Sunset Aside are actively working towards a publishing and/or distribution deal, pending the results of the oft-used and time worn DIY approach, which includes pushing themselves on the Internet, local radio promotion and word-of-mouth, as well as soliciting promotional copies of their album (Of What Remains, 2007) to record labels. As far as performing live? "Sunset Aside exists only when it has to," quotes Will. "Johnny and I decided that the 'live band' should be deconstructed in favor of training our focus on writing new material, which, in my opinion was the right move, being that our newer songs are quite a few levels away from we have established with "Of What Remains" in that the music we are composing these days doesn't really have the same feel or attack per se' as our previous material."
"After we finished of what remains," adds Johnny, "we really just needed to step back and evaluate where we were. Will bled for that record (not just figuratively) and it is a complete emotional statement. It also became obvious we were in a different state of mind afterward, that we had something very different to say and it was being reflected in the new music we were creating. The music will always fluctuate and change as it reflects our current emotive state. The next record will be starkly different, but it will be true. It will be honest."
Continues Will: "Our current trend in writing is darker than we expected, both in temperature and shade, yet the feel of the music itself has a very natural flow to it, which I might liken to truth, stone, and water, respectively. Quite simply put, our recent endeavors are rudimentary by design yet complex in what they invoke from the performer and the in the listener alike. Besides, what fun would it be to repeat a great film, especially one that you did yourself? Different is better than better itself."
