You Should Have Known

The interiors2.jpgThe wind whips through the small openings between the sky filling buildings at alarming speeds in this city. I know the origin of the term “windy,” but still the strength of the wind is quite measurable and substantial. So much so that it may on occasion slam doors, knock over trees, break the fingers of freshly signed rock trios, etc. That’s right the day after signing to 54-40 or Fight Records!, lead singer and guitar player of The Interiors, Chase Duncan had a metal door slam shut on his hand. At this point they had only self-released an ep, and needed to begin work on their full-length debut. Instead they spent most of 2007 on hiatus while Chase recovered.

Now fully recovered and preparing for the June 24th release and a following Midwest and East Cost tour, The Interiors have big plans for 2008. Rightfully so, their self-titled debut album is a turbulent lesson in rhythmic rock, filled with interesting drum patterns, calculated guitar, and inventive lyrics. The highlight of the album is the song “Power Lines,” it is grand in every way. From the fade in open to the sing-along chorus to the idea that you can knock everyone cell phone reception by touching a satellite. It is a fun look at life in Chicago.

The Interiors will be performing their last show in Chicago until Mid-July on Tuesday May 13th at The Empty Bottle. They will be appearing with Nouns and Mt. St. Helens. Tickets are $7 and the show starts at 9pm.
