ATREYU Interviewed On Chicago's Q101.1 FM; Video Available
February 13, 2009California-based rock band ATREYU spoke with Ryan Manno of Chicago's Q101.1 FM from the Staples Center in Los Angeles ahead of this past Sunday's (February 8) Grammy Awards. They talked about the washout of the station's Block Party last year, beginning work on a new album and having fifteen songs written so far, and plans to release the disc late summer. Watch the brief interview below.
ATREYU's last single from the band's current album, "Lead Sails Paper Anchor", was called "Slow Burn". Singer Alex Varkatzas told The Pulse of Radio that the track could be the most diverse offering yet from the band. "Oh, it's a rad song, like, it's got a totally different feel than anything we've ever kind of written before, and it's got a real, like, to me almost like a U2-type, like, rousing drum beat chorus," he said. "It's just kind of like another outside of the bubble song for ATREYU on 'Lead Sails Paper Anchor', which, I think the whole record is kind of outside of our bubble. Another weird song that we wrote and we play. We don't even play it that well."
"Slow Burn" follows "Falling Down" and "Becoming the Bull" as singles from "Lead Sails Paper Anchor".
The group issued an expanded version of the album last April, featuring newly recorded cover songs, 10 videos and profiles of each band member.
