:: Release Notes:
::
:: Destroy The Heart is singer/songwriter Darren Robbins, who
:: has enjoyed success at the indie level with three previous
:: releases (under his own name and that of Time Bomb Symphony)
::
:: Remember when radio rocked? Generations of rock fans grew up
:: listening to tons of great bands filling the airwaves.
:: Because you tended to hear more good songs than bad, we
:: became conditioned to reflexively turn on the radio the
:: moment weÆd get in the car. Nowadays, though, you turn the
:: radio on and are instantly filled with a desire to chuck the
:: darn thing out the window.
::
::
::
:: There were so many cool bands that one could easily run out
:: of wall space to hang posters of their favorite rock heroes.
:: We recall most vividly the poster of BlondieÆs Debby Harry
:: (circa 1981, sans bra) that was positioned just above my bed.
:: My dad noticed that one too, as I recall.
::
::
::
:: Truth be told, I didnÆt buy too many posters because then
:: that meant thereÆd be less money to spend on another cool
:: album or single.
::
::
::
:: Remember singles? I remember walking into the local hardware
:: store, which always carried the latest hit singles of the
:: day, and seeing the ôMy Sharonaö single, complete with
:: picture sleeve featuring the woman for whom the song had been
:: written (again, sans bra...notice a theme here?).
::
::
::
:: My decision to buy the single was instant. Aside from being
:: visually stunning, the music found within those grooves spun
:: my young head around and, truth be told, inspired me to
:: become a musician.
::
::
::
:: Not having the funds (or patience) for the guitar, I began
:: making noise on my dadÆs drum set and, before long, IÆd
:: formed my first band. Dad was kind enough to let me use his
:: kit for some of our early gigs, but as he was also in a band
:: at the time, there were some instances where we both had gigs
:: the same night. Thus, one of us (can you guess which one?)
:: was going to have to buy our own kit to avoid any further
:: scheduling conflicts.
::
::
::
:: A couple years ago, I found myself looking back for my rock
:: heroes because the ones on the current musical landscape just
:: werenÆt doing the trick. It was then that I walked out of
:: the cubicle farm and back into the rock world, armed with
:: only the belief that if nobody else was going to make music
:: that could stand shoulder-to-shoulder with the Cheap Trick
:: and Tom Petty albums of my youth then, fuck it, I would.
::
::
::
:: I know there are tons of people out there just like me,
:: hungry for music that makes the tiny hairs on the back of
:: your neck stand on end and makes you want to tell everyone
:: you know about it.
::
::
::
:: Destroy The Heart is the album we made with that in mind and
:: will tell you quite honestly that the work my producer Adam
:: Schmitt did to help me realize my musical vision succeeded in
:: making the tiny hairs on the back of my neck stand on end
:: when I heard the finished masters. And, as youÆve probably
:: figured out by now, I want to tell everyone I know about it.
::
::
::
:: (R.I.P. Dad, this oneÆs for you.)"
