Is this going to be a live from the studios thing again like they did with Death by Stereo? That “show” was fun.

Hahaha I love that Jake is DEEP in the promo hat game. First it was Starz now DraftKings. Somebody send this guy a Vice hat or something

Based on his recently missing hardware, he’s going to be spending lots of time on that site after his “want to come check out my home studio?” pickup line doesn’t work.

Slow drip album releases are for the birds. I don’t understand why this trend continues or what bands are trying to accomplish by releasing new music this way.

Maybe the vinyl supply chain has something to do with it? Band finishes album, wants to share with fans but it’s > 6 months before the vinyl can be pressed? Even then, sometimes a band releases the album digitally before the vinyl is done, a la BTBAM.

Good point

I agree with you though. Releasing more than one new single before the album release is unnecessary IMO. If you have to spend all that time to keep the energy going, just release the fucking thing.

UM had to look far and wide for a pressing plant for the vinyl. Looks like the copies are now rolling out.
