During a recent appearance on the “Behind The Vinyl” podcast, Josh Rand (Stone Sour) revealed that he is working on a new project. The guitarist is currently auditioning singers for the band and is hoping to make an announcement later this year.
Rand said the following:
“As of right now, I have 12 songs musically done. Right now I’m looking at vocalists — different vocalists.”
“It definitely is different than what I think most people would expect. I decided if I was gonna do anything that I wanted it not to sound like STONE SOUR ’cause it’s going to, to some degree. So, a lot of it, half of these songs… I started playing — I shouldn’t say I started playing piano. I know how to edit a mini-piano, so I’m a great piano player now… But a lot of ’em are piano-based, and I’m running with it like that. And I’ve also started incorporating all these different instruments — all kinds of crazy percussion and stuff. ‘Cause I just wanted to have fun and be creative and not try to write the next ’30/30-150’ or have that pressure of trying to do that. So I’m just kind of running with it, and that’s where I’m at.”
“I’m off to a great start, I feel like, and so does the management and the label; everybody’s really liking the music. But till we actually put a voice on it… I’m looking at [various singers] right now — basically, they’re auditioning — and then we’ll go from there.”
