Topic: A New IZZ Album Soon! Posted: April 04 2009 at 13:44 |
From John Galgano on the Endlesscalling Yahoo Message site:
Spurred by Mr. Jones' post, and realizing that we've been so entrenched in recording that we haven't picked our heads up from the Logic interface in a good long while, I think it's time for a bit of an update!
I can tell you that I've finished recording all of my acoustic guitar for the album (I think...), which I play on 3 songs (I think...) and nearly finished all of my lead vocals (I think...). Bass work is still "in progress", but lots has been done. Brems has recorded some absolutely *pristine* work for this album (who would've doubted that) and he's completed a very good portion of his guitar work as well.
What can I tell you about the album? Well, I don't want to give anything away - what would be the fun in that? But I can tell you this - Tom, Brems and I listened to a bunch of the new songs the other night and we all had the same reaction: "Well, this is different." I have to qualify that - It's still IZZ. We haven't become grunge or emo or the Jonas Brothers, but what I will say is that this record is NOT My River Flows.
I can also say that Tom and Brems will absolutely SHINE on this record (both in terms of playing and writing).
More details will be coming out in the next few weeks. We're also working on a new website to coincide with the release of the new album and it looks like that will be up by late April/early May.
Even for us, the wait for this album seems like it will never end, but let me assure you, once the album is ready, we'll move at lightning speed - and this will be sooner rather than later.
In the meantime, share IZZ with your friends (as you already do) and convince them to download a track or two from iTunes or Rhapsody or some other site - not only do the songs cost only a buck but new people are exposed to IZZ everyday through this medium. Based on the emails we get, this seems to be one of the best ways to hook in new fans. It's a cheap way for them to check us out and if they like the first song they download, chances are they end up buying the whole record. Without you all, there is no IZZ. Well...there would probably be an IZZ, but our audience would be the IZZ Kidz and I think they'd prefer Miley Cyrus.
Thank you for your continued patience with us and we are convinced you'll think it was worth the wait.
Thank you all - Cheers! John for IZZ

Very good band. "Late Night Salvation" is probably my favorite of theirs. Great melodic sensibility.
