Help Support a New Lifesavers Album

Posted on by

The Lifesavers are recording an album and they need your help. The name of the album will be Dog Days of an Indian Summer and according to the band:

13 songs are written, recording has already begun! This album will be classic Lifesavers Surf/Punk, a soundtrack for Summer if you will. Recording will be done by Joshua Lory at his home studio as well as One Way Studio with Masaki Liu, who will more than likely mix it. Mastering will be done by J. Powell at Steinhaus Mastering. The money we raise here will go to studio cost for recording drums, guitar, and mixing, as well as CD pressing. Those that donate $15.00 and up will receive a download link sent to their email the day the album is finished mixing as well as a copy of the disc before it hits any stores!

Down the Line Magazine launches

Posted on by

Down the Line is a music-focused magazine that seeks to be different from the status quo in entertainment journalism. In 2008, Matt and Steve noticed that their favorite artists (past and present) weren’t getting the attention and promotion that they deserved. They decided to do something about it… but they decided to do it with no budget and no desire to make money themselves. They just wanted to promote some great music that isn’t covered by the mainstream media. Therefore, “Down The Line” was born: a magazine that promotes and caters to the artist and their art. Because they are not bound by a budget, there is no pressure to promote the latest band and record label. This is an independent magazine, with the independent artists in mind. The best part is, each issue is completely free! Please come and check us out at http://www.downthelinezine.com We launch on October 8th with interviews of Michael Knott, Josh Lory from LSU, Allan Aguirre from Scaterd Few, Writ On Water and plenty of album and concert reviews, musings, ramblings and fun. Stop by our site to read the production blog and please leave comments about what you want to see in the future.

L.S.Underground Press Release

Posted on by

An official press release has been circulating about the new album: “Michael Knott has recorded a new L.S. Underground record with Josh Lory, Jim Chaffin from the Crucified, Matt Biggers, Daniel Sonner, Rick McDonough and others. It has been in Michael’s heart and mind to create an album that would bring awareness to the overwhelming difficulties that U.S. and allied troops encounter upon returning home from combat, especially Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder or PTSD. PTSD, the leading cause for homelessness as well as alcohol and drug abuse among veterans, is a psychological, as well as neurological disorder, and one that must be dealt with in order for the soldiers to get the treatment that they need, and deserve. This is a heavy subject matter that needs to be addressed and brought to the surface as an honor to those who have served their country. A weighty subject that is pulled to the front line by the heaviest L.S. Underground album to date. Michael feels this is the most important record he has done since “This Is the Healing”. Michael is offering a pre-sale order until October 15 for those who would like to financially help finish and manufacture this album. For $12.00 you will immediately receive a photocopy of a few songs from his lyric book, signed and numbered (in pencil and pen), You will then receive the finished product following completion (around late October to early November). Recommended purchase is one to ten albums. Please pay via paypal to gerardartwork@yahoo.com.”

More LSU Information and Suprise

Posted on by

Joshua Lory, bass player for L.S.U., had this to say about the new L.S.U. album, as well as another possible album in the works: “We almost finished vocals last week, Mike will have this thing done within the next couple of weeks. Should be out by October at the latest. The subject matter is very heavy to say the least. This album is about Veterans of war and the heavy burdens they face on a day to day basis. We as civilians really can’t grasp the things these men and women have seen, real life horror that can not be forgot. It is hoped that this record will bring a sense of hope, comfort, and redemption to these brave soldiers, let them know that God is with them, loving them unconditionally, and that they are forgiven for the things they feel guilty about, and that Christ does not judge them for the beyond brave things they have done for our country. Other songs are about the helplessness the vets family members are feeling for their loved ones. Knott has poured his heart and soul into this album, he did his homework on the subject at hand. On a lighter note, a new Lifesavers record is in the works. I’ve been demoing off songs and sending them to Michael. Heavy Beach Boys and Ramones influence on this one. Will be a total fun in the sun record and after doing this L.S.Underground album, it will be sort of a release. No solid info as to when it will come out. Peace and Blessings, Joshua”

L.S.U. Recording Information

Posted on by

I found, what looks to be, the MySpace page for the bass player for the upcoming L.S.U. album. Joshua Lory has photos posted of the recording sessions. It appears that Jim Chaffin (The Crucified, Once Dead, Fasedown, etc) is playing drums, Matt Biggers is playing guitar, and Joshua is producing in addition to playing bass. Joshua calls the new L.S.U. album an “instant classic” that “redefines rock.” Nice. Jim Chaffin playing drums would also line up with what Michael said about this being the heaviest L.S.U. album ever. Josh also is blogging some of the process – it’s an interesting profile to check out.
