Hey friends!
Time for a long overdue update about what is happening in Scraps Of Tape-land.
2014 was a weird year for us in many ways, a lot of ups and downs, triumphs and losses.
We released our fifth album “Sjätte Vansinnet”, an album we’re very very proud of, and we did a little bit of touring
to support it, but due to various reasons there were some troubles and we kind of lost a bit of steam and pep.
To not burn ourselves out we kind of came to an unspoken agreement to step back a bit and take a bit of a break from the old cycle we’ve been going through since the early 2000s. Better to cool it for a while than push on without really feeling it, right? We’ve all stayed busy with various projects during this break and we’ll try to do an update soon about all of that. Exciting things are happening for all members outside of the SOT-bubble as well!
Last weekend we got together in the ol’ rehearsalspace for the first time since about November and continued work on what’s shaping up to be our next release. We’re psyched and excited to be playing again, and we’ve got skeletons for about 6 or 7 songs written already and many ideas to try out and riffs to arrange. We’ve also started to look into possible dates for a few shows this autumn, but nothing decided yet.
The noble beast lives. Hope all of you are well, and that we might see you waving back to us from the audience sometime soon.
Sincerely, Scraps Of Tape
can a brother hope that you’ll resurface in 2017? Hope you’re all doing well. Feel free to come to Gotland and do a low-stress show 🙂
Hey Mark!
Thank you for these words! We’re heading into the studio early 2017 to record a new album, so chances of more activity in 2017 are definitely up! Would love to come to Gotland and play! Let’s set something up! Please email us at info@scrapsoftape.com or write us on Facebook and we’ll sort something out! /j
Oh, that’s fantastically great news. Will post on FB. Thanks for the crazy quick response!
Thank you! Such a crazy coincidence that I was updating the site for the first time since about February today when you comment came in. 🙂
