Slumpin' the Knock They’ve been refining the album in late-night sessions – some times ‘til dawn – at studios around the Bay Area. Parts of the album were recorded at the Room Five studio, but the group has recorded everywhere from top-of-the-line million-dollar studios, to band members’ bedrooms, to a “straight-up utility closet.”

Rock is Death Some folks say rock 'n’ roll is dead. That may forever be up for debate, but regardless, a large part of rock ‘n’ roll is death.
