THESE GREEN EYES’
‘RELAPSE TO RECOVERY’
REVAMPED WITH BONUS TRACKS
AVAILABLE EXCLUSIVELY WITH CDS
PURCHASED IN STORES MARCH 24
February
3, 2009 -- Blackledge Music (with distribution by Atlantic/ADA)
has decided to make changes to the final version of THESE GREEN
EYES’ forthcoming RELAPSE TO RECOVERY album, which
is due out March 24.
Due to
a barrage of Internet leaks, the label will now be releasing the
physical CD with two exclusive bonus tracks (“Friends Like
These” and “Pops”). These songs will not be
available on digital outlets such as iTunes and Amazon. Additional
liner notes, album credits and lyrics will be made available on
the band’s Myspace page for download.
Tackling
issues of friendship, loss, remorse, and ultimately hope, RELAPSE
TO RECOVERY boils down five years of trials and tribulations
as a unit, culminating with the tragic and unexpected loss of
a close band friend to suicide.
Varying
from a world-weary worldview (opener "At The End") to
high octane vendettas (the scream-along chorus of "Sucker
Punch") to ruminations on the loss of friendship (the wistful
closer "Time Of Our Lives"), THESE GREEN EYES—Colin
Cunningham (vocals), Greg Mauro (guitars), Jeff Krenn (guitars),
Zach Braz (bass), Mark Brundrett (drums)--have channeled their
punk, post-hardcore, and arena rock influences into an anthemic
wall of sound that's all their own.
The album’s
already racking in rave reviews. To wit:
“It
is a high-energy rocker with great vocals, excellent harmonizing
and some amazing instrumental work.”

“The
eleven tracks sparkle with an urgency heightened by aggressive
guitar work (courtesy of Greg Mauro and Jeff Krenn), driving bass
and drums (Zach Braz and Mark Brundrett, respectively), and rock-solid
vocals (from Colin Cunningham)…These Green Eyes’ music
is driving and visceral influenced by punk, post-hardcore and
arena rock making for a dynamic, melodic listening experience;
personally, I like the group harmonies, catchy hooks and near-prog-like
rhythmic changes…it’s everything I like about rock
rolled up into one band! I’m now on a mission to find their
first album-- “House of Glass”--and see how it compares
to this triumphant release!”

“Mixing
off beat rhythms, catchy hooks, group vocals and powerful vocals,
These Green Eyes are sure to make heads turn with their full-
length…”
