The time is almost at hand! Tracking has begun on the new Running Gags EP at long last! Since I announced our mighty return, I’ve gotten the same questions by quite a few people. In the interest of efficiency, I’ll answer the most common ones here.
Q. Will the new Running Gags have a “Ramones-core” sound?
A. For the most part,no. I’ve always felt that it was a rather limiting sub-genre. There might be some influence creeping in here and there, but I wouldn’t say it dominates the album.
Q. What will the new tracks be about?
I’m trying to avoid the usual puerile humor. Above all, the leitmotif seems to be personal dealings, dichotomies, and that sort of thing.
Q. Will it be an EP, a full-length album, or something else?
We’re not sure yet. We’re sort of shooting from the hip. We don’t have an endgame in mind, really. As three busy guys, we’re just recording whenever we can get together. Anymore, that’s harder to come across.
Q. When will it be released?
A. I hate to come off like one of those jerks who says “it’ll be done when it’s done,” but sadly that’s the case. Sorry.
