Gone Stereo
We’re very happy to be speaking today with acclaimed Punk Rock 5-piece band Gone Stereo; greetings and salutations, gang! Before we dive down the proverbial Q&A musical rabbit hole, could you each say ‘hi’ and introduce yourselves to our ever-inquisitive readers? Well hello, my name is Matty and I provide the vocals. Mike here, and I play the bass Chris, six stringer flinger and almost harmony singer Josh, lead licks Jason, I just keep everyone in time. Major congratulations on your freshly-minted new single I’m So Sick which is paired with its backing side Cool Kids! Matty, what served as the inspiration for this rousing new anthem? When I was writing the lyrics for I’m So Sick, I had a lot on my mind. I was dealing with a falling out with some very close friends, I was frustrated, disappointed and felt stuck in this perpetual circle. I was so sick of my thoughts and
would sit there and wonder, when was all of this just going to go away? I recall showing everyone a rough demo and once the guys added their magic to it, it became one hell of a catchy tune. I’m truly delighted that through these lyrics, I get to share my feelings with everyone. Mike, no less of a respected powerhouse than John Naclerio did the producing honors on the I’m So Sick single while Chris Badami did the mixing. What was the collaboration process like between the band with John and Chris while in the studio working on the single? John is a wonderful person and he is very patient as an engineer. He makes certain that you’re giving him only the best performance and that it is on point. Nowadays, it is more convenient and cost effective just laying down your own guitar tracks at home, but having that extra set of ears and knowledge is what makes the recording process much, much better.
