For the past month and a half or so Punknews has been premiering a new track off of Try Harder, the new EP from Ontario's Bad Buzz, about every two weeks. Well, the day is finally here and we are excited to premiere the new EP in its entirety!
However, we'll start first with the final track for those who just want to jump to something new. "Hangin' On" starts out small, and works its way up to a big ending:
As for this funky schedule which saw each song made available in a staggered timeframe, let the band what it meant for each song as well as the EP as a whole:
"Try Harder" is a collection of five songs inspired by five different styles of punk rock. They work when packaged together, but they also work as stand-alones, which is why we decided to release each track individually over the weeks leading up to today. The only track not previously released on its own is 'Hangin' On,' which really stretches the definition of what we consider punk rock. The record was recorded live off the floor at Boxcar Sound Recording in Hamilton with Matt Gauthier producing (who we also worked with on "Far From Home").
It all falls into place now!
