I can't handle this. I get to see TV and Movies early, but still, this is torture. I fear for my mortality when thrice records are watching, waiting in the wings.
should we start a go fund me for chorus to hear the new thrice record, a private stream set up by epitaph just for chorus users, open for 1 play through.. how much do you think we could raise?? edit (this is a joke)
I'd be in for a healthy sum. They should also count the money we spend on pre-orders toward the goal amount though.
This period must drive the band crazy, too. You know they want their music heard as well as that cash money in their hands.
I know what it's like to have a label NOT release your record. We had already waited a year for it to be released. Politics. Crumbling industry. Scumbag producer. And manager.
Plus, you're sick of those songs by that point. You already want to record your new stuff. That's the worst part of the recording process; you play those songs to death; listen to 'em to death during tracking, mixing and mastering. By the end, I always wish I chose different songs for each record. I currently have 200 fleshed-out song ideas on just my phone that could amount to a career's worth of music. Sadly, they'll never see the light of day.
