New York, NY (Top40 Charts) They're not ready to stop just yet. Coming off their debut album last year,
Glenn Morrow's Cry for Help, the veteran rockers from the Mile
Square City, are ready to drop some new songs on the world. The first is "Yellowed Pages," which harkens back to Morrow's time in the 1980s with his band the Individuals and drummer Ron Metz's outfit the Human Switchboard and the Schramms. According to Morrow, "The song deals with the lost art of connecting with other humans by telephone."
Rather than wait to complete an album the group is recording songs in batches with the idea that an album will coalesce out of that process.
"Streaming has changed the game," explains Morrow. "You can easily get something out in the world as soon as it is ready to go. Some things might be on an eventual album, some things might appear and disappear later. The good thing is you don't have to wait for the vinyl pressing to get done. It's a very different approach and really keeps things fresh."
The band will play White Eagle Hall as part of the North Jersey Indie Fest on Saturday, October 6. It is a specially priced event, featuring 18 bands on two stages over the course of six hours.
"I've attended the last two years," says Morrow, "and it's a blast. You get to see lots of old friends and hear lots of new music."
Glenn Morrow's Cry for Help records for Rhyme & Reason Records. In addition to Morrow and Metz, the band includes Ric Sherman on lead guitar and Mike Rosenberg on bass.
