Feels good to finally get this out :)

Dylan Trudeau

rob this is amazing! i’m so happy with your singing.

RobScallon

Thank you!!! It’s been a decade or so since I’ve put out any serious songs stuff I hope people like it

Dylan Trudeau

i’m so glad you decided to make an actual album again. I am extremely excited for the release! Have you had any thoughts of doing a live show of the album in chicago after release?

RobScallon

Much much thanks! We’ll be releasing tracks going up to the release too and some extra stuff here for patrons :) I would absolutely adore to perform these songs live but it’s just not logistically possible right now I do have a live event in the cards right now at Kuma’s corner sometime after the next FOO release But we haven’t gotten the details down yet And we’ll probably just be more or a Q&A type thibg

Dylan Trudeau

i’ll be there if it ends up happening! even if it is just q&a lol, but it would be so amazing to hear this or anything FOO live.

forkstick

so happy for a new album, i've probably spun my copy of the anchor vinyl more than any other record at this point.

RobScallon

That’s so awesome to hear :) I’m glad I put together those songs specifically for that vinyl release and I’m really glad there are people out there still spinning it Hope this one finds some good reps too haha

Christopher Buecheler

Great work! The midwest emo guitars actually work really well with the metal beats, which I have to admit I was a little unsure about. I think you've really grown a lot as a singer over the years, and it's cool to see you putting together a whole new album that you didn't conceive and record in a single day (not that I don't love FOO, because I do). Wishing you all the best with it!

Rhys “Goobleoob” Morgs

Absolutely love it! Just Preordered and cannot wait to hear the whole album on vinyl!

Jeanine McCarthy

Fantastic! Hey, I'm SUPER excited for this album, Rob!

PatBoBomb

Damn that clean run at the beginning and later is really fun to play. Can't quite figure out the end of the phrase, but I'm loving noodling to it. Any chance we'll get a second channel "How to Blast your beats and melodies" tutorial?

RobScallon

that's awesome dude, really cool to hear. If you post you playing it on IG, go ahead and tag me if you'd like us to reshare it the first to learn the riff and I love doing lesson videos for my songs but I don't think we'll be able to sneak that in with everything on this project. maybe someday. and honestly, I do not remember how to play the bulk of the album most of my guitar performance in the music video is just flat out wrong haha

RobScallon

I was unsure about it as I was even making it too. Every time I would listen to it, I'd like it more until I really resonated with the sound. and thank you so much! I'm trying my best haha and I hope people enjoy it. The songs certainly mean a lot to me.

Mythical Dragon06

Really cool to see another album comin out from you! Your one of the people that got me into making music and playing guitar so this is really awesome to see!

Aristea Juniper (they-she)

love the contrasting intensity between the different sections as well as the genre mashup, very excited for the full crowded rooms album!! jessica always kills it on the drums, and it's awesome to hear you two playing together once again :) side note, i used your clean guitar stem (and messed with the cadence and tempo and key) to make a short looped sample for a little folksy hip-hop lofi song - it was cool to start a project with audio from one of your songs!

RobScallon

Thank you so much :) And yes, working with Jessica is awesome. The album really came alive once she got in the studio and replaced all the pre-pro drums Glad you enjoyed using the stems :) Would love to hear it if you got a link for it Or if it’s on ig, you could just tag me there. We regularly look for covers to repost there so anything I’m tagged in I’ll see
