The Fleeting Ends / Cover Club Session / Original Track / 'I Feel Cursed'

Earlier this week we released the incredible recreation of  Ween's 'Tried and True' by the Fleeting Ends for #COVERCLUB!  The gritty version, done at Nomad Recording Studio, was a wonderful reminder that they are more than just alt-pop-rock wizards, but that they can seriously rock!

Cover Club | The FleetingEnds "I Feel Cursed"

To complete the #CoverClub session one of the many hits from Our Eyes Are Peeled, 'I Feel Cursed' was captured.  This Cover Club session recorded in December was the wrap of a really killer year for the band.  "2013 was a big year for us only because of Our Eyes Are Peeled. It landed us fantastic publications in Magent Magazine, Modern Drummer and many more.  Took us out on the road and got us into gear for future touring.  Local support has been fantastic.  Especially from WXPN.  We played this summers Xponential fest and it was by far the best day the band has ever had. Our Eyes Are Peeled  shot us into not only philadelphia's radar but all across the US as well."

Getting into how this all happend, the band was more than happy to share.  "We recorded Our Eyes Are Peeled at MilkBoy The Studio in Philadelphia with our long time friend, manager and producer, Tommy Joyner.  Everything The Fleeting Ends has released (except demos) has been engineered and produced by Tommy and at his studio. It truly was a roller coaster ride from start to finish.  We spent a lot of odd hours and late nights getting the album completed.  We wanted to outshine our previous releases so the pressure was on to knock it out of the park.  This album has elements we never thought would be in a The Fleeting Ends song.  We were lucky enough to catch Larry Golds ear.  Larry is a very accomplished string arranger and composer.  He owned the studio before MilkBoy took it over.  He was intrigued by our sound and wanted to lend a hand.  Absolutely! we said.  The albums rhythm tracks are also recorded analog.  Something we never ventured into.  Our Eyes Are Peeled has taken us one step closer to finding out who we are as a band.  We can't wait to get back in the studio and start creating the next one!"

Bands Pick The Bands - 2016 XPoNential Music Festival Presented by Subaru - Artists Preview

Wooo Hooooo It's XPoNential Fest Time!!!!  Every year WXPN brings a ton of great bands and artists to the Wiggins Park shore in Camden, NJ.  With so many bands on the line-up it's daunting to figure out which bands to see.  Fortunately, the way WXPN does the line-ups you CAN make it to every band should you choose.  However, we all know it's going to be hot as hell.  Not quite as hot as 2011 with the 100 degree days, but still super hot.   Luckily for us, some of the festival performers have put in their two cents for which bands they are excited about. Rosemary Fiki   starts the fest at 4pm today on the JerseyArts.Com Marina Stage. Let's see what she's recommending: Band Most Excited to Share the Festival Stage with : This is our first time time performing at XPoNential so to be completely honest, I'm super stoked to share the Festival stage with everyone! If I absolutely had to choose, I would say The Districts. We actually shared the stage wit

New Release Q&A - Sonja Sofya answers some questions for "Patterns We Know"

The buzz has been all about Sonja Sofya and her new album The Patterns We Know .  Tonight Sonja Sofya and band take to the stage at Boot & Saddle in South Philly along with a great line-up featuring Arc Divers and the dove and the wolf. Right off the top we have some great reasons to expect great things from this album, such as produced by Ross Bellenoit at Turtle Studios and excellent musicianship by guitarist/producer Ross Bellenoit, bassist Jonathan Colman , and drummers Matt Scarano and Jonas Oesterle . But we at Root Down In The Shadow wanted to dig further and see what Sonja had to say about the album. Here's 3 questions we had for the songstress Sonja Sofya: RDITS: What was the impetus to make a full length record and why did you pick the people you worked with? At a certain point, playing and writing as much as I was, it felt like the logical next step, but I waited for a while, trying to find the "perfect" time to go into the stud

Root Down Is A Sometime Thing...

From the desk of Root Down: Greetings Friends!  It's been a bit, how've ya been? What's new? I've been gone for some time and I feel that I owe everyone an explanation of where I've been.   Honestly, I haven't gone anywhere. Since I've last posted, I've still been frequenting my favorite record store, been hitting up local shows, hosted a few house shows, traveling for special shows, and making music a large part of my life.  What I haven't been doing is losing countless hours fretting over knowing every new artist, tweeting, and losing sleep editing articles that spend less time getting read than I spent writing.  I can definitively tell you that I'm DONE attempting to make Root Down In The Shadow "a thing" in the music world.   I don't need Twitter followers, a lively blog, or anyone else's validation to share my love for music. It doesn't help my enjoyment of music to follow a shit-ton of bands on eve
