Hear Hellogoodbye and Hunter deBlanc show their groovy side

Maria Serra — Tue, 08 Dec 2020 22:00:48 +0000

Hunter deBlanc may be on your radar for his alternative covers deeming him the “Pop-Punk Piano Man.” From Yellowcard to Senses Fail, he’s covered it all. In fact, he even performed a punk rendition of Billy Joel‘s iconic “Piano Man” at Emo Nite in 2019.

Inspired by mid-2000s pop and punk, he covered Drive-Thru Records‘ most famous musicians in a video series. Now, with these artists in mind, deBlanc is ready to burst onto the scene with original songs. He teamed up with label alumnus and Hellogoodbye frontman Forrest Kline to deliver the follow-up to “That’s Not Me” with his new single “Do What Feels Right.”

Here’s how 3OH!3 grew as artists after ‘WANT’ for their comeback

Alex Darus — Tue, 24 Nov 2020 01:55:26 +0000

2020 has been a whirlwind of a year, full of things we couldn’t anticipate in our wildest dreams. One of those was the triumphant return of 3OH!3.

The duo from Boulder, Colorado, made up of Nathaniel Motte and Sean Foreman, have been a staple in the scene since they started making music in the early 2000s, releasing their first self-titled album in 2007.

You’ve just announced this new era, and you decided to turn to the past with a teaser video. Why did you think it was important to take your fans back through your journey as a band to kick off this new album?

NATHANIEL MOTTE: I think we really overtly, consciously and subconsciously, got back into the groove of how we started doing stuff back in the days when we were making music just from a sense of fun and energy and inclusiveness and rock and party.

And you made the album in Boulder during the pandemic, which had to be pretty interesting. Were you quarantining together, or how long were you together during that period of time while you were making music?

SEAN FOREMAN: It was a little back and forth. It was interesting because we were literally like a mile away from each other. But we were observing the safety precautions of being apart, especially when it first happened. Now I feel like musicians adapt really fast, and everyone’s doing these Zoom writing sessions and Zoom performances, but early on, it was like, “This is pretty new.” I think you can get in your head when you’re writing, especially a band like us that’ve been around for so long. You’re like, “What do people expect? What if all these things happen?” But when we’re just trying to do something over Zoom, we just throw a lot of that to the wind. And we’re just like, “Let’s just have fun. Let’s open a couple of drinks and enjoy ourselves.” But at the end of the day, we got in and did a lot of the fine-tuning together after we knew that we could be safe.

Yeah. And what was your day to day like when you were in the midst of recording? How was that different than in albums past?

MOTTE: Well, I think we work a lot more efficiently now, at least on my side of things. I remember recording WANT in 2008, and we would go 16 hours straight, easily, every day. And it was a lot of work. We did that record in four or five weeks. I just think you learn to hone your craft a little bit as a songwriter, as a producer, especially after doing it for a long time. And I think six hours in the studio can represent what 16 did when we were first starting.

Once we started getting together, it was about definitely refining things, retracting vocals, hashing out the ideas that we had but then also just having fun. Like, that’s how it all started for us just when we were in college. We were two dudes just fucking around, having fun in our basement, making music and spinning records and making beats. And that was very much the vibe on this thing, again, because we were back in my basement.

Your fans haven’t heard new music from you in four years. What should they expect from your point of view with the new record?

FOREMAN: It’s just exciting to put new music out. I can’t really anticipate. I feel like even putting the teasers out there, seeing our fans, they’re so supportive and excited. People are like, “Oh, you’re going to save our 2020?” I’m like, “Oh, that’s a heavy burden to try to save your 2020.” But, you know, that’s what the beauty is of putting out music in these times especially. But the new music’s fun. It’s very 3OH!3 in the sense that it hasn’t been done by us. I think that when you hear it, it fits into something that you’d hear on WANT. It would be like the WANT lost track, but it’s like a modernized version of what we do with that.

In 2020, cancel culture is such a prevalent thing. Going back, some of your songs have been considered controversial. Did you have any fears coming back into 2020 with that being thrown in your face or people bringing that up?

FOREMAN: Yeah, of course. We’re pretty sensitive people in what we look at in our culture and stuff. And we’re a product of our environment, too. We’re different musicians now, and we’ve made changes in the sense of our music. And I think it will show. The times have changed, and we’ve changed, too, as artists. So I think that is representative in our new music.

Do you think those songs that might not be considered politically correct should still be played at events such as Emo Nite in 2020?

MOTTE: Those [songs] are a time and a place, and we don’t regret any of our songs or writing anything that we did. I think obviously the times have changed. If people who are going to Emo Nite want to listen to those songs, if people want to listen to whatever they want to listen to, more power to them.

Can you walk me through a little bit of the inspiration for “LONELY MACHINES” and how you decided to make that the first single after all this time?

MOTTE: Earlier this year, we just got together, and it’d been a long time since we really had the time or the right mindset to get back to writing for 3OH!3. Sean and I have worked extensively on writing and producing for other artists. And I think therein we wanted to do something that captured some of the energy of our old songs and then took it to a new place, a place where we hadn’t been before.

FOREMAN: Lyrically, there are some touchstones on it that are just fun. They’re like callbacks. It’s funny: When we wrote it, or at least started it, it wasn’t quite quarantine. And I didn’t think of the aspect of lonely machines and all this stuff [applying]. It was while we weren’t in these isolated parts. But I think it speaks even truer now. It felt really natural to get 100 gecs involved. They are really awesome and super creative. And I think it really spoke to the song of how we just like to collaborate. It was back and forth online. But, again, just like effortless collaboration, even though we weren’t in person. And then eventually, we actually met them in person [while] shooting the music video for it.

MOTTE: I think I definitely took out a lot of my energy on that music video shoot. I was exhausted for three days afterward because we’re not used to doing that as we usually are when we’re touring because our shows are all about energy. But I think our shows are less performances and they’re more just parties that we happen to be curating and MCing, so we try to make sure we have that energy every time. And I think that’s one thing, subconsciously, that we’re doing during the video is trying to bring that energy so if and when people watch it, they can feel a sense of that.

I was going to ask about the video because it feels like a 2020 fever dream or nightmare. What was the idea behind it, and what was it like shooting a music video for the first time in four years and during the pandemic?

FOREMAN: Nat and I have been careful about and supporting the safety that’s revolved around COVID and protecting other people. We haven’t booked sessions or anything like that. So when a video came around, we’re like, “How do we do this and make sure everyone that’s involved is safe?” So everyone got tested before we even went in there, and we made sure that everyone was in masks unless we were shooting and distanced. We worked with this director named Weston Allen. He’s an amazing director. Like you said, fever dream is probably a good expression of some of the videos that he made. I think especially with this song, it didn’t speak to having this narrative component to it. And we really leaned into his creative vision. A lot of the scenarios [in the video] were exactly what we thrive on, which is just being in a room, dressed up ridiculous with a prop and just saying like, “All right, let’s just figure out what we’re doing here.” It’s borderline improvisational. It’s like controlled chaos.

MOTTE: For like eight hours it was amazing because we just got to shed everything, got to be back in our element of performance and collaboration and fun and energy. My little 2-year-old niece has been watching it on repeat. So I don’t know if it’s good or bad.

That’s pretty funny. Also, the new album seems to take a lot of inspiration from various genres, but you tend to get labeled electropop or crunkcore. How would you label the upcoming record?

MOTTE: We’ve always struggled deeply with that, and I think maybe that’s it’s a chicken and the egg with us. It’s like, do we struggle because of that, or is it overt? We’ve let people call our music what they want to call it. To be honest, I think our music is a weird hybrid. I think a lot of things are directly influenced by all the music that we grew up listening to, inherited from our parents, which is everything from ’60s British invasion rock to old blues and folk and bluegrass and jazz and classical.

And then when we came into our own, that was when electronic [and hip-hop] music was really starting to prevail. When we first made our first of 3OH!3 stuff, we wanted to make music that incorporated specifically those electronic elements and those hip-hop elements that make it edgy, make it different and then try to combine all that into something that was catchy and fun and energetic. And so I guess whatever that’s called, we’re happy with it.

FOREMAN: So what genre do you think?

MOTTE: Oh, it’s crunkcore, for sure. Happy hop.

With that, you answered another question I was going to ask. How do you approach writing songs for yourself? How is it different from when you go into a work session to write songs for another artist?

FOREMAN: You try to be safe a lot when you work with other artists or when you’re writing a song to pitch the artist because if you write very intimately from an experience, it might be harder to get across. But I also think what makes pop music, or any music great, is when something feels like it comes from a real place for someone or you take a chance. So I’ve been trying to dissolve that a little bit. I think when I go in and work with other artists, it’s like if I’m not the one coming from the heart with different things, I want to be there to get that from them, if that makes sense. I want to be that ear and this sit-in therapist that’s just like, “Let’s go there. Let’s figure out what you really want to write.”

What does it mean for you to come full circle and release another album with Photo Finish now that you are back with them?

MOTTE: We hate those guys, man.

FOREMAN: We were contractually obliged to do it. They forced us.

It‘s fun to look back on. Back in the day, we had zero idea of what it meant. It was like a success to be signed. You’re like, “Oh, my God, you’re going to be signed and all these things.”

MOTTE: I didn’t know what a single meant. We were in the studio, and they’re like, “Oh, maybe this for your second single off WANT.” And I was like, “I thought that was just like a cheaper version of the CD.”

FOREMAN: We didn’t know charts. We didn’t know anything. It’s full circle in the sense that it’s fun, again, to work, even on the business end. And that’s hard to find because sometimes you just want to focus on the music and throw the business away, but we’re so in tune with how we run things, too, so it’s like we’ve got a great partnership with them.

And obviously, it feels weird to ask during this time when there’s so much uncertainty, but what do you hope is in your future, both with 3OH!3 and as musicians who do a lot of work for other artists?

MOTTE: I mean, hope for the future. There’s a lot of things that need to go. But just concentrating on 3OH!3, we hope we can get out there and tour again soon. That’s really integral to what we do. I think [for] our first live set we were opening for a local hip-hop act in Boulder, and we had like three songs, and they’re like, “You got 30 minutes to fill,” so we were like, “All right, we better write seven more songs in the next three days,” and we did.

FOREMAN: Yeah, Nat’s actually [the one where] you can see all the equipment behind him. He’s trying to develop a vaccine in the past couple of months. Well, you know, I don’t know if we’re going to release that one to the public.

The last question I have is, what is the most important thing you want fans to know about the new music that you have coming out?

MOTTE: Sean and I have gotten a lot of work done.

FOREMAN: I got all my face tattoos covered up.

MOTTE: We got our face tattoos removed. I think it’s maybe a bit of the ostrich thing. We just had our heads down, like grinding so much that I haven’t really thought about the big macro question.

FOREMAN: I think they’re going to probably tell us what is important.

MOTTE: I don’t know if maybe that’s actually symptomatic of us as 3OH!3. We usually just keep focused on the work and put it out. It’s reflected by the fact [that] we don’t know or don’t really care too much what genre of music people call it as long as they’re listening.

Which song should you listen to under the blue moon based on your zodiac sign?

Cassie Whitt — Thu, 15 Oct 2020 15:55:11 +0000

It’s probably not as fancy as you think. We’ve heard people cheering about the “blue full moon on Halloween” for a while now, and it sounds very exciting. But we need to get a couple of things straight first: The blue moon isn’t actually blue. It’s simply what the full moon is called when it happens twice within one month. Still, it’s something of a rarity. Though we often see Halloween depictions of bats silhouetted against a full moon, the most wonderful day of the spooky szn is illuminated by a full moon only once every 19 years!

It may not light up the sky in a ghastly blue this Halloween, but that certainly doesn’t make this moon any less special. After all, the more energy and focus the collective puts toward a beacon of power such as the moon, the more powerful it becomes. Believe and respect it for its uniqueness and find that place in your life that needs focus and change and let the blue moon do its work.

Aries (March 21 – April 19)

Song: “Phoning It In” by Gerard Way
Why it fits you: Hey, Aries. Chill out for a second. The blue moon in Taurus is reminding you to do a little less right now. Recently, you may have made some irrational decisions or were a bit irresponsible with funds. It’s OK to put on your pajamas and watch horror movies. Remember you don’t have to go full force 24/7 to live a successful and happy life. Order pizza, sit back and recenter yourself. Listen to fellow Aries Gerard Way singing about phoning it in while you do so.

Taurus (April 20 – May 20)

Song: “Somebody Told Me” cover by Motionless In White
Why it fits you: Oh, this one is going to be fun for you! This is your moon, after all, and it wants you to go all out and have a ball. Be both open and introspective. Laugh with others (at a distance) and learn more about yourself. Your vibe is going to be electric, mysterious and playful. Just be careful to avoid negative confrontations—your feelings of joy and self-expression could easily turn to self-loathing. Listen to Motionless In White’s cover of the Killers, dress up in your fanciest costume and run free!

Gemini (May 21 – June 20)

Song: “Lowkey As Hell” by Waterparks
Why it fits you: Hey, busy body! It’s been a hot minute since you’ve stopped to focus on yourself. The blue moon will be a driving force of introspection, allowing you to delve deeper and to truly be honest with yourself about who you are, where you’re going and what you truly want from your life. To make the most of this, however, the grounded Taurean moon will not only want you to figure this out but also use its power and influence to make a change if you find you need it. Waterparks’ “Lowkey As Hell” is the spiritual successor to “Watch What Happens Next” from FANDOM and takes stock of benefits and whether they’re worth it. You may find yourself thinking, “Is this worth it?”

Cancer (June 21 – July 22)

Song: “You Know What They Do to Guys Like Us in Prison” by My Chemical Romance
Why it fits you: Cancer, you may just feel like partying this Halloween. (We all wish we could, really.) While we can’t suggest you do that in public with crowds, a Zoom party or safely distanced hangout with your closest friends is just what you need right now to feel connected and to reenergize you for the rest of the year. So, hang out to the extent quarantine will allow and listen to the My Chemical Romance classic “You Know What They Do To Guys Like Us In Prison” while you do it to get fully hyped and appreciate your ride-or-dies.

Leo (July 23 – Aug. 22)

Song: “A New Day’s Coming” by Frank Iero And The Future Violents
Why it fits you: The blue moon is bringing Leo the unexpected! In a good way! As the moon shines down on you on Halloween, take a second to congratulate yourself on everything you’ve accomplished and are continuing to accomplish. Such work ethic and drive could be leading you to new opportunities. Be aware of your surroundings and don’t let potential opportunities pass you by. Celebrate yourself and your future by listening to “A New Day’s Coming” by Frank Iero And The Future Violents.

Virgo (Aug. 23 – Sept. 22)

Song: “The Sights” by Enter Shikari
Why it fits you: The blue moon will have you craving excitement and perhaps feeling a little impulsive. Luckily, Enter Shikari have the perfect song for this mood with “The Sights.” Gaze at the full moon, turn it up and pretend that you’re flying far away from the mundane and the familiar. It may not be a complete escape, but this track on repeat can create a nice illusion!

Libra (Sept. 23 – Oct. 22)

Song: “Destroy Me” by Salem
Why it fits you: Keeping people at an arm’s distance is not only what you like to do naturally but also what we have to do while social distancing. However, you may find yourself longing to forge deeper, more intimate connections under this full moon. You’ll also find yourself exploring the darker side of yourself during this time. We say, keep it fun and appropriate to the holiday while you vibe to Will Gould of Creeper’s new project Salem with the adorable, spooky romance romp “Destroy Me.”

Scorpio (Oct. 23 – Nov. 21)

Song: “True Believers” by the Bouncing Souls
Why it fits you: First off: We hope you’ve been enjoying Scorpio season and are absolutely thriving. Because this moon falls within you-time, its power is going to hit you particularly hard, especially in regards to connections with others. Take time to hang out with the people who mean the most to you. This is also a fantastic time to let go of connections that no longer serve you and open up to the people you love and who love you the most. The Bouncing Souls have endless odes to lasting friendships, but perhaps the best one to celebrate your friends with is “True Believers.”

Sagittarius (Nov. 22 – Dec. 21)

Song: “Hazy Youth” by Trementina
Why it fits you: Be selfish. The blue moon will be particularly powerful for you if you take the day entirely to yourself and forget your cares for a while. Meditation or a luxurious bath is likely to bring you extreme clarity and offer you novel ideas during this time. Really indulge yourself, whether with Halloween candy or by staying in a skeleton onesie all day. This is your day, so just go with the flow. We highly recommend some eyes-closed chilling while listening to shoegaze. May we suggest “Hazy Youth” by Trementina?

Capricorn (Dec. 22 – Jan. 19)

Song: “The Middle” by Jimmy Eat World
Why it fits you: OK, we know this is a hard one for you, but the blue moon is going to beckon you to let loose, Capricorn. Work can wait for at least one day while you play. Obligations be damned: Have fun this Halloween and listen to a true scene classic that always goes the fuck off at emo nights. Have a dance party in your living room, sing your lungs out to “The Middle” by Jimmy Eat World and remember: “Everything/Everything will be just fine!”

Aquarius (Jan. 20 – Feb. 18)

Song: “Garden” by Meet Me @ The Altar
Why it fits you: Aquarius, we know everyone’s always telling you to come down from the clouds, but this time we’d like you to ground yourself for a good reason and with good people. Sometimes, it takes connecting with the people who love you the most to refocus on your current path. We suggest hanging out with your best friends, especially those who have been there with you through the hardest times, like the friendship described in Meet Me @ The Altar’s pure pop-punk “Garden.”

Pisces (Feb. 19 – March 20)

Song: “Witch Wave” by the Haxans
Why it fits you: Something about the progression of the moon’s fullness throughout the night is calling to your nocturnal soul, making you want to keep up with it and celebrate both the moon and the holiday. Though you may not be able to go out, the party spirit will be awakened within you all night. Any track from the Haxans’ 2017 full-length Party Monsters will do, but Ash Costello and Matt Montgomery’s “Witch Wave” in particular is perfect for sating your desire to dance under the Halloween moon.

Here’s how Frank Zummo knew he had to work with dying in designer

Wed, 16 Sep 2020 20:00:07 +0000

We know you’re more than familiar with the seemingly bionic arms of drummer Frank Zummo. He’s been the engine room for bands as diverse as Street Drum Corps, theSTART, Mötley Crüe, Dead By Sunrise and Sum 41, making both their shows and records slam and swing. But now you’re going to hear Zummo in a whole new context. Today Alternative Press is premiering “E.O.T.E.,” the first single from his impending EP, It’s My War. Guest vocalist dying in designer articulates Zummo’s fighting spirit in the most positive of ways.

“This project was inspired by me literally doing all these Emo Nites and drum workshops to inspire kids,” Zummo says about his impetus. “I’m playing these big Emo Nite festivals and shows, just playing DJ mixes. And I’m like, ‘This is so fun. It’s working so well. It’s connecting the vibe with the audience. I’m not even playing my own music.’ It just inspired me to come out of my comfort zone and do something that was going to really push me.”

The Fall Of Troy are back with their first new piece of music in four years. On Friday, the Washington-based band released their new single “We Are The Future.”

The single is off of the band’s forthcoming album Mukiltearth which arrives Aug. 8.

You’ve just announced this new era, and you decided to turn to the past with a teaser video. Why did you think it was important to take your fans back through your journey as a band to kick off this new album?

And you made the album in Boulder during the pandemic, which had to be pretty interesting. Were you quarantining together, or how long were you together during that period of time while you were making music?

Yeah. And what was your day to day like when you were in the midst of recording? How was that different than in albums past?

Your fans haven’t heard new music from you in four years. What should they expect from your point of view with the new record?

In 2020, cancel culture is such a prevalent thing. Going back, some of your songs have been considered controversial. Did you have any fears coming back into 2020 with that being thrown in your face or people bringing that up?

Do you think those songs that might not be considered politically correct should still be played at events such as Emo Nite in 2020?

Can you walk me through a little bit of the inspiration for “LONELY MACHINES” and how you decided to make that the first single after all this time?

I was going to ask about the video because it feels like a 2020 fever dream or nightmare. What was the idea behind it, and what was it like shooting a music video for the first time in four years and during the pandemic?

That’s pretty funny. Also, the new album seems to take a lot of inspiration from various genres, but you tend to get labeled electropop or crunkcore. How would you label the upcoming record?

With that, you answered another question I was going to ask. How do you approach writing songs for yourself? How is it different from when you go into a work session to write songs for another artist?

What does it mean for you to come full circle and release another album with Photo Finish now that you are back with them?

And obviously, it feels weird to ask during this time when there’s so much uncertainty, but what do you hope is in your future, both with 3OH!3 and as musicians who do a lot of work for other artists?

The last question I have is, what is the most important thing you want fans to know about the new music that you have coming out?

Which song should you listen to under the blue moon based on your zodiac sign?

How long has It’s My War been in the making?

One of the things immediately apparent is that it’s a drummer’s record, but it’s not a drumming record. These are fully realized songs with production. As opposed to “Frank Zummo’s sickest fills” or wild digital noise with ripping kick drums and paradiddles all over them.

It’s My War has a diverse group of vocalists, from Landon Tewers to dying in designer to the Underclassmen. What were you looking for in singers?

What is “Edge Of The Earth” about?

Now I know why you chose the title you did. It makes your intention crystal clear.

And it’s coming out in the pandemic. It takes a lot of determination and dedication to see a project through right now.

Did you give the vocalists direction? Or was it, “OK, what are you going to sing about?” You obviously had control over everything, but you did want collaboration. How did that work?

What are you conveying in the video?

A lot of people pay lip service about being positive. You’re really living it through both your life and your art. In a very disconcerting time in history.
