Album Progress

Hey RY fans. Matt here. I haven't been doing much blogging lately. I apologize for that. We are currently in the mixing/editing phase. We've decided to call our first album Today. And Bill has been busy mixing his ass off. I've been a slacker lately. Sorry Bill. We've recorded a few new songs. We decided to split up some of our material and put about 11 or 12 tracks on the first album and put the rest of them on our second album, which is about half completed already. 

We've also decided to just leave the demo versions of our songs on our Reverbnation page, for now, until we get everything mixed and mastered. Then we will post the new versions and give the option to purchase and download them. The keyboards and live drummer really changed the sound of things. We are very happy with what we have. 

We are still #1 on the Reverbnation, Charleston, WV Rock charts as well as #4 on the Reverbnation, Charleston, WV all genre's charts. So thank all of you for listening to our songs. Every play counts. 

Keep checking back for updates and in the meantime go to our reverbnation, facebook, twitter, myspace and google+ pages and give our songs another listen/ like and lets get some Radio Yesterday chatter going out there. 

I'm writing this post immediately after having injections in my lower back so I'm a little out of my mind right now. Thanks again Radio Yesterday fans.

Drums

The New Drum Tracks Are Killer

We finally got the drums recorded. For the  most part, they turned out awesome. There are a couple songs that we aren't happy with and they will have to be redone. But, over all, we are stoked about how a real, live drummer opened up our sound. All of the songs are a little heavier now, which is not what we were going for, but we like the sound. So the next step is to contact another drummer and see if he can help us out on the tracks that need redone. We are also going to get a really great keyboard guy down here to help us out on a couple songs. So we are really close to wrapping up our first album. We will be replacing the songs on our Reverbnation page with the songs with the new drum tracks, once we get a good mix that we like. Please let us know what you think about the new sound.

Suzi (Bill's wife) has come up with some killer ideas for our album cover, layout and even song order and content for the album. 

We've also started recording tracks for our second album. We've got two songs written and recorded. Both are great songs and both were written by Bill. We are working on some new collaborations.  This next album seems to be heading in more of an acoustic direction. We're just going to let it go whichever direction it goes. We will be posting some of the new stuff as soon as we get a rough mix.

Radio Yesterdays is still #1 on the Reverbnation, Charleston WV, Rock charts. We are #6 on the Reverbnation, Charleston WV, All genres chart. And we are climbing every day on the Reverbnation, 
national and global charts. Thanks to everyone who continues to listen to our music.
