CIMINO head back in the studio and get their new song by sending them to Rockfest 2015

April 30, 2015

One of our favorite bands, CIMINO have headed back in to the studio to record new music. We are so excited and can’t wait for what is in store with this hard working non stop rockin band. Here is the latest from CIMINO: As of April 2nd, 2015 CIMINO have entered the studio and began tracking for their next release. Conceptually, the band has taken a completely different approach overall in the writing, recording and engineering process. The group concurs that the project is completely unlike anything they’ve done thus far. “It’s still Rock and Roll, we’re still playing the same instruments, and our sound is still unique and identifiable to previous releases, but that’s about it,” says CIMINO. The influences for this record are a little bit more Rolling Stones, a little bit less Shinedown, and it really does show. We’re recording them in the fashion that they were intended when written. In regard to what we’ve recorded so far, there is absolutely no click track, drum triggers, and auto tune, we’re keeping the computer [Read More]
