There’s only so much room in a print magazine, and there’s always great stuff that’s agonizing to cut. The following quotes might not be earth-shattering, but nevertheless it’s a part of the story I didn’t want to cut.<\/p>\n
Sometimes I wish I would have taken an editing class at UT. But another part of me is glad that I get so attached to words that are important to me. It’s hard to cut some of these things. I praise God for the vehicle of this website, where we can sort of add extra content. \u201cEver since then, I think I\u2019ve tried to work in reverse to make it more and more immediate – sing it once, maybe twice, and just don\u2019t lose the fire.\u201d<\/p>\n [Where the reunited band is now…] There’s only so much room in a print magazine, and there’s always great stuff that’s agonizing to cut.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":12,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[17],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-420","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-blog","cat-17-id"],"yoast_head":"\n
\n“I think, to a certain point, when we first started and made the first couple of Superdrag records, we didn\u2019t know anything. Prior to that we recorded on 8-track cassette. On the second record we tried to make this epic studio album. We recorded it with Jerry Finn, who passed away this past summer. That\u2019s why we dedicated this record to him. He used to call us \u2018HIGS\u2019 \u2013 Huge Industry Giants<\/em>. It was super meticulous and I think we squeezed some of the vibe off this record. We told Jerry we didn\u2019t want to fix anything in Pro Tools, which was foolish. But he was like, \u2018Okay, you\u2019re just going to keep playing and keep singing until it\u2019s as precise as I can make it in Pro Tools.\u2019<\/p>\n
\n\u201cIt\u2019s kind of like the end of the rainbow. We went through this whole mess and lived. The first song is called \u2018Slow To Anger.\u2019 It\u2019s like the book of James meets Superdrag. There\u2019s a lot of thanksgiving. The other guys wrote songs for the record and they totally jibes. It\u2019s not like we\u2019re butting heads.”
\nLord willing, I’ll put some more of this interview in a future HM Magazine Podcast. Look for it here.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
