PropertyOfZack sat down with Joe Boynton of Transit and talked about the evolution of his writing for the band's next album.

From The Interview

It’s a really natural writing process. It’s like we’re writing the way we used to with Stay Home andThis Will Not Define Us. The songs don’t sound the same, but it’s the method and sequence of how we’re writing the songs. It’s a similar recipe, but it’s not coming to come out the same. Listen & Forgive was completely different. It could sound similar, but songs like “Over Your Head” and “Skipping Stone” grow as they move along. That’s what we’re trying to hone in. We want that growing build up. You have a climax in a song and there’s momentum. It...

Update: Chris Taylor, the former drummer, has sent us a message that he wasn't kicked out of the band, rather he and the band mutually agreed to part ways. You can watch his brief statement here.

Abandon All Ships have kicked out its drummer.

PropertyOfZack recently interviewed Nick Ghanbarian of Bayside. They discussed plans for writing and recording new music, record label shopping, and much more.

From The Interview

We’ve got to start hammering out what label is going to be best for us. In a perfect world, we’ll go back with Gil again. He was the best we’ve ever worked with and put our best foot forward with him. It’d be great to have that again. Maybe do it in a different state. We did it in Woodstock and Hoboken. It’d be cool to go to California. Your surroundings to reflect on the album. That’s why Shudder sounds happy to me; we were all in California under the sun. In a perfect world, we hope that’s an option.

PropertyOfZack is premiering a brand new song from Half Hearted Hero titled "River" here. It's off the band's upcoming January release Whatever, which, in my opinion, is one of the better pop-punk albums I've heard in a while.

In a recent interview with PropertyOfZack, Taking Back Sunday noted that they will be renting a house again to demo and write the rest of their record in early 2013. It's unknown if the band is still with Warner.

From The Intervew

Adam: That’s still left to be seen. I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but rock music isn’t doing that well right now because people just steal it. It’s interesting because with pop or country music, that’s still selling well. The demographic isn’t stealing as much.
John: It’s also being played on the radio.

In a recent interview with PropertyOfZack, Sainthood Reps confirmed that they have left Tooth and Nail Records and have started writing material for its next album.

From The Interview

We were in Rolling Stone. I thought that was cool for a bunch of dudes who put out a record without a label. That is pretty cool and made my parents real proud.

PropertyOfZack recently interview Ben Liebsch of You, Me, And Everyone We Know and discussed the future of the band.

From the Interview

I’m very hesitant to say that I’m definitely putting a band together and definitely playing shows, but finishing and hearing this EP has allowed me to see that I can do this sober and that I don’t have to be in some tortured state to write the way I was writing. I can look down that hole without being in it. That’s kind of what it was. It confirmed for me that I’m able to do this without a compromised mental and abusive situation. In theory, if all goes well, I’m hoping to put a band together over the next few months once I’m settled in Pennsylvania and...

PropertyOfZack recently sat down with Kellin Quinn of Sleeping With Sirens. In the interview, Quinn revealed that the band will begin recording its new album in January with Cameron Mizell.

From The Interview

We haven’t as a band come together yet, but I have a lot of ideas that I’m really excited about. We all have ideas. We’ve started to show each other some of them, but once we get done with touring we’ll get together and start working on new stuff. Hopefully we can go to the studio in February or March. We’ll have to see how it goes. That’s the plan for now.

From The Interview

You have to be careful. It’s their job to want to make you bigger. It’s your job as an artist to stand for what you know is right. You can’t bend too far for the sake of making someone happy. I’ll be defending my artistic integrity till death. It got close last summer, but it’s so important to me. I have that vision that goes a lot further down the road. I’ll take that to the grave with me. I’ll be defending good songs and will be saying things I want to say. It’s...

You can check out PropertyOfZack's interview with The Maine here.

From The Interview

No Warner. The ideal position is to pay for the recording ourselves, have an album done, and see what happens from there. Whether that means signing a one record deal with somebody or trying our hand again independently. We’d also like to create worldwide distribution. We hadn’t had the means in the past. We recently teamed up with a record company from Italy that combined Pioneer and The Good Love together. We finally had physicals a year later. We’re interested in seeing our options. We don’t know who’s going to produce it yet, but we want to be in the hands of constructive criticism.
