Craig Owens: Life After Chiodos

In a recent interview with Alternative Press, Craig Owens talked publicly for the first time since being asked to leave Chiodos nine months ago.

It turns out Owens is working with a new band on a brand new record that will be released on Decaydance Records. They are currently doing pre-production with John Feldman (The Used, Goldfinger, Story of the Year) and will record in Mid-July:

We’re up to around 30 tracks now, and hope to go in [into the studio] with around 15 to 30 more on top of that. All of that is even before pre-production. So we’ll end up spending a ton of time writing even more songs with [producer] John Feldmann when we head out to begin the process, hopefully in mid- July. Due to the amount of projects I’ve been involved with in the past, I’ve been able to write in quite a number of different ways. Aaron, Nick and I continue to explore our musical tastes and talents and further push one another to write in different ways—all while staying as on top of our game.

[…]

We plan on beginning to record the album mid-July in Los Angeles, and with the way the music industry works, you have to go through a few stages after that before the songs are 100 percent ready for the world to hear. We do have around 30 demos lying around our iTunes accounts though, so maybe we’ll be able to share some of the tracks before too long. Obviously, we’d love to share the songs with everyone sooner rather than later. Sitting on something like the music we’ve created isn’t an easy thing at all.
