in my opinion, the initial stages of writing a new album is frustrating.. I mean, it's not difficult writing songs and rehashing the same grooves and rhythms over and over again, but writing songs that show maturity and reinvention is hard and mentally challenging.

For the past ten weeks we have been relentlessly writing song after song, sifting through countless riffs trying to capture the essence that makes up Nothingface. So far, seven songs have made the list and we still have over a month left to finish writing. For the record I have to say " This album is gonna be incredible!" Though I have to admit, when you throw yourself into your music every waking hour of your life, it can burn you out a little. I can't even begin to tell you the countless number of restless hours I've spent in my basement recording songs into my tiny piece of shit boom-box. Don't ask me why I don't own a four track recorder. The reality of it is, I'm just too lazy to go out and buy one.

So with over a month left to write and our songs continually getting better and better, we have no doubt that this will be our finest effort yet. Now we have to get used to the idea of working with a producer. We've always produced our own music and the thought of working with someone whose sole job is quality control of your music is scary. Hopefully, we'll get the right producer who understands our vision and can bring fresh ideas that help mold our music into something amazing. As it stands, I'm confident that our songs are great, but the idea of someone helping enhance our sound is exciting and welcomed.

So, that's all I have to say for now. The next time you hear from me we'll be just getting ready to enter the studio. I'll have info on who will be producing the record, and even some more song titles. All in all, this is gonna be a great record, and i can't wait to get back out on tour and take these songs live.

Till next time.....see ya!!! T
