New York, NY (Top40 Charts/ Circle7 official website) The guys in Circle7 started recording their debut album "Road To Dysfunction" in April of 2012, which so happened to be their three year anniversary. By June 5th, the release was made available to the public, but what a true journey it was.
The album was recorded between two different studios, Premonition Studios in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania and StudioOne in Greensburg, Pennsylvania, culminating in what Circle7 fans are calling one of the best debut albums they've heard in a long time.
Unfortunately, the task of releasing this album didn't happen without its problems. Things like a studio computer crashing and sending all of the album's vocal tracks packing never to be seen again, caused a last minute hustle to meet the deadline and fan expectations. Mark Thomas, Circle7's lead singer spent an entire day, the day before the album was scheduled to be released, re-recording vocals for the entire album in StudioOne. The tracks were then forwarded to Premonition Studios to be added to the final music tracks. One June 4th, the band gathered in Premonition Studios and spent the day guiding the mixing and mastering of the album, which was another all day event.
In the end the band created an album that takes you down a true road to dysfunction, telling a story of a man plagued with disappointments that cause the separation from his wife. Starting with a happy couple it systematically breaks down, through drug abuse, war and mental disorder, until the story peaks with the death of his estranged wife.
In true fun loving Circle7 fashion, the band doesn't leave you on such a disturbing note. The album ends with having a drink with the band through a song entitled "
Alcoholic" which was notably banned in certain countries prior to the release of the album.
The first official single from the album, entitled "
Scream" has been becoming increasingly popular, with many online radio stations premiering the song, and certain online radio stations such as Game Sound, and The DHead Factor, tailoring entire shows around Circle7 and the new album.
