Bring seven highly talented, experienced musicians together in the studio, give them creative freedom and a common vision and there's little doubt the results will be extraordinary. There’s only one problem. Getting all those musicians together in the same room, without neglecting anyone’s full-time gig, is almost impossible. This is where technology comes to the rescue. Collaborating mostly online, the core songwriting team gradually shaped the band’s upcoming debut EP, The Hearts of the Lonely People.

"We recorded all these songs with never once having played them all the way through, never all being in the same room, no one playing an instrument before they were tracked," says guitarist/keyboardist Brian Southall. "It was sitting on a computer and going, 'Yep, that'll probably work,' and we'll figure it out later, and somehow it worked. Overall, it was the strangest thing I've ever been a part of."

"When we all met up in Seattle it was just a matter of piecing things together and working our asses off for the little time we had," says vocalist/guitarist Vic Fuentes. "I had so many amazing songwriters involved at once, so I had to open my mind a little more to their different styles…. Once we broke the ice and got to know each other on a creative level, it was much easier and things started becoming very fun and interesting."

While the same obstacles during the recording process continue to restrict definitive plans for Isles & Glaciers, it's clear that should the planets once again align in such a way that its seven members can reunite, great things can be expected.
