about
Forgotten Notebooks - Demo Sessions-1
Now we are very happy cause our first demo album is finally released! This was a little but an important step for us.
A kind of promise to be kept and done… As we mentioned before, “Forgotten Notebooks” is the first part of our demo trilogy series. That means, we are going to release two more demo albums near soon and another hard work awaits… But before that, let’s look at the story of “Forgotten Notebooks”
Album includes 10 acoustic tracks and all of them recorded at Studio Altıyol-İstanbul between April-July 2017 period. Decision for releasing an acoustical demo album came with the changing situations. We first started as a band in our early rehearsal sessions. Shortly after first rehearsals and unexpected drummer problem, we decided to change our studio and record all tracks just with acoustic guitars and harmonica like we used to play before.
You will easily realise unpluggedish taste when you listen album from beginning to end. Some tracks like “Bold Minded Blues” or “Useless Books” all written with/for electrical stuff, and we played them electrical in our early rehearsal period. So, even for us, it’s quite strange to listen them unplugged now. After all, with some technical ups and downs, we think the final result is pretty acceptable.
“Forgotten Notebooks” demo songs are written in different periods and different places. For example songs like “Wakes You There” and “Connected Ways” first written in late 2014. There were some different versions of the track “Connected Ways” before. We decided to record it live and low-tempo in our final recording session and add it to the demo album. “Integrity” is a bit older. It’s from summer 2012 period and waited in the chest… Through the rapidly changing conditions, we did some major changes in our demo plan. For example, we had to remove one electrical country-rock song named “Turning Back” from our track list and changed it with currently written stuff, “Flies: No More”. Faith of the missing track? Who knows, maybe someday…
Total time for “Forgotten Notebooks” is 31:41 minutes.

An album that is exemplary in every way. There is a lot to learn from a master like Tony Joe White.
go to album -
One of the most important bands in its field -Son Volt- return to the classic country sound with this album. Deeper step. Honky Tonk is an album with great stories and pure country/western tune.
go to album -
This album by the creative folk artist from Canada contains many strong stories. Very emotional stories. Pretty strong tunes. An important source of inspiration.
