INDIANAPOLIS, IN- January 10, 2012 - Slospeak Records just announced the January 24th release of Pioneer's self-titled full length album. The five-piece band will showcase its catchy American rock'n roll sound at their January 14th CD release show in Indianapolis, IN. "Treason," the first single off the new record, was "Most Added" on the BDS Rock Charts its first week out and has quickly jumped 16 spots to #12 - with lots of momentum to keep climbing. In addition, "Lights" will stream exclusively on Substream Music Press the week of January 16th.
Mark Lee Townsend (Relient K, The Wedding, House of Heroes), produced the record in his Spring Hill, TN studio. JR McNeely (Paramore, Anberlin, Underoath) mixed and mastered in preparation to create the finished product. Says Townsend of the recording process, "I think we all worked hard to challenge ourselves and to push beyond what was comfortable or easy for us and to make something we're all proud of. The band has a lot of youthful energy and we kept all of that intact while stretching the boundaries past that point. Kudos to the guys for being willing to go there."
When it came time to writing this album, the band began with a clearer, stronger focus. "There was a definite need to better define who we are as people, while still carrying on the exact foundation that [we] were built on," says Chad Shirrel (vocals/guitar). It was this focus and determination that drove the creativity and maturity evident on the album.
