Also this time around we didn’t have people telling us what we had to do with our sound. Brett and I have developed as song writers and as people. SB: If they liked what Crazytown did with earlier stuff then they are going to like what we have going on now. Things are sounding really great during rehearsals and its going to be good to get back up there on stage.ĪL: What do you think will draw fans back to the band after being out of the scene for some time now? SB: We have a show in March with Yelawolf in San Diego and from there we have shows in Mexico City and a few other places. Sometimes we would start with a guitar riff and go from there other times we would have lyrics and start that way.ĪL: Are there plans to get out on the road in support of the release?
Boondocks was there while we were working as well so he would come up with things as well. Sometimes I just hear a riff or lyrics and create a song off of that idea but most times Brett usually comes up with a beat and then I will start thinking about lyrics and such. Everything sort of went forward from there.ĪL: How did things work in the studio once you were there? He did a remix that I was really into so I started hitting him up on Instagram to come work with us. We met him thorough some mutual friends at Sullivan’s Clothing. He’s just a hilarious guy who also happens to be a military veteran. SB: Boondocks is one of our crazy friends. I think Brett was a little more skeptical about starting back out than I was but once things got going it worked out great.ĪL: You worked with an artist by the name of Boondocks. We were both in a really great creative place where we both wanted to start making new music. Both Bret and I had gone through a lot of stuff and during that time gotten clean. We were all excited when heard it so that’s really how it ended up being the first one we decided to release.ĪL: What was it that sparked your interest to do a new Crazytown album? This track was one of those that just sort of happened while we were in the studio. The whole vibe of the song is something that I think listeners will really enjoy when they hear it. SB: That song has really great energy and is just super fun. Those were songs that we started with DJ AM before he passed away.ĪL: How did the song “Megatron” end up being the first single from the album? The album ended up consisting of mostly new material with the exception of two/three songs. From there we never stopped making new songs. We went into the studio to start working on them and we ended up starting with a brand new song. Bret and I were going through some old demos and stuff and we thought it would be a good idea to put them out there. Seth Binzer: This is a record that we started on about a year ago.
