DROWNING POOL Interviewed By EXTV

April 3, 2010

Nancy Jay of EXTV recently conducted an interview with bassist Stevie Benton and drummer Mike Luce of Texas heavy rockers DROWNING POOL. Watch the chat below.

DROWNING POOL will release its new, self-titled album on April 27 via Eleven Seven Music.

In a recent interview with Metalholic.com, DROWNING POOL guitarist C.J. Pierce stated about the band's new CD, "We have the same singer, instead of going through the whole switching singers thing here [as we did on the previous two records]. It's an advantage with Ryan [McCombs]. He's been with us for five years now. Usually when we make a new record, we have to find a new singer, find new management/labels. Ryan really goes above and beyond, he really pushes us to try and be better. He really opened up on this record. We're really comfortable with each other."

When asked if the band ever writes on the road, Pierce said, "For this record, honestly, it's the first time that we've done that. With the other records, it was kind of like, whenever we'd get time off, go to the house, we all get together… the first half of last year, we had some time off, so we hit it pretty hard. That was a lot of fun, working in that environment. We all had a lot of ideas to bring to the table. During Crüe Fest, whenever we would have a day off, we would go into the studio and demo some songs. We would get up seven, eight o'clock in the morning and get ready for an in-store signing or meet-and greet, a radio show. Rock bands get up early and have a full day just like everybody else. But we made it a point to take time to write and work on songs, all of us. This record's half-and-half. We were writing more music than we ever have. Going into writing this record, figuring out which songs would be on there, we could pick and choose. Some songs outshine others."

DROWNING POOL will guest on the nationally syndicated radio show "Rockline" with host Bob Coburn on Monday, April 26 at 8:30 p.m. PT / 11:30 p.m. ET. Fans are encouraged to speak with DROWNING POOL by calling 1-800-344-ROCK (7625).
