Here’s the song list:
That’s right, Glossary is ready to begin recording our 7th record and we’re asking for your help.
From our Kickstarter page:
Hello beautiful people,
Thanks for checking out our project. We’re excited to begin recording our seventh record, “Long Live All Of Us.” Glossary has always been an independent, self-financed band. In the past, we’ve never been able to spend more than a couple of weeks recording an album, due to the time and financial constraints of using a traditional studio. So we’ve decided to set up our own makeshift studio, in a house right outside of Murfreesboro that we’re renting from friends. The idea is to give ourselves two months to write, experiment, and record as much as we can. The money we are trying to raise is for the house rental, our recording engineer, and the mixing and mastering of our record.
Most of the backer rewards we are offering are Kickstarter exclusives and made by the band. (Hot sauce?! Cooked in Joey’s kitchen! Posters, t-shirts and hoodies?! Screen-printed by Bingham!!) We truly appreciate your interest and support. Glossary would not exist without our awesome friends and fans. Thanks for going on this rock ‘n’ roll journey with us.
Hey y’all. Joey made y’all a Christmas video. Bingham plays the sleighbells. It’s great.
The Nashville Scene saw fit to put Feral Fire in their top ten albums of 2010. We thank them! Nashville Scene is definitely in our top 10 list of Nashville weeklies.
Here’s a video Joey shot for “Happiness Looks Good On You” – a song from Kelly’s solo record.
Dear Friends,
So, for a while now Joey and I have been tossing around this idea of me recording a solo record. I am not the songwriting type, but I have friends of that sort who have, at one time or another, called Murfreesboro home. We asked a few of them to donate a song for our little project, and that’s how this EP came about. I can’t thank these guys enough for such awesome songs. We’ve been working on the record in bits and pieces over the last couple of months, and it’s as ready as it’ll ever be…and it’s free, y’all! Hope you enjoy. –Kelly
