October 27 marks the release of Legend Tripping, a new crowdsource-funded record from Charlotte, NC punk bank Dollar Signs. The new self-released record features 11 songs in total, reflecting on revisiting old haunts, a new perspective on the concept of the "hometown rock album."
“The pop punk industrial complex was not for me”, says Dylan Wachman, manager/bassist, speaking to the band self-releasing their latest record. “I only ever joined this band and did these things because I was a fan of music. The more time I spent working the systems of it all, the more I realized what I liked about it in the first place. And it wasn’t what we were living for," cheekily adding, "At least Bank Of America doesn’t want my masters.”
Here's a video for "Bless Your Heart."
"This song is about the ways we try to fill that big ol’ hole in ourselves and how a lot of people think they have the answer of how to cement that fucker closed but I’m not sure there is a simple solution to it," Songwriter Erik Button says. "Healing is hard, nonlinear and painful but worthwhile. It’s a messy business but hopefully a harmonized guitar solo can mend at least the corners of your tear."
