Almost 40 years ago, the world was inspired by the lyric \u201cBreak on through to the other side\u201d and the future of music was about to explode. A generation was about to change, they were ready to fight the establishment and now they had the soundtrack to do so. It was a time when music reflected more art, improvisation, and poetry. Forty years later that same musical work ethic is being applied in upstate New York.<\/p>\n

\"furtherExperimental three-piece project Further Unsound has made its way at warp speed, gaining recognition locally and performing live all over the East Coast.<\/p>\n

\u201cI mean, this is how my brain is wired man,\u201d said guitarist and vocalist Matt Malone. \u201cWe all have our own way to interpret our feelings to the world and playing live happens to be how I like to do it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Which is exactly how this group took it to another level when writing and recording its latest release. Along For The Ride<\/em> was a culmination of songs written by Malone, Cole Riddering and the band\u2019s founding member, Sean Cranston.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m a firm believer that playing live is where it counts most,\u201d said Cranston.<\/p>\n

Along For The Ride<\/em>, was recorded at the The Linda Norris Auditorium<\/a> in November 2015 and released in 2016.<\/p>\n

Riddering, the band\u2019s bassist, was the last piece in the puzzle. Prior to bringing Riddering into the project, Malone and Cranston sold everything they had, packed the car and headed to the West Coast.<\/p>\n

With no time restraints, the three booked shows and jammed at random open mics and house gigs along the way, with just the desire to just play where ever they could in their travels.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe live recording of Along For The Ride<\/em>\u00a0was a good experience, it showed me how much of a conduit I was between my bandmates and pushed me to become exactly that,\u201d said Riddering. \u201cThe great thing about writing new music is that we have become a band in the last year and a half, we understand what we\u2019re trying to do with our individual styles and are understanding how to put our talents together. The last album was awesome but I\u2019m excited to be a part of the entire process this time around.\u201d<\/p>\n
