(PR) Indie-pop duo The Submarines will release HONEYSUCKLE WEEKS, the follow up to their 2006 debut Declare A New State!, on May 13, 2008 through Nettwerk Music Group. The band will perform new material as part of NPR affiliate KUT's SXSW showcase on Friday, March 14. Honeysuckle Weeks marks the first time that The Submarines - John Dragonetti and Blake Hazard - collaborated as a duo from start to finish (Declare A New State! was written separately during a breakup and recorded upon their reunion.) The new album, which was recorded in the band's East LA garage-turned-home-studio, draws together themes from their immediate surroundings and experience: the garden outside their home studio, and the push and pull of life and love inside.
"Our first album was hugely cathartic for us to make, dealing with a breakup and getting out the sorrow, but we've been ready to freak out and have a lot more fun this time around. We're thankful not to have to make that record again, to be in a better place," says Hazard.
