My son's band, new album

[volzfan59]

I hope this is ok to post. Just a dad, proud of one of his boys. Moderator's, if it needs to be moved, or removed, it's fine.

 

My oldest son, Josh, is an excellent guitar player and loves bass fishing! The last band he was in broke up after nine or ten years, having recorded four studio albums. Last fall, a local band asked him to sit in with them playing lead on their new album. He did and was later asked to formally join the band.

 

The new band is Handsome and the Humbles. The new album, "We're All the Same" was released Friday. The album release show was last night to a huge crowd in Knoxville. If you would like to hear the first single, it's on Spotify and everywhere else. It's called "The Sun's Gonna Rise (Don't Be Sad)". The single has been out for about a month and was picked up by a bunch of college and independent radio stations and is doing well. I would provide links, but to be honest, I don't know how.

You have a link to the recording or a sample?  As long as it isn’t a monetized site, I’d love to hear it, being a musician in a band myself.

Brother, I'm not tech savvy at all. It's all I can do to post and shop online!! I don't know how to link to Spotify, or anywhere else. All I know is it's on there. Have to search for "Handsome and the Humbles", then the single "The Sun's Gonna Rise (Don't Be Sad)". I started to not post as I don't know how to link to any of it. Couldn't help it, I'm a proud dad.

I’ll have to get Spotify and check it out. I know what goes into finishing an album, so congrats to your son and the band. It’s hard, emotional, and tedious work. It can sometimes test the band members  friendships with each other. The payoff is something you can be proud of.

All of the current line have known each other since high school and are really good friends, but your right, it was tough. Both of my boys are like me and are perfectionists. For him, it's never good enough. I know J Francho knows what I'm talking about.

The whole album is on Spotify. I'm at work right now and can't listen, but will start listening this afternoon on the way home.

 

I was in a couple cover bands from 2005-2015 and while we didn't record any albums we were in the studio a couple times recording demo covers and one original song. It was a blast! Good times good times...........

I found out today that it's also on "iTunes and everywhere else", whatever that means? They have two albums out. My son is only on the new one, "We're all the same". He's on some of their YouTube videos too.

 

It's pretty much a family joke that I'm not tech savvy. That doesn't stop them from calling about old school stuff, like working on cars, home repairs, etc, so I get in my jabs then. Crazy thing is, my wife has two computer science degrees. I use to quiz here before tests! None of it sunk in, absolutely none of it.

Cool.  Just grabbed it from Apple Music.

Finally got to listen to this, with a critical ear.  Not my favorite style, but this is excellent.  Reminds a bit of John Moreland, but not as depressing.  The production is silky smooth, and well mastered.  Thanks for sharing this!

I listened to a few of their songs on you-tube. Liked all of them.

Thanks Mike, J Francho and Steve-o! I'm really proud of him. Check, I'm proud of both my boys.
