On what formats did you re- lease ‘Partied Out,’ and will you expand upon that with your next record? We released digitally (iTunes, Spotify) and Panic State released CDs for us. We’d LOVE to get on vinyl.  Will the next record also be on Panic State or will you be shop- ping it? We are recording, and we love Panic State, as long as Bean likes the new songs we’re down with that!! To finance that record, you will have done a car wash and af- ter party at AP Brewery, which sounds like a lot of fun. Any other recording fundraisers on the horizons, such as addition- al events or a crowd-funding page? Yeah, the car wash idea started off as a joke. I remember my friend’s high school did a car wash to fund their prom. I re- ally didn’t think it’d get this far. NJ STAGE - ISSUE 48 Usually, slinging shirts is how we make our gas money, so we’re hoping to do well at the next few shows. When and where do you ex- pect to record the next release? We are going in with Erik Rome- ro next. He’s an amazing pro- ducer/engineer, and we can’t wait. What other details can you share about the next record, in- cluding new songs that you’re playing live? I think we honed in on our favorite aspects of the first record: tongue-and-cheek lyrics over quirky simplistic yet big riffs. What else is coming up for the band in regard to performances and releases, including singles, videos and other promotional opportunities? We’re super pumped on the summer. After INDEX NEXT ARTICLE 77
