New York, NY (Top40 Charts/ Tragic Hero Records) Post-hardcore band A Skylit Drive have filmed and released an official studio update on their upcoming full-length album. The video is part of a series with the first one being titled ASD2013 Episode 1.The band recently entered the studio with platinum producer Jim Wirt (Hoobastank, Trapt, Something Corporate) to write songs for the new album. "I thoroughly enjoyed the time we spent in Cleveland with producer Jim Wirt," says vocalist Michael "Jag" Jagmin. "It's a nice change of pace writing with someone outside of the band. We're used to writing our albums completely secluded locked away in a practice spot somewhere. Including someone as knowledgeable as Jim into the mix has been a great benefit for us." In addition to working with Jim Wirt, A Skylit Drive will also record demo tracks with Kit Walters (Alesana, Letlive, He Is Legend), Mitchell Marlow (In This Moment), as well as production by Cameron Mizell (Sleeping With Sirens, Capture The Crown) for the highly anticipated album on Tragic Hero Records.
New single Fallen is out now
Great vision, that's what it takes to refuse to rest on previous success and instead focus on what you need to become in the future, which is exactly what Lodi, California's A Skylit Drive continues to achieve with every album. Vocalist Michael "Jag" Jagmin, guitarist Nick Miller, bassist/screamer Brian White, drummer Cory La Quay and keyboardist Kyle Simmons, officially exploded onto the scene in 2007 with their EP She Watched the Sky. They followed that release up with three full-length albums titled Wires and the Concept of Breathing, Adelphia and Identity on Fire, which all charted on the Billboard Top 200, and their live DVD Let Go of the Wires.
A Skylit Drive has toured extensively with similar artists like Blessthefall, Sleeping with Sirens, Pierce the Veil, and Of Mice & Men; as well as contributing songs to the well known compilations Punk Goes Classic Rock and Punk Goes Pop Vol 4. A Skylit Drive's musical resume would be enough of a career for most bands, but they have no intentions of slowing down. In fact, the band believes they are just hitting their stride. They released their new single Fallen to critical acclaim and assured their fans that this was just a taste of things to come on the new album that will be out in 2013. Fallen joins the essential characteristics of A Skylit Drive's signature sound heard on Wires and the Concept of Breathing while showcasing a wide spectrum of tones, textures and song structure.
