New songs are ridiculous. I’m so excited to hear the studio versions!

 

It's probably "just" gonna be like a 5 song EP though right?

 

Lot of people in those YouTube comments saying how they vocals are better live than on the studio versions though lol Maybe they really should rethink some of those vocal effects

 

They've got a headline show in July and I have to assume they'll want to play more than 25 minutes for that. The Rock Sound interview makes it seem like he's been working on this for a while so I wouldn't be surprised if there's a full album. I hope so.

 

My uneducated guess is that we get the EP in a month or so to coincide with the headline gig, and the album next year.

 

Looking at the videos, that confirms it's definitely not James and Matt on guitar and bass! I wonder who they could be though

 

Ah makes sense, would be cool

 

I had never heard of Charlie Simpson before PRESIDENT, my friends were shocked I hadn’t even heard Busted’s Year 3000, but I’ve become kinda obsessed with all of his music since. PRESIDENT is the most I’ve ever played singles before ever.

 

welcome, friend!

 

I'm weird in that I discovered him because his solo album Young Pilgrim was getting a lot of hype here. I still love that one and the follow up, Long Road Home, along with Behind the Devil's Back by Fightstar, but remain "meh" on most of his other stuff, including all of Busted. I am cautiously excited for more PRESIDENT though, but I kind of hate the masked stuff.

 

That’s fair. Busted is easily my least favorite project of his (I think I’ve heard everything now). But personally, I love the President mask. I’ve thought a few times over the years of doing something similar as a way to write about things I don’t really want my face attached to. But also totally get it comes off weird or offputting to others.

 

European tour announced with Architects and Landmarks. So record/EP will be out this year sometime?

 

Can’t link the teaser right now, but Rage comes out the 18th.
