We received 279 song submissions for the January songwriting contest. And, it quickly became clear that there are many definitions for “rock” out there. From acoustic ballads to power pop to full-blown metal, we heard a wide range of songs that could all be argued as “rock” (goes to show anyone that it is a difficult task to throw a label on any musical work!).

Because we relentlessly are grinding out new sample content, we have been pretty lax for the past 12-18 months about getting about material to the press. We get so busy recording, editing, producing, and releasing new material that it is often last on the list of things that get done.

When we released Double Bass Mania way back in 2004, nothing of its kind existed. Literally, there was nothing out there that was for metal songwriters and guitarists in terms of loop-based songwriting tools. If we remember correctly, this way before anything like Superior Drummer or the like was even around.
