Event Details

This new single series has been very rewarding. Although we really enjoyed the process of writing a full cohesive album with ‘Everything In Gold,’ this time around putting out a song when it’s done and getting that immediate feedback has been great,” Joe Zorzi, lead singer for Modern Chemistry reflects. In 2018 the New Jersey natives released ‘Take A Second’ and ‘Swimmers’ both fully funded and released independently. The New Jersey band has accomplished a lot in the few years since forming. They have self-released a great collection of music and videos. They toured North America with Frank Iero and his band in 2015 and also played shows with Northern Faces, Motion City Soundtrack and John Nolan. They toured with Mayday Parade in 2016. In 2017 they supported Taking Back Sunday and Every Time I Die across the US. They have played some major festivals including SXSW, South By So What, Gentlemen of the Road and Chicago’s Riot Fest. They even did two World Tours of New Jersey. The band has always stayed busy even while finishing school and working odd jobs to support themselves. This includes self-releasing a few EP’s, each one bringing a new audience and rave reviews, including two covers of local weekly The Aquarian and many ‘Best Of’ year-end lists. Adam Lazzara. of Taking Back Sunday fame, went even further than simply offering up a few opening touring slots. He produced the 2016 EP, ‘Dreaming Adjacent.’ “They were trusting me with their music. They work so hard and treated every decision, no matter how small, with a lot of thought and great care. I’m very proud that they were gracious enough to let me into the process,’ said Adam. In between dates promoting Dreaming Adjacent, the band recorded its first full length album with Paul Leavitt (The Dangerous Summer, Have Mercy). “That record is all about taking a step back to look at all of your past mistakes, all of your regrets, and all of your accomplishments. Realizing that no matter what you're dealing with, there's a way to become better from it,” said Zorzi. When asked to expand on some of the inspirations behind the tracks, Zorzi continued. “The song ‘Everything In Gold’ captured a new feeling for us. It feels like a reawakening for our band. We've been working with moody ups and downs in our songs since the beginning and this song takes that structure to new heights. ‘St. Rain’ is a type of song I've been wanting to write for a long time. It's got some really lively verses, and a classic half time chorus. There's a lot more of a noticeable influence from Kings of Leon and other great bands that might not be as apparent in some of our older material,” he states. It's an exciting time for the band, as they look towards the future. "We're excited to get back in the studio and finish up our next album," Zorzi says. "Everything's becoming more and more cohesive and it feels like we're making our most fully realized songs to date. Header image credit Dana Why
