Official Cancer Thread

[clayton]

Apparently the next album is called Cancer. I felt the need to hold it in, but I think now is a good time to say that Drew told me a while back that Showbread is hoping to hit the studio around February.

[PaperweightHarmonica]

So is Cancer the official title now? I heard a little about it on formspring or something but nothing other than that.

[clayton]

i guess so. josh also mentioned on twitter i think that he's listened to a lot of the darkness, david bowie, and the rentals for inspiration. i think it'll be interesting.

[PaperweightHarmonica]

Yeah, I remember reading something about that too. I also recall Josh saying something about the next Showbread album being similar to A/N (I'm sure that meant thematically, not musically), so the title Cancer makes me wonder if it will be some sort of sequel or sister album to A/N.

I mean...not because A/N was about sisters...like a companion piece or whatever.

[clayton]

yeah, for some reason, the title cancer brings to mind industrial stuff to me. also, i don't know if it's relavent, but they did a tour with their wives on keyboard under the name cancer bots.

[PaperweightHarmonica]

Yeah dude! I was thinking of the cancer bots as soon as I heard that too.

[HunterBrown]

This is super exciting. Isn't The Darkness that band that played those amazing 80's hair-band-type songs?

[HunterBrown]

Who can know it is the best showbread album... Until CANCER comes out.

Just heard this today.

[PaperweightHarmonica]

Who said that, Hunter?

[clayton]

that was on showbreads formspring. the darkness is a hair metal band josh likes. i think i may have heard one of their songs. hair metal isn't really my thing, but it would be interesting to see showbreads take on it. i like what i've heard from david bowie and the rentals.

[Satur9]

How official is the title? the only thing i've seen it on is Formspring. any other confirmation?

[Corvid Canine]

please be industrial! please be industrial! please be seaking machines out to kill you industrial!

[clayton]

i doubt it'll be extremely industrial if it's industrial at all because showbread doesn't do the same thing twice. none of the bands mentioned as influence are industrial. i just think cancer sounds like an apropriate name for an industrial album and apparently they said something about anorexia nervosa.

[clayton]

aparently he said something about the title back at purple door. that was about a month ago.

[Izzyman]

Man, this is really exciting stuff. I couldn't tell if that was just a joke on the formspring or not. I want to know now!!!

I BELIEVE IN A THING CALLED LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE OOOOOH.

Unless it's a different hair metal band called The Darkness. They're from like an hour away from where I live.

[HunterBrown]

Dude, that song, "I Believe In A Thing Called Love" is amazing! Super excited. (I say that too much . . . )

[JWat]

I definitely thought this thread was for something else and all I could think was "Ohhhhhhhh nooooooooooooooooo"

[Sara]

THE DARKNESS HAS 20 SONGS, NOT ONE.

Rachel, I am super jealous of your location. Please bring Justin Hawkings to me.

Everyone else, get it together. Seriously.

[Lettie]

Yeah, they have that Christmas song, that other song about love... yeah, then I'm stuck.
