Gainesville, Florida five-piece Sister Hazel is planning to release a B-sides disc this summer. “BAM! Volume 1” is scheduled to hit store shelves on June 5th and is the follow-up release to the band’s latest studio album, “Absolutely,” which was released in October 2006. Since everyone in the band writes music and lyrics, there tends to be a lot of music that battles for space on each Sister Hazel CD.
“One day we just said, ‘Let’s build a home for [these songs],’” said the band’s drummer, Mark Trojanowski. “That’s part of the beauty of being an independent artist. When you get fired up about the music, you can just skip the red tape and pull the trigger.”
“One of the hardest parts of making a CD for us has been picking songs,” said the band’s lead singer, Ken Block. “We are a 5-man democracy, and sifting through 70-something songs each time to narrow it down to one-CD-worth of music has always been challenging. Since we all write, there are always a ton of songs that we work up.”
Bassist Jett Beres said: “This is our first hybrid CD. There are full-blown studio tracks, live studio demos that captured our first pure swing at new songs, and some rare bonus tracks.” Rhythm guitarist and vocalist Drew Copeland commented: “When we listened to what we had, we were beyond excited.” Lead guitarist Ryan Newell adds: “To us, there is something special about these songs that has kept us excited about them. These are some of our favorite songs, so we’ve been really motivated to put them out for a while now.”
