Die Poppunk-Formation GRAYSCALE aus Philadelphia hat angekündigt Ende Juli eine Live-EP via Fearless Records zu veröffentlichen. Am 29. Juli 2020 erscheint "Live From The Barber Shop Studios". Auf der EP befinden sich drei neu aufgenommene Versionen aus dem Album "Nella Vita", welches vergangenen September erschien.
"Every single member of the band grew up with an incredibly wide musical palette," erklärt Gitarrist Dallas Molster. "We were drawn to everything from jazz, classic rock, hip-hop and anything in between. We saw this as an opportunity to rearrange our songs in totally different styles and to tap into some different musical influences than usual."
Als Appetizer hat die Band ein Video zum Song "Baby Blue" geteilt. Molster kommentiert:
"It started with our good friend, Skyler Patzer, who had written the piano arrangement previously on our Punk Goes Acoustic 'Atlantic' track. I had written the acoustic, bass, and drum loop parts for a reworked version of 'Painkiller Weather,' and then sent it off to Skyler, who then wrote a beautiful piano part to accompany what I had written. The chemistry and workflow that I had developed with Skyler was so enjoyable that I wanted to work on another song with him. Skyler laid down a piano part reminiscent of the Motown sound to the vocal of 'Baby Blue,' and after hearing this, I was immediately inspired to arrange this in the vein of a 'big band' song."
