<p style="text-align:center;"><strong>THP shines with debut single &#8220;Restless.&#8221; </strong></p>
<p><!--more-->THP carries the spirit of rock n&#8217; roll on their debut single &#8220;Restless.&#8221; This rocking single is the first taste of their upcoming 4-song-EP. THP not only sounds authentic but chose the truly authentic recording process of recording analog, straight to tape. This gives their project a truly magical sound that most competing bands fail to achieve. The band created this project at The Clocktower Record in Joshua Tree, CA. The 4 songs were impessively written in the span of a month. Judging by this powerful first release, the rest of the EP is highly anticipated. &#8220;Restless&#8221; contains distorted bluesy guitar riffs and an epic guitar solo that you&#8217;ll definitely want to replay. The guitar riffs sound huge thanks to a great performance by THP&#8217;s guitar player and production work by mixing engineer, producer Charlie Stavish.</p>

<p>Most bands record digitally these days so it&#8217;s rare to find musicians that are doing it the old school way. Digital is a more affordable process as reels and tape machines can be quite expensive. In my opinion digital recordings lack authenticity and a good portion of the chemistry of the band and performance is often lost.</p>
<p>I asked THP band what made them decide to go analog for this recording and they had some good words to say. <strong><em>&#8220;We chose to record to tape per suggestion from our studio engineer. He&#8217;s a tape recording guru I guess you could say plus we really the warmth tape brings to a record, especially on the drums. Drums just compression and shine differently on tape! Plus a lot of records we all enjoy were recorded to tape. Not to mention we did it all live! Let me converse with my drummer/singer about proper quote of inspiration. I wouldn&#8217;t feel without his input since he penned the lyrics to this tune!&#8221;</em></strong></p>
<p>As far as songwriting inspiration goes the band says <strong>&#8220;Restless was written about the disconnect and mixed emotions you experience when you feel as if you are on a different rhythm from the rest of society and the ultimate thrill of creativity that occurs through different varieties of isolation and being worn out.&#8221;</strong></p>
<p>Restless dropped on Valentine&#8217;s Day, February 14th, 2020. Enjoy it now! We can&#8217;t wait for more and we think you&#8217;ll feel the same way! Thanks THP for keeping rock n&#8217; roll alive and thriving!</p>
