Teenage Bottlerocket - Ready To Roll - Pop-punk veterans Teenage Bottlerocket are primed to their new LP Ready to Roll, the band's first full length for Pirates Press Records. InchThis time around, there was no big concept, no pressure. We just wrote songs that felt good to play,Inch explains bassist Miguel Chen. InchThat freedom brought something fresh. It reminded us why we started doing this in the first place. The vibe is all about reconnecting with the joy of making music together.Inch The band returned to The Blasting Room in Fort Collins, CO, with Andrew Berlin behind the board and Jason Livermore overseeing the final master. InchThe Blasting Room is like home for us,Inch says Miguel. InchWorking with Andrew and Jason is always a smooth ride-they know how to pull the best out of us.Inch Fans got their first taste of what's to come via the lead single InchShe's the Sht.Inch Ray Carlisle wrote the song for his wife Rachel, who he says Inchloves to give me a hard time-she rolls her eyes when I rock out in front of the mirror, makes fun of the music I love, and calls me an old man when I bring up movies she's never seen. And I totally love her for it.Inch As for the song, Ray says, InchIt kicks the door open. It sets the tone for the whole record-fast, catchy, and not taking itself too seriously. Just the way we like it.Inch This back to basics approach carries through the album, making it equally satisfying for longtime fans & newcomers alike. InchWhether it's your first TBR album or your tenth,Inch says Miguel. InchThere's something here for you.Inch It's packed with everything you'd expect from TBR with a few surprises the band think you'll love - including a couple of songs where Miguel steps up for his first-ever lead vocals! InchWe're lucky to still be here, making music with our best friends, and connecting with people who get it,Inch sums up Miguel. InchR
