In The Studio: Spring 2023

Posted on by

2023 has been booked wall-to-wall at Bang-A-Song. Spring is the season of change, so if you’ve been in the studio, you know there is change afoot here, too.  But one thing remains the same: we’ve got new releases to tell you about that knock us out.

John Jerome: Sunday Morning Sunrise

You’ve been waiting for another full length from The Island Cowboy since his self-titled LP came out, and he’s been teasing you with singles (I’m On My Way to Somewhere, It’s Only A Day) but May 11th, 2023 is not only a day, it’s Sunday Morning Sunrise release day, so listen up, now! (Spotify)

Joshua English: Outlaw Adjacent

Josh English’s fifth full length release (recorded at Bang A Song back in December) is called ‘Outlaw Adjacent’ and two singles have hit the street in advance of the full release date on June 2nd: Great Like Ghosts and Mr. Right Now.  If you’re impatient for more, Josh will be in our neighborhood with Attempt Survivors at O’Briens next Saturday night 5/20 (Allston).  I can confirm that on my Spotify rotation, Josh IS Mr. Right Now.

Chelsea Berry: My Heart

When your single has a “Foundation Joy” version, you know it’s got…heart. And Chelsea Berry has heart…all day. Her new single ‘My Heart’ is out on all platforms now, and you can give a listen on BandCamp right now.

George Hall & Friends: You Kill Me

George Hall knows when to deliver the garage rock single for just the right moment, and here it is: You Kill Me.  Recorded at Bang A Song and accompanied by a killer/hilarious video, check it out.  George does not have idle hands.

Benji: How To Move

You only need one single when your single is this propulsive.

Telamor: Monthly Singles Series

Who’s putting out more music than Telamor?  The answer is…no one. Sometimes they double up and put two singles out each month.   Not only is Telamor ready for Friday Crazy Night, they’ve got enough music to keep you bopping for ANOTHER Friday Crazy Night. Check out the latest below:

Let’s give it up for Q1 2021! It’s been rocking here at Bang-A-Song since the New Year rolled over, so look what everyone’s been up to:

In The Studio

Here Comes The Regulars: Tom Hauck (as Telamor) and Jon Butcher both keep productive and regular at Bang-A-Song. In House Talent: Neighbors of the studio John Jerome (as The Island Cowboy) and U-Ey at the Buoy have been tracking, mixing, and momentum-ing. Getting Close: Bob Wolfman is nearing the finish line. Getting Started: Alex Coleman is getting a new project underway. Right On Time: Allen Estes, The Dazies, George Hall, Brendan Kinetik and Mexican Ape Lord are all mid-stride and keeping us on our toes. Mixing It Up: Adam Taylor was in mixing Matt Jatkola (as JATK). Edu-ma-cation: Sam and Tony did some Gloucester Public School Remote Academy sessions for Grades K-2 and also Grades 3-5 to make sure the kids are allright. THEY ARE!

New Releases


                      

Surnames: Live From The Bang-A-Song (LP on Spotify, on Bandcamp). First of all, great album name. But seriously, we don’t have many occasions to record live albums with a live audience in the studio, but by golly, it’s a thrill when we do! These songs are fully formed and the band sounds like they’ve been playing them this tightly forever. So catchy and groovy, too.

Wood & Bone: Rising Smoke EP (on Spotify, also Bandcamp). Good music from good friends. Makes me mad there’s only three songs. There’s always REPEAT.

JATK: When Tomorrow Comes (Maxi Single on Spotify, on Bandcamp). Since the day I sat in my office next door while this was being mixed, I’ve had these opening riffs stuck in my head.

Matt Rhodes: Where the Sorrow Sirens Sing (LP on Bandcamp). I’ve been running ‘Takin’ The High Road’ on my regular rotation since it came out as a single, and it’s unsurprising that the full length album is lush, beautiful and timely. Go to there.

And lastly, our most prolific and productive artist is Telamor who has released HALF A DOZEN singles since our last blog post, and is prepping even more as we speak. From a full length acoustic album, to a Neil Young cover, to a birthday dance mix, Telamor has you covered.
