New Found Glory Band • Page 36

So, having a demo means they’ve been writing (one song at least)....so new album next year hopefully.

These Screen To Stereos are fun. I’m glad they’ve stuck with them to the point now where’s we have 3. And they are each a different to mark different parts of their career.

 

I saw in one interview they said they are done doing cover albums. I hope they change their minds.

 

Lets keep raving about how great they sound so they hire Will to produce their next album. Then lets hope Will gets motivated to write another Cartel album by working with NFG and then tour with NFG.

EDIT: Also so Will can be featured on an NFG song.

 

Still my favorite cover I think, his verse is so good.

 

I’m trying. Heh.

 

Goddamn amazing!

 

That band in a bubble thing really backfired unfortunately.

 

Puzzles is cool. I listened to the cover album so many times today. It’s so good.

 

why isn't his account verified

 

No one respects Cartel like we do.

 

What ever happened to Cartel?

 

Puzzles honestly sounds straight off of Sticks & Stones

 

Those gang vocals in Puzzles

 

There was a moment at NFG's album release party in LA this week where the guy moderating the Q&A suggested "Maybe for the next covers EP" regarding some song I forget and Jordan said "Nah," but the tone seemed in line what what you said above...

 

They’ve been releasing albums since 1999, and it’s 2019. In 20 years, that’s 3 Screen To Stereos. As great as these things are, I would t expect them to release one again soon.

Also, getting rights to these songs can’t be easy.

 

I’d rather they put all this awesome effort into new original music, personally.

 

I don't think they need the rights to the song since they are covers

 

It’s fun, and it’s probably jolt of energy for the band. They don’t have to invest the time into writing music and lyrics, and just work on arrangements and such. But, maybe with the success of working on this with Will, they’ll bring him in produce an album of originals. It’s 7 songs too.

I get the covers aren’t for everyone.

 

If feel like you absolutely do. It’s not a live show, it’s a recorded a released product for sale under NFG’s name. Disney would come after you. There are different rules for satire and public figures.

Song writers and rights owners make money this way. People like Sam Smith have had to pay money to Tom Petty for even writing songs using his melodies (if that’s the right word). Shows like Glee had to pay and get permission, music talent shows too.

I wonder what cut of the sales NFG would even get for From Your Screen To Stereos. It’s may not be much for their efforts. That could be a reason to stop.

If someone knows for a fact otherwise, please let me know.

 

Gotcha, I just thought it fell under the satire rules and such. Just thinking about the likely millions of covers of songs on YouTube seems like they wouldn't need all that but I really have no idea one way or another.

 

I think with YouTube you stream songs without profiting, or could argue a degree of live performance.

I think profiting look-a-like or cover bands are supposed to pay royalties too. When the mp3 sharing became a thing, the record industry tried to recoup potential lost profits anywhere they could. I remember hearing they wanted wedding DJ’s to pay music licensing fees too, because they were profiting from playing other people’s music. Maybe it was blanket fee. An event DJ could answer this better than me.

 

You need mechanical licenses for cover songs.

Songfile is a good place to learn more.

 

Accidentally in Love is amazing.

Just heard Puzzles and WOW. I love this band so much.

 

As far as the arrangements go, this is probably the best of the trilogy. They really made pretty much every song on here sound like their own song without changing too much of the original which can't be easy to do. Super happy with this, it's a lot of fun

 

Resurrection is still such a great album. Shame it never got more love.
