DUE OUT ON NEW WEATHERMEN
Everyone’s favorite spazzy hardcore champs Heavy Heavy Low Low have entered the studio to record their sophomore release for New Weathermen.
The album is due out late Spring 08, and is uniquely titled Turtle Nipple In The Toxic Shock.
Never failing to intrigue, the title is a good representation of some of the wacky hijinx that will ensue when the album hits your CD player, tells vocalist Robbie,
“The whole album is really about having a good time. We’re always out to just do what we enjoy, go out on the road and make weird music. The album is just a bunch of jokes about all of the random enjoyment we have had on tour.”
The band is currently recording in their hometown of Oakland, CA with good friend Sam Pura (North, Strata, Seize the Night), who did the EP that caught the attention of their New Weathermen home.
The band has spent the past few months completing the new material, and Robbie would describe it as,
“The Beach Boys on acid, basically. We really incorporate a surf rock, spacey vibe, and it’s not as breakdown-oriented. It’s still heavy, don’t get me wrong, but this one will definitely exceed a half an hour in running time.”
This is a big deal to the band, who are proud of the progression they have made from their debut, tells Robbie,
“I felt like the recording of the last album was really rushed, and we weren’t 100% ready to enter the studio. This album is much more us because it embodies all the differences and quirks in each of our personalities. We all sat down and wrote it together, and it shows: it’s totally a collaborative process, a combination of all of our personal styles rolled into one.”
Regardless of what the band says about their 2006 New Weathermen debut Everything’s Watched, Everyone’s Watching, fans and media were quite taken with the album. Alternative Press profiled the group as a “Band To Watch” and Outburn said that they “may be the band to usher in a new era of hardcore music.” Web media added in on the roaring praise with premier heavy music site Paste Punk.com calling the album, “an aural attack on the listener as the band combines the frenetic nature of spazzy post-hardcore with the more streamlined appeal of metalcore. Underneath it all lies a technical prowess that often shows itself when the band opts to go the extra minute.”
After they finish up recording, the band will eagerly be heading back out on the road. Their last tour was a headlining run in November with Foxy Shazam, Tero Melos and Dance Gavin Dance. Over the past year the band has set new records, going to Europe with Fear Before March of Flames and The End.
HHLL, made up of brother/rhythm section Christopher (drums) and Andrew (bass) as well as Danny (guitar/vocals), Ryan (guitar) and Robbie, spent last summer on powerhouse heavy music tour Sounds of the Underground alongside Shadows Fall, All that Remains, and Gwar. Past touring partners have included The Fall Of Troy, The Number 12 Looks Like You, Ed Gein, The Warriors, Protest The Hero and The Blackout Pact, to name a few.
