Bracket working on new album

One of my favorite pop-punk bands, Bracket are currently working on a new album. Here’s what they had to say,

“We’ve stopped and started the process of this newest album a few times, thanks to various “distractions” like having wives, babies, and day jobs. And since Requiem, we refuse to pay anyone else to record/produce our album, so having time and space to do it ourselves has been a challenge. The studio that we built, where we recorded Requiem had to be torn down a few years ago due to zoning violations and we’re still depressed about that. But in the last few months we have finally dusted off the recording equipment and set it up in Marty’s living room (of all places). We’re lucky Marty’s wife is so nice and doesn’t mind us turning their living room into a “studio.” It’s kind of funny because this big mixing board, set of speakers, computer, and racks of effects processors are within inches of his couch and tv, and the kitchen is only a few steps away. So far we’ve done more eating than recording, but things are looking better for the few Bracket fans that remain patiently waiting.

Anyway…We’re getting much closer to actually recording. Everything is set up and there a bunch of songs that are pretty ready to go that we’re really excited about. The recording process, because of our “lives” that we try to have on the side, will take a while for sure. Our drummer still lives in Denver (and we’re in Northern California), so we’ll record everything we can and then fly him out at some point to record drums. Pretty much the same process as when we did Requiem. As for the sound of this “record” (that has yet to be recorded) we plan on going as crazy as we did on Requiem, but even more so. The songs are still heavy and loud, but we plan on doing lots of fun vocal stuff and weird studio things. So…it will take a while, but we want to make sure it’s something that will make us just as (or more) proud as Requiem. We have no record label and no one to hopefully impress, other than people who still care about our music. Our facebook page will be updated as we move along in the recording process.”

Bracket latest album was 2005’s “Requiem.”
