20 JANUARY, 2016
ALBUM UPDATE

I…WANNA ROCK N ROLL ALL NIGHT!!!

Happy Paul Stanley’s Birthday to all of you hahaha

Happy 2016 Everyone!!

Im incredibly excited to tell you that I will begin Pre Production on my record during the last week of January!!!!! If you don’t know what that means, I’ll feed ya baby bird original.gif Pre Production is when we plan out all aspects of the recording process. From what days are set aside to record each instruments parts, to bringing in a choir (I like to dream BIG! After all this record is MINE, NOT a record labels).

After Pre Production we BEGIN RECORDING DURING THE MONTH OF FEBRUARY!!!!!

NOW…I don’t have a release date set or have one in mind…BUT I am planning on using part of the Pledged funds to send a single to Rock Radio in the Spring!!!!! That will get the buzz going and set the stage (so to speak) for the album’s release.

I’ll update you all again REALLY REALLY SOON!!

Keep On Rockin’ In The Free World!!

I'm very curious to see how this works out. Smackdown is a really good song, had a band like Shinedown or Papa Roach released it, it would easily become a top 10 hit on Active Rock. The question is whether James can make it a hit there, and without a label backing him to boot. I'm rather surprised that he can even afford to do this. Pushing singles to radio costs money, though Active Rock is a much smaller, and less costly, format than CHR and even HAC. Maybe he's scored some kind of licensing, sponsorship or promo deal with some well known brand, could be as this song sounds very WWE, who knows. Well this has my attention and I hope it works out for him cause the song is good.
