The Sheepdogs announce new EP coming out November 7th titled “Hell Together” and drop first single from the release titled “Handle My Biz” with visualizer video
Hot on the tail of their surprise E.P. drop at the end of August, (Paradise Alone) the story continues with those hard-working Canadians The Sheepdogs announcing another E.P. Hell Together coming out this November 7th. Hell Together is the second release on their own newly minted label Right On Records, celebrating their independence with a fresh approach to releasing music, The Sheepdogs demonstrate again their eschewal of the traditional album cycle, delivering this second E.P. this year.
The multi-platinum and four-time JUNO-award winning quintet, who are celebrating their 20th Anniversary this year, recorded this new set of songs in Toronto at Taurus Recording this last summer. Produced by frontman Ewan Currie with Thom D’arcy (a long-time collaborator who worked on Changing Colours and Outta Sight) as recording and mixing engineer.
"We've been busy this year" states bassist Ryan Gullen, "The road is a big part of what we do but we don't want to hold ourselves back from continuing to release new music. With launching our own label, the goal is to always be releasing new music at a much quicker frequency. When we could, we hit the studio in Toronto between shows and threw down these songs on record. A bit of a different vibe from Paradise Alone but also in the same spirit. This new way allows us to experiment a bit more and just go for it on songs when the inspiration hits."
“It was good coming back to work with Thom. We did it because we needed to do something that was quick and convenient, but it was good.” Explains Ewan “The time apart was good for us, and there are pluses and minuses to being down south versus Toronto. We got along really well and worked really quickly. Thom’s a guy I’ve worked on many things for many years with and one thing that’s good about us is that we both learned from all the work we do, either separately or together. And we really grow from it. Every project you learn something and you apply it in the next one. All music is information and growth and getting better. It’s an education and we never stop and we keep getting better as a band.”
…And that’s The Sheepdogs all over. Still raising their own bar, twenty years on. Still looking for the next thoughtful detail. Still writing songs that feel timeless – songs to fall in love with. Now with the power to release what they want, when they want, you might say they’re just getting started.
