A Day To Remember have pulled off a surprise move, dropping their latest album, A Day To Remember’s Big Ole Album Vol. 1, exclusively in physical formats earlier today (February 18th). Now, the band has released two new singles from the record—“LeBron” and “Make It Make Sense”—which are now available on leading digital platforms.
The full album is set to hit streaming services on March 21st.
In a recent interview with Kerrang!, Jeremy McKinnon was asked whether work had already begun on a second volume of A Day To Remember’s Big Ole Album. He responded:
“There is another album, yes. It’ll be its own entirely separate thing that comes later. We’ve got quite a bit done for Vol. 2, but it’s not quite finished yet. What will be cool is that we can react to what people like about Vol. 1, and write more towards that. That’s a place we’ve never been before, to adjust in real time like that to give the fans more of what they liked, and less of what they didn’t. That feels exciting to me.”
In addition to revealing how a suggestion from Bring Me The Horizon’s Oli Sykes earned him a songwriting credit on the album, Jeremy McKinnon also discussed drawing inspiration from Gojira and Coal Chamber’s Dez Fafara on the track “Silence”:
“That’s funny that you say that, because that song is obviously very inspired by them. We also worked with Cody Quistad [Wage War] on this record, who I love writing with, and he was messing around one day and just went, ‘(Makes riff noise).’ That whole chorus immediately popped into my head – I’ve no idea why, or where it came from. It took me back to this time when I was a kid, when I had a buddy who was super into heavier music.
He had gotten me into the first Coal Chamber record, and I had always said to him, ‘I can do that [Dez Fafara] voice, y’know!’ He would make me do it in front of him to prove it. Hearing that song from Drew made me think all that way back and be like, ‘I could do that voice on this song…’ I think it sound fucking crazy. It’s my dad’s favourite song on the record – every time I saw him, he’d make sure we had kept it on there!”
