Recording

Butterscotch is gonna record a new album soon.  And we just don't know what to do. But it seems like we're gonna do a 10-12 song album at about 22 minutes total with the guy who recorded A Passing Feeling and release it for free.  More to come on that.
Here's what you missed last weekend:

Traditions in Rock

New favorite song and I'll tell ya why.  But the real explanation, is that it needs no explanation.
Drum fill
Intro riff twice (not four times.)  This riff has a hit on the fourth beat of the measure.
Verse
Chorus
end of chorus also has hit on fourth beat but it becomes the new "one" making it a measure of three and then two bars of rest

Repeat this form but with variation in verse (scream on FACE)

Bridge

Third verse now with screams and more aggressive drums
Chorus has hit on beat 4 again, this time only 3 beat rest
repeat again and back to the full two bar rest

Outro Three times (not twice)

There it is.  The words are also incredible, the energy sounds like it's a live recording, and it's all in 2 minutes at 15 seconds.

This is one clever punk rock band.
Listen to Blonder on Blonder
