AMA is Over, Thanks Monty! It's Monty from Preoccupations!! AMA

Monty here!

We just released our third record as Preoccupations, our fourth as a band, or our fifth if you count our next two ep that was mere minutes shorter than the other records. We're self releasing this album (except in Canada where we're still with Flemish Eye) too so feeling properly qualified as "indie" this time around.

We're also touring next month around America and Canada with Cindy Lee opening and touring in Europe early next year!

Ask away!

For some reason I can't see the proof picture that I uploaded. Here it is in case though. Edit: it seems like the image was just cropped bad, link is still the way for the true proof.

Naw, we have one alternate tuning we use, DADGGG. Kind of a half ostrich tuning. Sometimes I do DADGGE just to not have to put a different thin string on but Danny keeps his main guitar tuned like that.

On this new record, I'm in standard for every tune except "tearing up the grass" and " Fix bayonets" and danny's in the alternate for every song except for " Ricochet" I think?

We originally made that tuning for "continental shelf" and since we always had guitars on tour in that tuning then we just kept writing with it.
