Catch up with us on:
When the tour to support the first album wound down at the end of 2009 and after we knocked out the Acoustic EP early 2010 it was time to turn our attention to the second album. We began rehearsals in March of 2010 and the actual recording of the album began a couple of months later in June. Little did we know that it would turn into quite a process, taking 15 months to finish!
Most of the songs had been around quite a while but once we started recording all sorts of new ideas kept cropping up which led to whole new parts in some songs which kept the recording process quite lively. And speaking of live, the other reason it took us so long is that this time we decided to keep gigging at the same time (we may think twice about doing that again but we’ll see…)
In a nutshell this record is the second in a set of three albums we are currently doing and it kicks off directly where number one faded out. In keeping with the theme of First Act, Second Act starts and ends with an instrumental and in this case they couldn’t be more different, ‘Intro II’ being a mellow opener to ‘Interlude II’ being a rock fest with obligatory AT Band middle break down part. Also in keeping with the theme, song 7 ‘Left Wanting’ is a little more on the soft side (it’s even got some piano in it) but for the most part it’s a bit of a riff-fest from start to finish.
We’ve thrown a few samples to the right for you to get a feel for the album … if you like what you’re hearing head to the big shiny buttons up top and click away!
Yours in rock and roll (with a little acoustic thrown in),
AT Band
