 Post subject: Submerge interview May 29th (Sherri drops new song hints!)Posted: Thu Jul 24, 2008 8:14 am 
I sure don't remember seeing this posted, and if searches for Submerg* and Sacramento don't turn it up, then this site needs better algorithms. http://submergemag.com/featured/texas-tornado/113/ So here's another reference (the Portland radio interview) where Sherri mentions a hope of getting something recorded relatively soon. But the bigger reveal is her description of the sound of their new songs. DuPree said the material she had been writing had been a lot more guitar heavy and believed that their next release would be, “a little more heavy—more rock” than the group’s previous efforts. “It’s dorky, but I love playing loud guitar,” she said with a laugh. “‘Many Funerals’ [from Combinations] is one of my favorite songs to play because it’s one of our heaviest songs, so it’ll be fun having a few more [like that].” However, she was quick to point out that the group wouldn’t be abandoning their softer side. “There will definitely be love songs too because that’s always how it’s going to be,” she said. Let the overanalysis begin.  But seriously, this is the first I've read about any possible direction they're taking so it had to be shared here. The very thought of this next generation of songs gets my senses tingling.  _________________ http://www.twitter.com/drstrangeblog http://www.last.fm/user/getinline I can't find the time to write my mind the way I want it to read. |

To be quite honest, I prefer the softer/lighter songs rather than their "heavier" stuff. But I guess it's good that they're switching up their style and playing a bit of everything. _________________ Be happy, be contagious. |

edit: http://www.eisley.com/laughingcity/viewtopic.php?t=34201&highlight= I must've skipped your scans before for that reason, ha. There seem to be a few Sacramento people here and was surprised I couldn't find any mention of this - your title was too vague for me apparently! 
This was written a month before it went online, that makes it almost 3 months old now, so I'm taking an appropriately-sized grain of salt. Mindsets may have changed, but still a good read as you say. Sets the worms in the brain a-squiggling. _________________ http://www.twitter.com/drstrangeblog http://www.last.fm/user/getinline I can't find the time to write my mind the way I want it to read. |

I was secretly hoping they would go more in the directions of all lutes all the time .... 
How long will this guitar fad last? _________________

i just hope heavy and agressive don't equal pop punky stuff. i think it would be interesting if they had some longer songs where sherri and chauntelle traded off some riffs a la Stephen Malkmus. i've said this before, and i'll say it again; a song that required the triple guitar attack of Sherri/Chauntelle/Stacy live..........now that would be sweet! **disclaimer** i sound like a jam band type of person, but i'm not. i like Malkmus because it never gets "cock rocky" or whatever. it's not about 'shredding' or anything. it's always melodic and interesting. and he still writes 3 minute pop ditties. _________________ I am Torgo.

bigideas wrote: i just hope heavy and agressive don't equal pop punky stuff. Me neither. I can't help but feel like they're trying really really hard to move away from their original influences (Radiohead, The Beatles, etc.) and sound more like bands such as Say Anything, New Found Glory, Brand New........  Maybe even, dare I say it, Paramore. It's like their trying to fit in with a new crowd. I thought Boyd said they weren't going to be placing themselves in that category anymore. (In reference of who they're touring with.)

I have to admit, though, this would be pretty kickin'. Get that guy who's making Sherri and Chauntelle new guitars to make one for Stacy!! _________________ My name is actually Sarah. Facebook. Twitter. |

These two are my favorites of his. and to be on topic...whatever Eisley does, I'm pretty sure I'm going to like it. _________________
