Weird. They were great. I don’t think I could fill mine out. All Goes Down From Here and What It Is to Burn are right in that mix for songs though.
whenever I look back at DTR's releases, it's pretty amazing the group of bands that they had and the releases they put out. Too bad they fucked it all up.
Fucked it up? They’re rich as shit and basically retired and traveling the world managing and advising bands. They cashed out at probably the best time for that sound.
I mean that Richard Reins was a creep who made young bands walk on his back for sexual pleasure, and then kept the bands trapped in recording contracts but wouldn't release their new muic so most of the bands couldn't release any music around the late 2000s. Not to mention his attempt to start new labels around that same time which all fell apart.
Last night at the show Matty said something along the lines of “We were starting to think making two albums wasn’t possible, but as of this week it is” blah blah blah. Sounds like they might’ve finished recording or something, but it still seems a long ways away.
