Pharmacose just released their new single "Smash", from the forthcoming combined album, "Prescription Fiction," and to celebrate we asked frontman Wes Jones to tell us about the track. Here is the story:
I wrote the music for Smash a very long time ago, but I just had not gotten around to recording it. Back then home recording wasn't really a thing, so I just set it aside, but I never totally forgot about it. A couple of years ago when it was time for Lu and I to start recording again, I thought about this song. I always thought it was a fun riff to play. We recorded the music, but I still hadn't written the lyrics. I do get writer's block, but version is that I have trouble thinking about what to write about. Once I have the idea, the lyrics almost write themselves. This time was probably the worst it's been. I didn't even write them until we were in the studio. There's always some downtime when you are recording, particularly when there some editing going on. So finally I just picked something and went with it. (continue)
