Paper + Plastick Records have signed Ohio progressive (post-hardcore?) outfit Reverse The Curse. The band will be releasing their debut full-length album “Hither & Yon” with the label on July 12, 2011.
“This record was given a lot of time writing wise,” says vocalist/guitarist Ed Starcher. “We all really grew as musicians, and as songwriters. I learned how to play piano, and there is a lot of fender rhodes on the record because of that. Hither & Yon is a whole record. We are not at all the same people we were then. We changed a lot and our songs have changed more. There is a lot of singing on the record, not just aggressive yelling. This is the most proud of anything I’ve ever done.” “A lot of loved ones and friends passed away during the writing of the album,” admits Starcher. “his album lyrically means a lot to me.” Understandably many of the songs on Hither & Yon touch on topics of losing love and finding ways to deal with it, while “To Dig A Hole” is one of the more positive songs on the record, with Starcher adding it’s about “finding something you love and being happy to sacrifice for it.”
To give you a taste of what the band has to offer, they are giving away free downloads of their two song EP right here.
