In the 18 months since the release of their "True Love Never Dies" debut, Las Vegas rockers OTHERWISE have gone from local favorites to one of America's best-selling breakout acts. Now, they're giving something back to the fans that have embraced the band and claimed them as their own.
On October 31, OTHERWISE will release "Enjoy The Pain", a five-song acoustic EP of all new songs, written and recorded entirely on the road. The album will be free, and available for download through a dedicated site that will be announced at 5 p.m. ET on Halloween on SiriusXM Octane. A first track from the album, "Miles Of Rain", can be heard in the YouTube clip below.
Says OTHERWISE: "'Enjoy The Pain' is our gift to you. It's our way of saying thank you for the success you've helped us earn, and a little something to hold you over until our next full-length album is released in 2014.
"We recorded this entirely on our own, on the road, in between shows while out on tour. If we couldn't find a quiet bedroom or bathroom to track in, we'd record while literally driving down the highway... The process wasn't easy. It wasn't slick. It wasn't normal. It didn't adhere to any set of rules, guidelines, or industry standards. At times it was painful... And we enjoyed every minute of it. So please, 'Enjoy The Pain' with us... and enjoy this EP."
