3 - New Music - Some Good Evil - The Master Plan EP

My band, Some Good Evil, just released our new EP The Master Plan. We are a 3 piece indie, alternative rock band, and the EP has 4 high energy anthems.

We recorded this without a metronome, click tracks, grids, or quantization. It's a great representation of what the band actually sounds like. It's full of energy, loud guitars, and big drum beats, and we had a lot of fun making it.

It was mastered by Oscar Zambrano, who was just on the Music Production Podcast #405.
