Philadelphia’s, the Loved Ones, recently spent the month of September in the studio recording their brand new record, Build and Burn, which is due out on Feb. 5th, 2008. The album was produced by Pete Steinkopf and Bryan Keinlen from the Bouncing Souls and it features a slew of cameos like the Hold Steady’s Franz Nicolay (piano, Hammond B3 organ, harmonica, accordion, saw) and Tad Kubler (guitar). The new album hints at Americana rock n’ roll with expanded instrumentation, plenty of backing vocals and a thematic concept based on the album title. The band recently solidified their lineup with the addition of Dave Walsh and Chris Gonzalez of the Explosion on guitar and bass. Expect to see a series of videos from the studio, a brand new song on our upcoming online winter sampler and touring plans that take the Loved Ones through New Year’s Eve 2008! Check out these studio photos and try to catch the band on their upcoming European tour in November which includes eight shows supporting NOFX.

Ok, enough wordy album crap, check out my Motorhead pumpkin!
