Northern Pop-Punks Me Vs Hero are to release their second album ‘I’m Completely Fine’ on September 1st – and have a tour booked to back it up. The 12 track affair was four years in the making – and self recorded.
Speaking about the record, frontman Sam Thompson said:
“Honestly? This album nearly ended Me Vs Hero numerous times. What started out as a joke two years ago paraphrasing Alan Partridge’s immortal line – ‘yeah I’m completely fine’ – actually became too literal for us.”
“We put faith in people that couldn’t deliver the end product that we knew this record needed, it cost us financially and set us back exponentially. In the end we recorded it ourselves, from vocals in a council estate high rise, to guitars in a rubbish filled garage. It wasn’t a pretty sight, it certainly wasn’t comfortable and it was hugely hit and miss. Thankfully Romesh Dodangoda of Longwave Studios and Chris Gehringher of Sterling Sound rekindled our passion, delivering a fantastic mix and a flawless master.”
