February 23, 2010 (San Diego, Ca) — “Not only can we work at our own pace, but we get to cook our own food as we do it.” Jack Taylor explains as he slices onions for something cooking on the stove. “We also saved ourselves close to $20,000, which is always nice.” Jack is not only a chef but the keyboardist and trumpet player for InTransit Audio. The group of San Diego transplants recorded their first full length album only a few feet from where he’s cooking dinner, and that album “When The Screws Came Loose” is ready for release April 2nd 2010 after 9 months of work.
“It’s a huge accomplishment, being able to say with complete honesty that we have done this all on our own. Not many bands could have pulled this off the way that we have.” Adam Feuerman strums his guitar as he talks and smiles as he reminisces about the road to completing the album. “There are always bumps in the road while working closely with other creative individuals, and there were some serious moments during this recording process, but (laughing) it looks like we all made it.” The five piece band also features Mike Panagoulias, Dave Milton, and MC Charles Robeson.
There is no shortage of distress coming from the music industry as fans choose different, and sometimes illegal, ways of obtaining music. Labels and musicians alike have been struggling to make money in this rapidly changing landscape. InTransit Audio has responded with a smaller scale operation to help their fans reach their music. “We know many of our fans wont buy the music, so we’re willing to try different things. I don’t know anyone who hasn’t shared music, myself included, in fact we want people to share our music! But we have to try and make something in return- so we’re offering our fans other ways to support our music. We have a solid plan to make back all the money we’ve spent on When The Screws Came Loose within three months.” Explains Brandon Halvorson who takes care of the business for band.
“We named the album “When The Screws Came Loose” because that’s what happened. We put our lives on hold and poured everything we had into this project.” – Jack Taylor
The album “When The Screws Came Loose” can best be described as a journey through musical styles ranging from modern rock (Let Me Go), dark jazz (Space Carpet), dub-rock (relapse) and trippy instrumentals (Willow). The early reviews from the album have been overwhelmingly positive, as have the response for their $1 Album Pre-Sale, where fans can download the full album via the bands website for only $1. “We had no idea we’d get such a great response, even my mom bought one.” claims Taylor.
InTransit Audio has a number of shows planned through the month of March, including a live web broadcast with two other San Diego bands, Science Fiction and Guava Belly, March 13th via their website. That same website will also be posting content daily including video shot during the recording of the album. The month will culminate with a private party downtown San Diego on April 2nd to mark the official release of the album.
The band is excited to meet the world at large through their first release, but after that it’s back to the studio.
“We’ve already have half of another album ready to go, so I can’t wait to do it all over again.” – Adam Feuerman

I spoke with Sara Beth Brooks - Deputy Field Organizer of Courage Campaign [ www.couragecampaign.org ] and Tres Watson - Executive Director of Canvass for a Cause [ www.canvassforacause.org ] about the trial and they share their thoughts on the broadcast ban too!
A trial challenging California’s Proposition 8, which bans same-sex marriage, began January 11. The two same-sex couples at the heart of the case are arguing that the ban is unconstitutional, and no matter what the outcome of the case in district court, it will likely head to the U.S. Supreme Court.
The outcome of the case is expected to set precedent for years and shape society in the same ways as landmark cases like Brown v. Board of Education and Roe v. Wade. It’s also expected to spark protests around the country.
Do you think banning same-sex marriage is unconstitutional? How do you think the case will turn out?I spoke with Sara Beth Brooks - Deputy Field Organizer of Courage Campaign [... more
Xcorps Action Sports TV #48.) ROAD TOUR seg.5 HD - Rolling into a new TV season team X launches a fresh wave of assaults upon the lame and mundane by shooting a massive coast to coast Road-Tour stretching from Boston to San Diego!
The show opens up with host Jason Lazo standing in the New Jersey surf after flying in from San Diego California to visit RIVE- the source of many of the music videos that appear on the show. Jason hangs at a local skate park in Long Branch N.J. and talks with RIVE owner John Warden and producer Nick Paolise who talk about what exactly RIVE does for musicians and bands.
After that the pedal hits the metal with Jason jumping on U.S. interstate 80 west. Nice high speed road shots here rolling to a brand new video from an alt pop band from Denmark-The Asteroids Galaxy- Tour presented by Girly Action.
Pretty fun way to roll the highway with this band in the stereo!
Jason pushes the car all night stopping at 6:30 am on the banks of the mighty Mississippi River between Illinois and Iowa for a report to the camera. After another fill-up the miles keep rolling by cut to a video from keyboard talent Aaron Barnhart doing his song Day in Day Out. Lots of farm scenes here of mid America looking summer green and then onward to the Wyoming border!
Jason exits on the next segment for a little break on his trans-continental drive at the highest point on U.S.80- also known as the Lincoln Highway-Americas first cross country highway. The air is a bit thin here at 8,640 feet. A freaky animated video from the band A Lull doing their song Skinny Fingers rolls with big sky scenes here of the Wyoming landscape.
Jason talks about the journey as the miles roll on then decides to exit the big road to head south on U.S. highway 530 for a closer look at the super scenic Flaming Gorge National Park. Great shots here and what kind of animal was that? It seems like the Xcorps host-reporter was the only one on the road following the Green river and finding a camping spot near the town of Red Canyon. Check out what he does NOT have for dinner!
Segment 5 of this cross country journey opens up the next morning with more rainbow colored mountains and close ups of wildlife with Jason throwing out some geological thoughts. Etheral tunes by David Huber backs his informative rap.
The show closes out with scenes from part-2 of the Xcorps ROAD TOUR show where the action really starts rolling in Idaho with mountain biking and hot air ballooning at the Grand Targhee resort, BASE jumping off the Perrine bridge and jet-boating the Snake river through Hells Canyon. As they say in these parts-this aint no show for lilies!
