How would you describe your songwriting process?Īli: We don’t really have a set process. We love Jump Up Records and we also love a lot of our labelmates on there, lots of friends in the scene. Danny and I put that out.ĭanny: He got international distribution for them overnight and they appeared in Germany and Japan and all that kind of fun stuff.Īli: It’s been very helpful. We’ve never been able to come near doing real international distribution and while we were in this process he asked us, “hey, if you have extra copies of your third record Money In The Bank send them to me and I’ll throw them into my catalog”. He’s also helped us with international distribution. He got us onto Slackfest in Chicago this coming November because he knows those cats. He’s also helped us out by putting us in touch with certain people, getting us certain shows. It’s great to get updates as opposed to frantically doing stuff ourselves. He’s been like, “don’t worry about this, I’ve got this!” and just sent us stuff like, “hey, your tape’s coming in on this day. That’s great for people like us because we have jobs and our band does what it can but it’s very hard for us to pull in all the money we need for records plus CDs plus tapes plus all of this stuff. He’s been able to offer us help in a few different ways like having the financial burden taken off of us of having to actually physically produce the record. What has working with the label been like?ĭanny: It’s been really awesome! Chuck has been just so easy to work with and everything has been really straight-forward and right on track.
