Rock My Monkey recently conducted an interview with
AM CONSPIRACY/ex-
DROWNING POOL vocalist
Jason "Gong" Jones. The chat is now available for streaming using the audio player below.
AM CONSPIRACY's self-titled debut album will be released on January 12, 2010 via
Burnhill Union Records (a newly launched independent label from Chicago). A song from the CD,
"Pictures", is available for streaming at
this location. The track was mixed by
Randy Staub, who has previously worked with
METALLICA,
NICKELBACK and
ALICE IN CHAINS, among others.
"AM Conspiracy" was recorded earlier thie year at
Belle City Sound studio in Racine, Wisconsin with producer
Chris Djuricic (
NOVEMBERS DOOM bassist).
Jones recently told
AOL's
Noisecreep about
AM CONSPIRACY's upcoming CD, "It's 13 songs, all very different from each other. We try to mix it up and keep it going. We did it because a lot of records that have been coming out lately, in my opinion, sound like one long song. We try to steer away from that as far as possible. So it's got a good mixture of different emotions that hopefully it'll take people through. It has different kinds of music. Some stuff's real heavy. Some stuff's pretty light."
AM CONSPIRACY was recently rejoined by guitarist
Rob DeHaven.
The band's lineup features core members
Jones,
Kenny Harrelson (bass) and
Dean Andrews (drums) alongside guitarist
Drew Burke.
In early 2007,
AM CONSPIRACY signed with
Corporate Punishment Records and began work on its first release with
Rae DiLeo (
FILTER,
ARMY OF ANYONE). Shortly after signing, the band parted ways with the label and released a four-song EP entitled
"Out of the Shallow End". Two of the tracks off the EP (
"Absence" and
"Far") were featured in regular rotation on
XM Radio's
SquiZZ, Europe's
Kerrang!, and various FM stations across the U.S.
"Right On Time" (another track off the EP) and
"Welt" (previously unreleased) were part of the
"WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2008" soundtrack.
