"you pull me through with all of your kindness..." - from Dreamcrusher
SAN JOSE, CA -- Veteran San Jose alt-rockers London Down will release “Dreamcrusher,” their first studio album in nearly three years, on Friday, October 1.
The four-song indie EP was produced by Kevin Army (Green Day, Operation Ivy) and Dave Ristrim (Luke Bryan’s band), and recorded at band members’ homes in California and North Carolina. Army, who produced the band’s 1989 album “Birthday” under their moniker The Raging Marys, also mixed “Dreamcrusher.”
Justin Perkins (The Replacements, Bash ‘n Pop) mastered the album at Mystery Room Mastering in Wisconsin.
London Down will celebrate their new album with a record release party Friday, Oct. 22, at Quarter Note Bar in Sunnyvale, California. (Doors open at 8 p.m., show starts at 9 p.m.) Veteran South Bay band Grey Matter will open.
London Down is also launching a national college/community radio campaign to promote “Dreamcrusher.”
The band’s signature garage-band grit, jangly electric folk and punchy rock grooves remain unchanged from their early days when Bush One was president and R.E.M. ruled the college radio airwaves.
What has changed since forming at San Jose State University in 1985 is a depth the members could never have had when playing the Bay Area club circuit and opening for artists including Chris Isaak, Mudhoney and The Tragically Hip.
The EP’s opening track “Budokan” is a pop-punk basher that pays tribute to the band’s history, including opening as The Raging Marys for grunge pioneers Mudhoney at the famed Satyricon nightclub in Portland.
