy of the four of us being in the same room together playing live.”
