Album Notes

We believe the formula is "let it rip, besides, life's to short to play songs that suck". Just make it simple. That's what we had in mind when we started this project. We had a bunch of new songs, some made it on this CD, but, there were a whole bunch that didn't. We picked the ones that we knew were "built in" tunes that we could just whip out at any gig without a question, In fact, when we started playing some of the songs on this CD at gigs, folks were signing along with us, so we knew we had something .Now, the decision to go in and record a real studio album, where everyone plays the parts pretty much separately was new. We recorded our first CD, "Above the Waterline" basically live and it was real comfortable, but, we felt we owed it to our audience to work with a real producer who would help us with developing our sound one step at a time. We had approached a few studios and eventually settled in with Dan McLoughlin in Hoboken, NJ (Weezer, Dinosaur Jr., Breeders, etc.) who helped us tremendously in opening up the songs beyond our imagination. The songs on this CD just play themselves like a story while we watched the magic evolve in the studio over about 2 weeks.. Thanks alone cannot express the support which Dan provided in both his guidance and playing on this CD. Thanks to the fans from across the planet that have purchased our material online or at a show, or just showed up to watch us perform. Tell us your stories- themcpband@hotmail.com.
