After surprise releasing their latest album, “A Day To Remember’s Big Ole Album Vol. 1“, exclusively on physical formats earlier today, February 18th, A Day To Remember have now shared a pair of new singles from it. The songs “LeBron” and “Make It Make Sense” have both now hit leading digital service providers and can be heard below. The above-mentioned album will make its way to streaming on March 21st.
In a new interview with with Kerrang! ,vocalist Jeremy McKinnon was asked if material was already in the works for a second volume, to which he replied:
“There is another album, yes. It’ll be its own entirely separate thing that comes later. We’ve got quite a bit done for Vol. 2, but it’s not quite finished yet. What will be cool is that we can react to what people like about Vol. 1, and write more towards that. That’s a place we’ve never been before, to adjust in real time like that to give the fans more of what they liked, and less of what they didn’t. That feels exciting to me.”
In addition to explaining how an idea suggested by Bring Me The Horizon‘s Oli Sykes landed him a songwriting credit on the record, McKinnon also spoke of channeling Gojira and Coal Chamber‘s Dez Fafara on the song “Silence“:
“That’s funny that you say that, because that song is obviously very inspired by them. We also worked with Cody Quistad [Wage War] on this record, who I love writing with, and he was messing around one day and just went, ‘(Makes riff noise).’ That whole chorus immediately popped into my head – I’ve no idea why, or where it came from. It took me back to this time when I was a kid, when I had a buddy who was super into heavier music.
He had gotten me into the first Coal Chamber record, and I had always said to him, ‘I can do that [Dez Fafara] voice, y’know!’ He would make me do it in front of him to prove it. Hearing that song from Drew made me think all that way back and be like, ‘I could do that voice on this song…’ I think it sound fucking crazy. It’s my dad’s favourite song on the record – every time I saw him, he’d make sure we had kept it on there!”
