FROM DAVAR AND BEYOND
The Shrill has been in the studio
now since early August 2009. We have
been working with the very talented
producer/songwriter/musician, Tom
Chandler. This Debut album for The
Shrill has been an amazing experience

for us all. We decided to make the al-
bum really mean something not only to
us, but to everyone who hears it. It is
our first full-length album as The Shrill
and the number one goal during the
whole process was “No Boundaries.”
We are going for a simple yet extremely
aggressive approach to the songwriting
and production of this album. We col-
lectively thought about creating a con-
cept album. Being highly influenced by
film and acting, we felt it was more
natural to create an album that has more
depth to it than just ten “singles”. All
and all, the goal and hope has been to
make something that will touch listeners
in multiple ways.
Being affected by the economy and
unemployment rates over the past year,
I felt it was extremely natural to tie this
issue into the concept of the album.
WHERE:

V O LU M E 1, I S S U E 1
Without giving too much away, the
concept consists of five different true
stories/lives of people or situations that
have been affected by the recent reces-
sion. The album consists of ten songs
which feature each story and how they
all affect each other and cross paths by
the end of the album. Issues such as
materialism, adultery, unemployment,
love, and murder are just a few of the
main themes of the album. The interest-
ing part of the process has been to con-
nect each song/story with money or lack
thereof. The writing process has been
very collective and open between the
band and Tom in the hopes of making
the best album possible.
I hope you all enjoy the album as much
as we do and continue to experience
more joy with every listen!

THE S HRILL
TOM CHANDLER OFF THE RECORD...or is he on it?
He is a man of few words, but many
empty booze containers. A man of
metal and mayhem. Tom Chandler is
one of the greatest people The Shrill has
had the opportunity to work with.
Hailing from the little city of Montrose,
CA, this 30 something man has a lot to
offer. His 6 foot 2 build and wonderful
aroma makes one wonder, can the world
be conquered by a white boy from
Utah?
In the music world, the answer is yes.
Tom is currently putting finishing
touches on the new Shrill album and is
also starting pre-production with two
other “up and coming” bands - Dia-
mond Lane and those southern gentle-
Pop Culture News: Pride, Tiger’s Splinter
It may be a disservice to add to the me-
dia avalanche that has buried Tiger
Woods in the last 2 months. But unless
Tiger becomes a fan of The Shrill in
January, he will probably never bother
to read this opinion piece. But a part of
me wishes he would, because I think
Tiger is in dire need of some advice.
Our media based society and desire for
instant gratification has placed more
emphasis on shock value then ever be-

A man of many instruments, Tom sings,
plays guitar, bass and a whole lot more.
Previous albums with Tom at the helm
include “Raven’s Parade”, “Gun Metal
Groove” and our favorite Sunset Strip
boys, “Cast of Kings.”
Not only does Tom act as a producer,
but he also engineers, performs and
mixes most of the music that comes
from his small, yet sophisticated studio.
With only a few breaks to let Sheila

Subway, Tom is a hard working force.
Supported by his beautiful, yet mysteri-
ous woman of the Orient, Tom will be

more than sacrificing our pop idols, we
love to forgive them. Where would
anybody be without a good dose of
forgiveness? No sooner is forgiveness
asked for in the public sphere, then the
winds of change (Scorpions!) turn peo-

would have initially admitted to screw-
ing up, two years later, everyone would
have said, “Tiger, he’s not such a bad
guy. Who wouldn’t give into that temp-
tation?”

• Merch. Girl: The

attractive, semi-responsible women to
sell the hottest fashions on the Sunset
strip. Compensation includes a picture
of Zak, letter of reference from Harry,
invaluable work experience, and
“precious valuables donated from
some of the richest families in all of
Germany.”
Some album names have become synonymous with greatness: “Abbey Road”, “Who’s
Next”, “Rumors”, “Nevermind” and “Okay Computer” just to name a few. Ultimately,
the job of a great album name is to capture the vibe of a band and the essence of the
songs themselves. In a sense, an album’s name should be a composite of all the band’s
great qualities that exist within that time and place.
All of this philosophical meandering set aside, there are some great album names that
will never be used because they would discredit the band in the eyes and ears of the
listener before a single note would be heard. My friend Dan and I were laughing hys-
terically over New Years when we started coming up with joke album names. We or-
dered some prawns sautéed in a cumin Cajun sauce and thought a great album name
would be “Cumin in Your Face”. On the cover, the lead singer would be in the back-
ground, shaking cumin flakes towards the camera. During the Rose Bowl, Oregon got a
penalty in which Brent Musberger said, “The Ducks are going to have to start deep in
their end zone.” Great album name, “Deep in Your End Zone”. So many connotations.
Needless to say, neither of these names will be used for The Shrill’s debut album.
