Moving On is a 13-track album. It is a loose concept album which deals with the themes of moving on or forward in life, moving on from a relationship or that change point within your life.
Recorded in the band’s own studio Renegade Maverick Studios and also PlethoraTone Studios, Nashville, TN (USA). Embracing a strong DIY-Ethos the band recorded and mixed the album themselves, helped by the fact that they have a certified Pro Tools Operator and people with Music Technology and Music Production Degrees within the band.
Several personal battles occurred during the making of the album. These personal battles resulted in massive delays to the album. One of these battles was guitarist Chris Logan being involved in a serious accident where he was hit by a bus. This resulted in many broken bones and the accident happened before any guitar parts were recorded. So the band had to wait many months until Chris was able to play again.
However, this downtime resulted in the band being able to grow musically because of the forced time off. This allowed the songs to be looked at it greater detail, reworked or simply dropped and replaced. The resulting album is very different to the one that was originally thought to be nearly finished. During this period we lost two band members. So a 5-piece band was scaled right back to the core three members.
It is for these reasons that the album is called Moving On. A reflection of what we went through as a band during the making of this record and the progression of our music.
In the spirit of collaboration, the band did however enlist additional musicians in the making of the record. These included Chris Brush (Drums), John McCullough (Piano/Hammond/Rhodes), Lauren Bird (Ukulele) and Tommy Detamore (Pedal Steel).
