It’s been a long time. A very long time.

Mike, Maury and I have been working on and off over the years to put together a new collection of Foonspeeders songs. It’s been a part-time thing that has involved collaboration from Cleveland to California, slowly getting the pieces and parts together.

Last year after the successful completion of the Thomas Reed Smith Band’s album “Out On Your Own“, which had also been lingering for a decade, we were motivated to finally finish this collection of tunes. Our goal was to have it all wrapped up by the end of 2011, but we’ve spilled over into this year a bit – not a big deal, since we’re releasing it on our own and it’s not like there’s a real “deadline”.

We’re getting very close now – almost everything is tracked, and mixes are coming together. The cover art is looking tremendous (more on that in another post).

And we’ve got a title for the new record: Open Your Mouth

More to come…
