Hello VAH fans/friends,
I just wanted to update you guys a little bit on the progress of our new music. Like we stated in the previous blog, we're recording 3 brand new songs with producer Rob Freeman(Hit The Lights/Cobra Starship) on November 9th,10th,11th,12th and will be releasing a 4th acoustic song as well.
We have two of the three songs down pat and have been practicing and playing them for quite some time, their titles are "DTF?!" and "Little Fingers"....I'll explain more about them in a minute. The third song we are in the process of writing and is so new that we don't even know how it will end up exactly.
As far as the style of the songs, "DTF?!" will show the more fun/poppier side of our band's personality, and with a title like that...you can only imagine what the lyrics are like (if you don't know what DTF means, you should rent SUPERBAD). "Little Fingers" has more of a dancey/groove oriented feel, experimenting with synth noises and sampled drum sounds (in addition to real drums). And the third song, although not complete, is by far one of the heaviest songs we've worked on together since RUN LIKE HELL, it's going to definitely surprise anyone who thinks we have lost the edgey side of our music. The acoustic song is called "Knight" and was only performed once live at an acoustic show at an FYE in-store we did. You can find a video on youtube of that if you look hard enough.
I made Steve Kellner bring a camera to practice today, so we're going to try to get some footage together ASAP. but I figured in the mean time I'd post this blog letting everyone know what they can expect from this new release. We still plan on having the songs out sometime around XMAS and will probably be re-releasing Run Like Hell on itunes around the same. More on that to come.
Thanks for reading.
-Clark and VAH
