Death to the Details is part from Durham, part from Chapel Hill. Its members play rock music. They'd probably like you to think it's that simple.
Realistically, guitarists Brian and Betty are almost always playing something completely different. Justin is probably playing some really sweet riff again and again and again on the bass. And John is always looking for new ways to use his drums as a sonic weapon, pulling the group through each track without fail.
Mike Alston and I had a blast recording these folks, as you can see below. You'll also see some pictures of us nearing the end of the session, doing...gasp... OVERDUBS! Yes, this is one of the few times when we wanted just a few extra vocal tracks to thicken things up, so you will hear both Brian's live vocals and the extra overdubbed parts stacked on top of each other in this session. Check out the powerful doubled vocals on 'Eternities of Fraternities'.
As usual, you can download each of the four songs in this session for free below the photos. Our friend Matt Moore deserves a huge "thank you" for making it out to take some excellent photographs. Hold onto your ears; this session was both played and mixed LOUD!

Local Beat recap 3/27/09
So on Friday night Adam from A Rooster for the Masses stopped by with special guest James of Baltimore-based Scary River.
The reason for the occasion? ARFTM was playing at the Pour House that night alongside Scary River and the Desmonds, and playing another show Saturday night at The Cave in Chapel Hill alongside Death to the Details.
We chatted for the better part of an hour about everything from South by Southwest, which Scary River was on its way back from, to songwriting inspiration. Oh, and Adam gave away a copy of "Broken Era," the band's recently-released album, to a lucky listener.

Check out the complete interview, in 3 parts, below. And be sure to tune in this Friday right around 6:00 (courtesy of NC State Baseball), as we will have Scott Phillips of Goner in, along with potentially some very exciting other guests!

We'll be cut off by baseball right around 6:30, but that doesn't mean we won't rock it out for the first hour and a half. ARFTM will be playing at The Pour House on Friday night alongside Scary River and The Desmonds. Saturday night, they're heading over to The Cave with Death to the Details.
It promises to be a good time, so don't miss it!
