    The Starting Line Responds to Name-Check in Taylor Swift's 'Black Dog' “There’s been an uptick in us playing together, and a really great interpersonal dynamic between the band members recently that has been very creative and inspirational, playing together recently. So we’ve been into a creative process writing new music since last year. We’re just collecting everything and figuring out the best way to get that out there. But we’re generating music and have been for a bit of time. With us trying to get back into a more usual pace with the band, after all this time, it’s nice that we’re getting a little bit of light on us at this moment, especially given that we’re engaging more than ever since like 2007, when we kind of let our foot off the gas.” Really all that he says about new music, but still cool. Definitely sounds like they're picking up the pace with the band a bit more without totally being full-time.

    Thank you! That's awesome. It's basically a polished version of the demo before the structure got Howard Benson'd haha. Also, Nights and Weekends is so damn good. I always forget how great that song is.

    Purevolume? I definitely remember that live version of "Playing Favorites" with the full band being up on there. I don't think I've ever seen that one around since then though lol. With "Bedroom Talk" though, the reason I ask is because they definitely did do some version of that song with Tim O'Heir before they brought it to Howard Benson (at least that's how Kenny explained it on a recent podcast), but I never thought it saw the light of day.

    I don't think I was ever aware that a Tim O'Heir version of "Bedroom Talk" was even floating around out there like with "The World". I've only heard the original demo version of that song, I think.

    That club tour was one of the two times I ever saw them, and I have a distinct memory of the beginning of TSL's set. Everyone sort of wandered away from the front of the stage before they started. So all at once, the lights went off and the "DUN DUN" of "Up and Go" started... The whole crowd rushed towards the rail and I remember being a 15-year-old, 110 lb kid getting pushed by a wave of people and my feet were literally just sliding across the floor like a cartoon lol. After that though, the crowd/pit was pretty tame. It was a blast. I know there was also one point where it was just Kenny and Mike doing a couple of acoustic songs (I want to say "The Night Life" and "Playing Favorites") which was awesome.

    It’s also making me realize what a bummer it is that this awesome band only made THREE albums up until this point. But hey, better late than never!

    Perfect - thank you guys. I just saw Matt Watts's story and couldn't really dig anything up so I suspected that might be the case. That's awesome.
