Jammin’ and Fear Zero on www.sellaband.com/fearzero
Had a fun time last night at my buddies b-day party. Sometimes it’s fun to just get together a bunch of ragtag musicians and play music for the sake of music, no worries about playing music people can dance to, or making sure you don’t play anything too crazy and get fired from the gig lol. We just created for a solid 2 hours, making up songs, melodies, chord progressions and then improvising over all of it. 5 minute long solos, 15 minute long jams centered around creativity. I always have fun doing that sort of stuff and I don’t get to often enough as life gets in the way of that (gotta pay the bills).

Whole Damn Nation nearly completed!
Hey everyone, it has been a while so hello! I have been extremely busy recording but also working (any musician without a day job these days is a poor musician lol!)
After many all nighters and thousands of dollars, I am happy to say that “Whole Damn Nation” is nearly finished. Right now we are in the mastering stage where all the levels and equalization get evened out.
The last recording session was an all night one, just me and my guitar in a studio somewhere in North Surrey from 10pm to 7am. It was an awful night and here is why:
Whole Damn Nation Album Art
The release of Whole Damn Nation is drawing close, so I thought it be a good idea to give everybody a sneak peak of the album art.
The album cover was designed and illustrated by digital artist Petr Hlavizňa, who did a fantastic job of capturing Ed as he stands fearless, guitar in tow.
Stay tuned for track listing and release date information!
The plan
Hey, hope you all had a great summer like I did! I just got back from San Francisco a couple of weeks ago. Great city, cool sites!
The 2 Fear Zero shows in August went quite well, considering it was the first time all 4 of us have ever graced a stage together in over a year. We performed a mix of old tunes and new ones to a couple of crowds over 1,000 which was pretty damn cool! Hopefully we can snag a nice tour with a bigger act so we can get out and play some more.
Video and fan o’ the month
Hey everyone, hope your summer has been as great as mine has! We have a some shows coming up August 8 and 9 in Victoria and we need your smiling mugs to be front row center when we shoot a couple of videos at the beginning of our second set at Western Speedway. For info, go to the “Tour” page. The videos will be for the songs Whole Damn Nation and Last Photograph so get your lighters ready!
A while back, Eric sent out an e-mail regarding our street team.
Fear Zero gets studio tanned
Hey everyone, just got a good head start on my studio tan. Sorry the blog is late but we have been working like dogs for days now getting final pre-production done on the new tracks.
Pre-pro is where the producer comes in and basically changes any song arrangements that need to be changed (minimally on these songs thank goodness) and then goes through drum arrangements to make sure every fill, every groove, every nuance of the drum track is exactly what the song needs. Very time consuming and boring at times but very necessary for the final quality of the drum track. Gone are the days of drinking all day, heading to the studio at midnight to pop some acid then record a whole album in one take. Recording is a science now.
Demos Finshed & Video of the “Octane” Guitar Solo
Hey y’all, I have finished demoing the 22 tracks that are being considered for the new Fear Zero release “Whole Damn Nation.” It is good to finally be done this part of the process as it is the most labour intensive of all in my opinion. I have narrowed it down to about 10 or 11 songs that are going to be considered for the 5 slots that we have available for the new CD.
In case you had not figured out yet, we are actually taking 5 songs from our last CD “In Lights” and are repackaging it with 5 new songs and a guitar solo called Octane that, if you have been reading the blogs, you are aware of already.
