The Record Process

On this episode of The Record Process, we speak with singer Devin Papadol of the band Honey Revenge.  Devin lays out a ton of details about the backstory of the band, explaining how she began working with guitarist Donny Llyod, how their relationship with collaborators like KJ Strock and Zach Jones developed, and even how they tackled the difficult task of coming up with a fitting name for the project. Devin talks about the confining nature of genre labels, and how she works to find  balance within her lyric-writing.  We discuss why she finds it so important to check your ego as a songwriter and artist, and how she harnessed the power of FOMO and burnout to drive her further lyrically on this album.  We hear she struggled with patience early on, how the band adapted to changing timelines and rollout plans for the album, and even how the band approached putting on their promotional hat to create visibility for their album across social media once it was finished.6:50 - The origin story of Honey Revenge42:40 - Starting to piece together an album57:20 - Putting on our promotional hat post album finishCLICK HERE to submit your album via Groover to be featured on an upcoming episode of The Record Process this season!

This week our journey brings us down south as we chat with a few of the members of Orlando, Florida-based rock band Felicity. The band has always prided themselves on hard work and a diy punk rock ethos, so we talk about how the band started building momentum before the pandemic and how the audience for their music has grown exponentially in past years thanks in large part to the bands personality and traction on social media.  They invite us behind the scene as they detail the methods used in their co-writing process for the song Charlie Sheen, which they co-wrote with producer Jon Lundin of the band Point North.  They band also describe working with producer Andrew Wade over the years.  Andrew has worked with bands like A Day To Remember, Neck Deep, and Wage War. He’s had a pretty big impact on music in this genre, and you’ll hear the guys in Felicity speak fondly of the impact he's had - not just on their song Charlie Sheen - but on their band as a whole.10:45: Learning from those you hire and trusting their judgement30:30: Building momentum just before COVID33:00: Working with Andrew WadeCLICK HERE to submit your album via Groover to be featured on an upcoming episode of The Record Process this season!

This week we sit down with songwriter, guitarist, and frontman Anthony Raneri of the Long Island-based rock band Bayside.  We invited Anthony to walk us through the unique writing and release process of the band's most recent album titled There Are Worse Things Than Being Alive. You’re heard him explain how Bayside’s sound has progressed throughout the band's career spanning almost 2 and a half decades, and how this album challenged them to expand their understanding of what Bayside Is? Bayside has become known for their almost ‘cult-like’ fanbase, and we dive into how a band like Bayside works to balance outside expectations with their own internal drive to explore new avenues - not just in the music itself - but in the way they approach presenting it to the world as well.  We touch upon how the band felt somewhat discouraged with their previous approaches to recording and releasing records, and how it led them on a quest to game what Anthony calls the “human algorithm” by releasing every song on the album separately. You’ll hear us discuss what it’s like for Bayside to truly live inside of a record, how Anthony tries to stay in that creative headspace throughout the process, and ultimately why he also believes in the self discipline required to take breaks in order to allow life back into the creative process.9:45 - How Baysides sound has developed over the years23:25 - Gaming the "human algorithm" 45:15 - Self discipline and putting "life" back into the creative process51:05 - Mastery of songwriting is being able to get out of your headCLICK HERE to submit your album via Groover to be featured on an upcoming episode of The Record Process this season!

This week we feature our conversation with canadian songwriter and vocalist Tyler Zanon, who’s project is better known by the name Youth Fountain. We discuss Tyler’s journey as a musician, and how Youth Fountain has transformed over the years. Tyler takes us through how his writing process has evolved over the years, and how his 2023 album Together In Lonesome forced him to grow even more with the help of producer Anton Delost. He recalls what it was like to finally have an outside perspective willing to help him break apart the songs and put them back together in a more compelling way. Tyler shines a light on the two specific songs from the album that really took him out of his comfort zone, and he also details the two songs on the album that underwent the most drastic changes throughout the process. You’ll hear Tyler zero in on his lyrical approach to capturing everything he wants to say in just the right way, and how trusting in his collaborators - mixed with the pressure of a finite timeline - ultimately afforded him the ability to create his favourite album yet.11:40 - Working with producer Anton DeLost25:10 - Becoming more comfortable with reworking ideas33:45- Avoiding songs sounding the sameCLICK HERE to submit your album via Groover to be featured on an upcoming episode of The Record Process this season!
