![]() ![]() We took the beats out and changed it for real drums, put some piano in there, some nice guitar, and it’s turned into, in my opinion, the best track on the album.īut it’s just mad how much that song changed from its demo period to the finished period. It was just “verse, verse, verse, verse, verse…” and Dan, like the god he is, saw the potential in it. So there was no like structure to it or anything. It was like a minute of just the same thing over and over again, and I like dissected it into four or five verses, but with four or five completely different melodies to each verse. And then after that, we’ll sit down in the studio, track everything, and then we’ll keep going back and back and back through the songs until we get them little nitpicky bits right, the annoying bits that just annoy you. With this album, we did the drums first, I believe, and then we did them at Marshall Studios. So it can be quite stressful, man, but at the same time, we also get other songwriters in to help with melodies and stuff like that because it’s more brains thinking different things, so different melodies will come out. We’ll pick which ones we want to work with, but not all of them will be used because we could take something out of one demo that fits into another song if you know where I’m going from. So normally, you probably have three or four finished demos, like full-length demos, and the rest will be like half demos. I’ll take that and be like, right, okay, that’s fine because I trust his ear a lot more than I trust my own because of the reputation he has. Sometimes Dan will be like, “Ah, that’s not good enough.” – even if I think it’s the best one, Dan will be like, that’s not good enough. We need to speak to other people that are outside the band to get someone else’s point of view. ![]() The whole reason for being in the band is to show other people that musicians are just as vulnerable as everyone else, and for them to notice what I’m singing and for them to feel and hear the genuinity in music is the most important thing for me.ĭerek Oswald/Altwire: Given that you have that perfectionist mentality, what is the process when you’re recording a song and the process that you and the other guys go through to decide what song makes it and what gets scrapped? What do you guys do to decide what song will make the record? There’s no point in writing songs that mean nothing to you. The worst part of being in a band is doing something that requires you to spend hours and hours and hours doing little minute things to barely change anything.īut it just shows how much you care. But then you have to think, well, I’ve got to sing it live also. I have that problem a lot with writing melodies and doing this and doing that to make it better. You just got to know when the right point is to put your hands down and go, right, this is where it needs to be. You could always keep going, adding, deleting, and taking stuff away. It’s like when you’re recording a song a song is never finished. That’s what I like to tell people when it comes to releasing music because if it doesn’t go very well, then you expect it not to go amazing. So I hope for the best and expect the worst. You know what I mean? I already worry about everything anyway. Matt Flood/Caskets: I try not to expect anything when it comes to releasing music, just so I don’t put any added pressure on myself.
