Album Notes

It is with a great deal of pleasure that New York City's Josh Dion Band are ready to present 'Anthems For the Long Distance'. The full-length studio album is the culmination of several years of regional and international touring, during which time they developed a unique sound, which can be best described as powerful roots-rock. The music you will hear on 'Anthems..' is the result of 5 days of hard work in the trenches. The goal was to make this album sound as 'organic' and real as possible. All basic tracks were recorded live in a Brooklyn studio. Lead singers Josh Dion and Sarah Versprille then sang together in the same room. Daniel Hindman's guitar solos were complete takes with no punches. Overdubs were limited to only the necessary. Also noteworthy is that 'Anthems..' is a completely independent effort. After 3+ years of existence and the assistance of many along the way in their career, this JDB album is brought to you solely by the five longtime friends and members' efficient business model which they call 'the office'. This means that no record labels, producers or 'big whigs' were responsible for the final result of this recording. 'Anthems for the Long Distance' is what the Josh Dion Band sound like when they step on stage and pour their hearts out to an audience. They sincerely hope you enjoy.
