DSWII officially gets its name as we reveal the cover for ‘No Such Thing As Glory’!

Dear friends,

it’s been a while since we’ve posted any updates regarding the recording process of DSWII. This is mainly because the recording has taken a slower turn since last summer. We hit the studio in June and wanted to record the whole album in one long session only to find out that we haven’t done enought to bring out the best from the tracks. So we left the studio bloodied and battered with a kick-ass recording of the drums.

One by one, we started adding the bass, guitars and vocals to the tracks. With the bass and guitars done and 5 out of 12 tracks complete with vocals, we’re shoulder-deep into the completion of the album. Unfortunately, the vocal recording has been delayed for 2 weeks now with the weather conditions in Slovenia going ballistic, leaving nearly one quarter of homes without electricity. Bummer. Still, Luka is doing the best he can to complete the vocals by the end of February. With the way things are now, we are looking good for a Spring release, but we’ll know for sure once we’ve unplugged the last microphone from the mixer and let our friend and producer, Tine Janzek, do his magic.

While the recording progresses, we’ll keep you updated with video footage all the way from pre-production to the recording process. We can’t wait to hear the songs once they are finished.

We have joined the European Battle Of The Bands and we need YOUR help to make it to the Vienna stage! Follow the link, play our songs, play our videos, share, like, tweet and last but not least, VOTE for us! Be sure to keep an eye on all our profiles as we begin to uncover more and more about the new record!

It’s almost been two years since we’ve released our debut album ‘Phoenix Down’. Having the album out there has allowed us to experience the best in making music: we’ve torn down stages raging from the smallest rock club to the biggest open-air stages. We’ve played 2-hour shows in hot summer nights until every drop of sweat was drawn from our bodies and we’ve driven for hours through a blizzard to bring it to one of the coolest audiences out there. Music videos, live TV, live radio, mags and webzines, it’s all there. And most importantly, we’ve made some great friends along the way.

Throughout all this time, we’ve been busily preparing new stuff. Stuff that you may have already heard on our gigs and stuff that was better left on the drawing board. Now it’s time to put it all together into a new album. We’ve grown over time and as our influences have developed, so has the music that we’ve been creating.

Ready to hit the studio on June 20th and a whole new world in front of us, we can’t wait to see what’s on the other side. This is where it begins, and you are coming with us. So stay tuned for more info, pics, videos, demos & other stuff we reveal on the way! Like what you like, and share what you love.

Welcome to the dirt.

Last weekend we decided to cover one of Big Foot Mama’s legendary songs for their contest ‘Pet ta hudih’ which drew dozens of fans to record their favorite version of any BFM song. As a result, Luka has been invited among the few selected finalists to perform with Big Foot Mama on TV! Congrats to Luka and keep your fingers crossed for the finale! In the meantime, listen to our cover of “Matr je mr’z” on YouTube:

We will be playing a limited number of shows before the Summer – preparations for the next album are fully underway! Mark your calendars and we’ll see you on stage!
