Broadway Calls finishes new record
Broadway Calls have wrapped up work on their new full length for SideOneDummy Records. The band posted this update:
So recording and mixing are officially done! We had an amazing time at the Blasting Room, and couldn’t be happier with the way things sound. Bill, Jason, and the rest of the guys worked really hard with us, and now we are all BFF’s….actually time was split around 50/50 between music, and R. Kelly videos, but whatever. We got it done. We recorded 13 songs. Now we just need to pick the songs that aren’t going on the record. Those songs will most likely be used for b-sides on our vinyl.
The new record is expected in 2009 and will follow Broadway Calls released in 2007.
