For all of my readers interested in the Unsmokable Brokes, the album is progressing at a modest yet exciting rate.
This past weekend four drum tracks for the album were laid down. I am not talking about using a midi program to place-hold. With the assistance of a amazing drummer and friend, Josh, real recordings were put together that offer something no computer technology can match. The sound is raw and real. It is something that I think listeners will really enjoy when the album is finished.
I am working on getting some drum samples together so people can hear what it is like before they are mixed, but I can't make any promises. Everyone might have to wait until it is all packaged together. However, that goes against the transparency purpose of my blog, so I'm doing my best.
For now, just be reassured that progress is being made and all or any anticipation will pay off when it comes together.

for some reason Matt, i'v never had ANY trouble commenting on your blog. Who knows whats going on, but everytime the little window box pops up and asks me to put in the verification word and all that good stuff... but with the other blogs, no dice.
thanks for coming out to the show, hope you had a good time and all.
Glad to see the boys are doing some recording, its always fun, especially when you are working in a relaxed and pleasant environment, ideally with as many friends as possible.
I'd love to hear what you guys have, and also would be willing to do some analog recording and all that in the future if the dudes were interested.
What software are they using? Microphones? tricks? anything?
Ben, currently Garage Band is the software of choice. I can't remember the exact mics used but there were 2 tom mics, snare mic, bass drum mic and 2 overheads for cymbals all running thru a line 6 firepod.
Just a quick update since Matt has been slacking a little bit... All of the drums have been tracked. Bass is next on the list, I do believe 5 or so songs have had bass recorded for them.
