Pre-order the new Kirby Krackle album Sounds Like You now!

This blog is seriously at risk of becoming a Kirby Krackle news feed, but it wouldn't be proper to not mention that KK has a new album coming out in July called "Sounds Like You." You can pre-order it right now. Why aren't you pre-ordering it? Go pre-order it, c'mon.

Kyle took us in a different direction with this one. It's first time we've recorded as a live band, meaning instead of tracking drums first, then bass, then overdubbing guitars and building the recording like a lasagna, we went into Litho and recorded our parts all at once. It's subtle, but there's definitely a X-factor of awesome that comes from that approach that's noticeable in the tracks. They spark and jump with some real energy.

Another thing that's changed: songwriting content. Early on, Kyle confided that he wanted this record to stretch beyond songs about specific superheroes, video games and instead reach for more common themes while keeping the topics nerdy. Last year's single One More Episode is a prime example: instead of being a song about a specific TV show, it's a song about bonding over a shared love of good TV. If you liked that, you're in luck! There's a ton more where that came from on this record.

And if not, that's okay, there's a GoT-themed song on this record that will kick your ass. Anyway, lots more music stuff going on this summer to tell you about.
