New Faatherton album details, Machina is coming to Springfield and more.

Full Details on the New Faatherton Album
Singer Logan Williams says pre-production work in his home studio is done for the next Faatherton album, and recording began in earnest last Sunday. The goal, Williams says, is to hammer out one song per week while trying to get a list of tunes the group can cut down to 10 or so. Easier said than done, Williams says, since each of Faatherton’s five members—Williams, Nathaniel Carroll, Beau Brayfield, Brian Edwards and Brice Johnson—have very strong opinions about how the band should sound.The frustration the group experienced in the last year in communicating and performing together is the overarching theme of the songs, Williams says. It may seem like a negative album at first listen, he warns, but the goal is to give it a positive finish. Once that’s in place, look for the finished product on store shelves, and possibly on iTunes, in mid-fall.
