Record Release w/ Eric Slick, Cherry, Cave People
Hurry began less as a band and more as a man singing songs to himself in his apartment. Up until 2014, Hurry consisted exclusively of that one man–Matthew Scottoline – joined by a revolving group of friends for performances, while doing all of the songwriting and recording on his own.
Hurry, which cites influence in Teenage Fanclub, Guided By Voices, The Bats, and Brian Wilson, remained a solo project until the release of their debut Everything/Nothing. Scottoline finally secured bandmates in cousins Rob and Joe Decarolis, who joined him for the recording of the band’s first official record. Everything/Nothing was released on Hot Green Records in October of 2014, and the band went on to tour with everyone from Yuck to Beach Slang.
Hurry got roped into Lame-O Records when they recorded the song “Shake It Off” for their 2015 six-band split Strength In Weakness (also featuring Modern Baseball, Beach Slang and more). On April 29th, 2016, Hurry released their sophomore album Guided Meditation, and will follow it up with their new EP Casual Feelings on October 21st.

Over It., Beach Slang, Foxing) and mixed by Jesse Gander (Japandroids, White Lung). The record, which the band collectively describes as its darkest effort to date, is set for release in early 2017.

You Blew It Announce New LP Abendrot, Out November 11 on Triple Crown Records
Photo Credit: Kayla Surico
Orlando, Florida's You Blew It ( @youblewitfl ) announced a new record today alongside a track premiere in an interview on Stereogum. Their new LP, titled Abendrot, is slated to be released on Triple Crown Records on November 11, 2016. Pre-order for the album is now available, and You Blew It will tour this fall (all dates below the fold).
Listen to "Autotheology" & Read an Interview at Stereogum
Abendrot was produced by Into It. Over It.'s Evan Weiss at Atlas Studios in Chicago, and is You Blew It's first effort for Triple Crown Records. Their most recent EP, 2015's Pioneer of Nothing, was released on independent stronghold Jade Tree. Their last full-length, 2014's Keep Doing What You're Doing was released on Topshelf Records. You Blew It has received praise from a wide variety of outlets including Pitchfork, Rolling Stone, Stereogum, Alternative Press and more.
Bio:
When You Blew It! frontman Tanner Jones describes the influence of the band’s Orlando, Florida hometown, he notes that everything feels like osmosis, a process that sees a solvent moving through a semipermeable membrane from a lower concentration into a higher concentration.
Orlando is a thriving cultural mecca with a vibrant international scene, which allows the city’s sights and sounds to seemingly shift entirely from one night to the next. This atmosphere slipped through the You Blew It!’s somewhat semipermeable writing process for Abendrot, the band’s first effort for Triple Crown Records. The osmosis of varied cultural influences surrounding the band in Orlando allowed them to focus on the intricacies of their songwriting and step into unfamiliar territory, bringing out a darker side both lyrically and sonically.
Abendrot was written in roughly four days after the band’s five members – Jones, guitarists Andy Anaya and Trevor O’Hare, bassist Andy Vila, and drummer Matthew Nissley – spent months apart, each having moved away from Orlando for various reasons. Despite the quick turnaround on the majority of the writing process, the band spent the majority of nearly six months tinkering with song structures before they felt they had the material was ready for the studio, which allowed the record’s twelve songs cover a lot of ground thematically, with an unintentional shift inward. While some of the songs deal with frontman Tanner Jones’ mental health after the long-winded production of the record straining his perfectionist personality and ultimately driving him into therapy, each song deals with something different, sometimes rooted in fiction.
With Into It. Over It’s Evan Weiss at the production helm, Abendrot was recorded over a month at Atlas Studios in Chicago, the longest the band has ever spent recording. This allowed them to experiment more with different recording techniques that included switching up the mic placement for each song, as well as playing with echoes and tape delay. Additionally, they placed an emphasis on making sure the production’s use of digital manipulation was used as sparingly as possible.
As You Blew It! continues to build their career with Abendrot, their only goal is to manage the constant internal and external pressures of the music industry and retain their integrity.
