About this user

With their debut album "What A Scene", Long Story Short wants to leave their mark on the map. After a solid year of song writing and recording for the album and only a month since its release the lead single "Caved In" has already put the band in the spotlight, winning the Virgin Radio Songwriting Competition for the region of Montreal, getting second place on the national level and being added to Virgin Radio's rotation as well as putting the band in the #1 spot on Alternative Addiction's Unsigned Artists Top10 for three months straight. The album offers an addicting blend of alternative rock fused with hooky pop influences and lyrics that hit you straight in the heart.

The group is headed by Dan Luka on vocals and guitar, with Nicky James on the piano, Benoit Labelle on lead guitar, Dominique Cright on drums and Jason Ollivierre on bass and backing vocals. Produced by platinum-certified record producer John Nathaniel, Long Story Short just performed at Canadian Music Fest in Toronto, Ontario on March 12th and is now preparing for more shows in Canada and the US.

When writing for the album the band members stayed true to their goal of only putting songs on the album that had a personal meaning to them. "If you write a song and it does nothing for you emotionally, how can you expect it to do anything for the listener?", explains Dan, "we really took our time to write these songs. We didn't want to just combine chords and words, we want the listener to feel each song on the record as well as on stage", adds Nicky James. Indeed, having ended up with upwards of 30 songs during the writing sessions for "What A Scene", the group had to make some tough decisions on which songs were going to make the final cut. The album features 10 songs and kicks off with the cynical rock anthem "Fall Awake", which criticizes the human tendency of never being satisfied and always wanting more. With lyrics like: "Everybody's lookin' for perfection/Only setting themselves up for rejection/Livin' in a world that's ruled by addiction". Dan recalls: "It was the last song to be recorded for the album. We wrote it in like an hour and we hadn't really done a song with that kind of a snappy attitude yet. So it was really fun to record.

"The piano ballad "What A Scene" is the album's title track and a very a personal song for Pianist/Guitarist Nicky James. With lyrics like "Memories crash in my dreams/like a siren in my sleep. Oh, What a dream." Nicky says "We chose this as the title track after we took a look at the road Dan and I took to get to where we are. It's been bumpy and full of heartache and lessons learned.

When asked about what influenced the sound on this album, the band says "Dan, John and I all have very different but very similar tastes. The amalgamation of how we all envisioned this album's sound made for some awesome combinations. From the Nickelback guitar tones and Muse influenced vocal harmonies of "The Truth Hurts" to the Switchfoot riffs and The Beatles chord changes in "Fall Awake". It was like putting all of our favorite sounds in a blender and hearing the results. Even unlikely combinations like the organic mandolins and acoustics blended with the grungy Nirvana-esque chords in the song "Running From The Sun" make for a truly unique sound. I think I can speak for us all when I say we're so pleased with the way this album has turned out. Every song has its own vibe and feel and we absolutely cannot wait to release this record to the public."

The album "What A Scene" is now available on iTunes, cdBaby and other digital music outlets. Stay tuned for more news at http://www.facebook.com/longstoryshortrock
