Round The Bin

jambesdecuir:

The eclectic group Round the Bin is set to release their second album DSDO June 15th. Giving a new meaning to confessional music, frontman Ricky Galvan strays away from the sound of the first EP “Same Insanity” yet stays true to Round the Bin’s tone.

-How does the first EP “Same Insanity” & the new full length album “DSDO” differ?
Rick: “I feel like DSDO is a lot more upbeat and abstract. It comes from a different angle than “Same Insanity” does.

-Which location from today’s photo shoot do you feel most impacted your life?
Rick: “Definitely by my grandma’s old house [near the church]. It makes realize where i stand.
Cj: Rhino Records. That atmosphere makes me want to write music.

-What does “DSDO” mean?
Rick: Doomed since day one. Meaning life’s hard, get used to it. [laughs]
Cj: Yeah, you’re born into a hard life.  Some people get through it and some people don’t.

-Did you learn any new techniques for this album?
Cj: We actually took our time on DSDO, we experimented a lot more and we were organized.
Rick: DSDO is diverse. It has a lot more flows and the production style is different. It’s like each song sounds like its from a different group.

-Any ideas for the next album?
Rick: We’re getting out of our comfort zone a little.  It’s a completely different style… [pauses] we don’t want to give too much away. [long pause] There’s a difference between making music and changing music.

-How connected are you to your fans?
Rick: [laughs] We know most of them personally. I wouldn’t be as motivated to make this album if I didn’t get as much feedback as I did on Same Insanity.

-Which lyric means the most to you on DSDO? Why?
Rick: “The job market is like bunch of bears around a beehive. Where honey is money so everybody makes a B line.”  Every young adult can relate to that line.
Cj: “We’re all alone here. No one to guide us.”  I feel like even though you have friends & family you have to do most things on your own.
