Hey Dudes- It would mean the world to me if you would check out the ScreamCreature EP we are releasing today. If youve seen me post but didnt know what the hell I was talking about, well its a little project I started with my little baby brother, whos not a little baby, but hes kind of a big baby for such a big little baby guy. He was the first fan of every band Ive ever been in: Exposed Youth, Hed, Boss Tweed, Elefant. Yeah, those are all names we actually considered using for the one and only band Ive actually ever been in… and I cant believe O.A.R. actually did go by some of those names. Well, Rob sat in the corner in the basement watching every band practice, and he learned to play guitar by watching Marc and Richard. When O.A.R. wasnt practicing, he and I jammed down there all the time. Then he started writing his own songs. I pushed him to keep writing and he kept writing. About 10 years ago we were living in Chicago and we stayed up all night one night writing a song called Stand and Scream and we knew the 2 of us had to do somethin. Now somethin had to happen. But life was crazy over the next few years. I was on the road. He moved to LA for a few years and then to San Francisco. But whenever wed get together back in Maryland for the holidays, wed go back down to the basement and it was just like being back down there with Marc, Richard, Benj and Jerry. I love that basement. I love how it sounds. We wrote more songs. I invited Rob to Chicago to head into the studio. To fill out the parts, we invited Danny Chaimson whos always been one of my favorite creative souls to have ever walked the earth and the chemistry was instantly apparent. I love that Ive only ever been in bands with my brothers. These songs have been written in Maryland, Chicago, LA, San Francisco, and even Memphis, and we recorded them over a 3 year period in many, many different studios in Chicago, before finally being mixed in Nashville. Its been one of my favorite adventures. As you can see the story of ScreamCreature is either 3, or 10, or 30 years in the making depending on how you tell it. Its available everywhere and anywhere today, we even have physical copies available at CDBaby. Check it out and let me know whatchu think! https://itunes.apple/us/album/screamcreature-ep-ep/id878795707 cdbaby/cd/screamcreature - Chris
