Things are afoot — get it? — in the A.M. Interstate camp. The Redmond band, helmed by brothers Cy and Seth Erickson, has completed its next album, called “Love Your Sniper.” You can hear five songs from it over on the MySpace. (They’re the ones with fewer than 100 plays.)
The band will do a small run of self-released CDs and will also shop “Love Your Sniper” around to record labels, according to Cy Erickson. No matter how it comes out, though, the new album will represent a turn for A.M. Interstate, reflecting the brothers’ love for rock ‘n’ roll. “Our new sound is AC/DC married to The Beatles,” Erickson said. “‘Love Your Sniper’ is our rebirth and now you can dance to our album and live set. This is exciting. Music has always represented freedom for me. Well, now A.M. Interstate has been set free.”
With their new-found freedom, the band is free to gig! A.M. Interstate will play at Boston’s Restaurant & Sports Bar (61276 S. U.S. Highway 97, Bend) tonight at 8 p.m. as part of the Homegrown Live concert series. There is no cover charge. If you’re in Portland, catch ‘em next Friday at the East End as part of the International Pop Overthrow fest.
