DA 27 frontman on the recent release of 'City on Fire':
"This album was partially written by DA27 as a band around 2012 then from 2013 to 2015 Mike and I worked together to finish writing and recording everything.
Mike handled his guitar parts, producing, and engineering while I took care of the rest of the guitars, bass, drums, vocals/lyrics, editing and mixing. When it came to the final touches on the album we just couldn't agree on some stupid thing or another and the completed tracks ended up sitting in my google drive ever since.
Honestly, it was probably all my fault.
The album was originally meant to be titled "Many Legged Beast" but instead I made an executive decision to re-title it "City on Fire". Honestly, the primary reason was that the best artwork I had available was an old sticker design back from when we were promoting a song with the same name. Also, it feels accidently appropriate in 2020 with the entire world burning down around us...
Anyway, I've always felt like this was a killer album so I just couldn't let it sit there and be forgotten... and even though I was an absolute mess of a person back then, I'm still so incredibly proud of it as an artist.
For these reasons anyone objecting to the release of this album can suck it.
