During a recent interview with Meltdown of Detroit’s WRIF, Shinedown drummer Barry Kerch offered an update on the band’s new album. According to him, the group are “closer than [they] thought [they would] be at this time.”
Kerch said the following:
“Nothing is finished. There are some [songs] that are in their final stages that are way past the demo mode. The songs that I recorded last week, which was more than four, less than seven songs, I was putting drums on pretty final things. Maybe some vocal tweaks needed to happen and maybe re-recording a couple of guitar parts and things like that, but the drums are done on those, for sure. Yeah, I think we probably need to write a handful of more songs and then pick from those of what’s gonna create a record.”
He also added:
“You wanna write more and then pick the best ones that sonically go together and make a solid record, ’cause that’s Shinedown’s thing, is we like to make a record that you can listen to front to back. We don’t like just, ‘Here’s a single. Here’s a single.’ There’s nothing wrong with that — some bands do that — but that’s just not our M.O. So we’re closer than we thought we’d be at this time.”
