New Bruises

Here we are. Jb and I in my living room working on new Bruises songs. This new EP is going to be a bit different. First, we are writing everything in our own houses and using garage band as our songwriting base instead of jamming as a full band in our practice space until the song comes together. 2ndly we are driving to LA to work on preproduction with Michael Eisenstein (Letters to Cleo). WE have never really worked with someone who is a musician and can listen and give us an ear and help make our songs the best they can be. This past year has been really tough for the both Jen and I. OF course, all we've wanted to do was play and write music, but life doesn't always allow you to do the thing you love. Finally, almost a year later, we are emerging with some new material and probably our most honest EP yet. In writing we are figuring out that we're changing, our music is growing along with us. WE don't have a drummer, we've given up our practice space. WE are literally playing and writing music right now because we really love it and it makes us happy. Next time you see The Bruises live who knows what the stage will look like. There could be 4 of us, 6 of us, or just 2 of us and one rocking laptop. This video was taken on a Monday. Neither of us work on Mondays. Jen came over to help work on a song I started but needed her to finish. That's the way all of our songs go. WE need the other one to put in that secret ingredient and make it complete. Can't wait to record !
