The Used – ‘Artwork’

The Used began writing for ‘Artwork’ in early 2008, and originally hoped to enter the studio shortly after Kevin Lyman’s 2008 “Get a Life Tour” with Weezer front-man Rivers Cuomo as producer of the album.  The Used expressed their interest in the raw sound found on Weezer’s 1996 album ‘Pinkerton’, and hoped to create a similar sound by working with Cuomo.^[5] The band ended up working with producer Matt Squire (Panic at the Disco, Boys Like Girls, The Receiving End of Sirens) and did not enter the studio until the end of 2008.

Black Crowes – ‘Before The Frost…’

The day after the 2008 Euphoria or Bust tour ended, the band announced their next album of original material would be recorded live in front of an audience at Levon Helm’s Barn in Woodstock, New York, over five nights in February and March 2009. The recording sessions were titled “Cabin Fever Winter 2009″ and the band performed around 30 songs consisting mostly of new original material as well as several covers. The new material is supposed to be released as a double album with an accompanying DVD that documents the recording sessions. In April 2009, Rich Robinson stated during an Atlanta radio interview that the new album will be released sometime around September 2009 and that a tour will most likely follow its release.  A CD/vinyl purchase of the album will be accompanied with a download code to receive the album’s companion release, ‘…Until the Freeze’, comprised of session outtakes. The download portion will be available in mp3 and FLAC format.
