Haste The Day reform, crowdfunding $65K for new LP

Indiana band Haste The Day, who disbanded in 2011, have reformed and will be crowdfunding a new studio album. The group had the following to say:
In May of this year, we celebrated the 10 year anniversary of the release of our first studio album Burning Bridges. Needless to say, the experience brought a lot of memories back for all members of Haste the Day, past and present. After the gig, Stephen (vocals), Mark (long-time friend and manager) and I (Mike) started talking about what it would look like to put out another album. Needless to say, this was a complex decision making process, but something we all wanted to do. As is the case with all things in life: if something is worth doing, it's worth doing right! So we spent a lot of time determining the best way to make our 6th full-length studio album. Who would write, who would perform, how would we involve all members of the band in the project in one way or another? You see, we are all friends & brothers and so we wanted to give all the guys an opportunity to participate in one way or another. At the same time, we want to make the best album we can, one that would thrill fans of all eras of Haste the Day. So, here's the scoop: Stephen, Jimmy, Brennan, Scotty, Mike, Giuseppe will be the core writers for the new album, which has yet to be named. Dave will be providing additional writing input as well as helping with guitars and guitar tone during the recording process. Stephen will be producing the album, which we will record in Nashville, Tennessee. In addition, The Burning Bridges era of Haste the Day will also be writing and performing one song for the new album. For those of you not familiar with that album or the lineup that made it, Jimmy, Jason, Mike, Brennan, and Devin will be writing and recording the song for the album. We have already begun writing the album and we will begin recording the album in January of 2015. Expect lots of video updates along the way. For all of our backers, expect to get glimpses of the new music as we demo the songs and prepare for the recording process.
Haste The Day has launched an Indiegogo campaign to fund the new album. They are seeking to raise $65,000 for the endeavor. You can check out and/or fund the campaign here.

Of course. Who isn't going to reunite now? 65k is fcking ridiculous. You can spend a week doing an album with the best producers in the genre for under 10k in 2014.

Translation: we want to relive our past "glories," but we don't want to put in any work to do it. So give us money so we can use 10% of it to record and then use the rest to pay our bills and buy drugs because we're fcking children. fck all bands crowd sourcing their records. Middle finger.

portslob 8/15/2014 10:23:34 AM

seriously.. if you're going to rip people off at least don't be fcking greedy. 10K i could buy, but 65K?!?! the fck you think you were, metallica?

koolguy 8/15/2014 10:26:00 AM

anonymous 8/15/2014 10:27:42 AM

anonymous 8/15/2014 10:30:33 AM

sadly, chumps with fond memories of mediocre mid-2000's metalcore will totally give this band money to record a steaming turd. dipshits

anonymous 8/15/2014 10:43:09 AM

Welp, they already raised $5,000 today. People are such suckers.

anonymous 8/15/2014 10:44:15 AM

anonymous 8/15/2014 11:09:26 AM

Anyone that gives these idiots money deserves a beating

anonymous 8/15/2014 11:11:34 AM

People who had long hair and now have side parts are going to fund this record.

RickRock 8/15/2014 11:28:00 AM

Let's go with "no" on this one.

anonymous 8/15/2014 11:54:22 AM

Incentives (estimated): $10,070.00 about 16% of that 65k will go directly into their pockets. i see this type of action as straight up begging. no different than any bum on the street. pathetic

fck you how about that. A decent recording costs less $8,000. why don't you stay broken up since no one cares in the first place.

anonymous 8/15/2014 12:33:52 PM

GOD HATES CROWDSOURCING

anonymous 8/15/2014 1:44:09 PM

Oh my God, this comment section..10k would hardly cover studio time and a self respecting engineer. Much less pressing and distribution, producer, etc. I work in recording studios and have a degree in Entertainment Business..65k is a very low budget

anonymous 8/15/2014 1:54:34 PM

hahahahahahahahaahahahahah ahahahahaha

anonymous 8/15/2014 2:26:39 PM

Haste The Day wants you to...waste your pay. Suck 65,000 dcks for a dollar. At least then I'd respect your efforts.

anonymous 8/15/2014 3:10:55 PM

Abandon All Ships breaks up and Haste The Day does a new record? Today is a good day

anonymous 8/15/2014 3:26:33 PM

saw this band in my teen years and thought they were terrible. But if you guys really need the dough, ill donate.

anonymous 8/15/2014 4:06:28 PM

fck Haste The Day. Not even 65k will make this new album worth listening to. Have some self respect, havent you ripped off enough christians already?

d0thack 8/15/2014 4:12:19 PM

Jimmy <3 fck yeah.

anonymous 8/15/2014 4:23:12 PM

65k is a low budget to record an album, are you fcking kidding me? I've worked with bands in the past years or two who have have recorded with will yip, sturgis, Jamie king, Ross Robinson....all under 10k. This is a scam

anonymous 8/15/2014 4:56:57 PM

This band sucked ten years ago, and it sucks now. No, you cannot have any of my hard earned jiffy lube money.

anonymous 8/15/2014 4:58:38 PM

"fck all bands crowd sourcing their records. Middle finger." THIS^ LOL

anonymous 8/15/2014 5:10:49 PM

Why does everyone hate crowdfunding? You pre-order an album, the band makes it. You get it. End of it. If you hate the band you don't buy it.

anonymous 8/15/2014 5:11:04 PM

Ignorant people on here, you think no one deserves to make money with music? Who cares if they do? They are a band and THEIR fans are paying. Music can be a part of someones income wether it's a little side cash or making a living. All of you make yourselves look so stupid when you get pissed at this crowd funding shit. Grow the fck up.

anonymous 8/15/2014 5:18:05 PM

Eat 65k dcks.

What a fcking scam. Jump of a cliff you fcking scumbags. You didn't even profit 65k when you were active.

anonymous 8/19/2014 1:22:12 AM

For $2500 your band could open up for us. Go fck yourself.

anonymous 8/19/2014 12:17:15 PM
