"After All is Said and Done." is what's filling the void for the members of
this Orange County based indie-rock quartet, "VOiD808," in early 2008 as
they release their 3rd independent release entitled, "After All is Said and
Done." The band has been working on material for this album for the past 3
years, shortly following the release of their previous album, Soundtrack to
Your Favorite Memory, in September 2004. "The last album was very emotional
for me and was very diverse in pace, tempo, and theme. I thought it would be
a tough album to follow, but I'm really proud of the artistry and expression
that our current album captures. Musically, the album took the band places
it had never been before and revitalized our sound," states Oscar Oo,
vocalist/songwriter.
VOiD808 revolve the album around the theme of a midnight drive taken to
revitalize a relationship in "After All is Said and Done." The songs on the
record reflect the theme behind the album concept and stay with the metaphor
of taking a journey through both difficult and peaceful times. The layout of
the album beautifully illustrates this journey by providing the listener
with images from the lyrics, told from beginning to end. VOiD808 create
impressions of pain and anger on this album that are depicted in songs like
Spirit of Downtown, Midnight Drive, and Whispers in the Dark, which brings
to life the spoken words behind the prayer of someone who is hurting.
Brandon Ochoa, drummer, shares, "I liked our chemistry when writing for this
album. It helped us explore horizons we've never explored before musically."
VOiD808 also write about not taking life for granted with songs like
Tomorrow's Just a Promise, and also tailors the album to be reflective of
bittersweet memories with songs like Anthem of Our Lives. Lastly, VOiD808
illustrate the metaphor of the reluctance to let go of painful memories with
the melancholy acoustic tracks, Last Dance, and Image in Our Memories. Mike
Turner, guitarist, states, "One could just put the cd in their car stereo
and take a trip down memory lane; a youthful adventure." Jay Adams, bassist,
refers to the album as being, "Full of life experience."
Since the release of their last album, VOiD808 have gone from local
promotions to international marketing and promotions through the use of
electronic music sales and advertising. They have exponentially increased
their distribution, and with iTunes and CD Baby being their biggest
international distributor, they currently have over 60 digital distribution
sites and are at the height of their international exposure. VOiD808 are on
a nonstop promotional campaign to further their music careers in utilizing
some of the most popular networking tools on the internet today, including:
myspace, friendster, purevolume, and other networking sites with well over
hundreds of thousands of fans worldwide, receiving an average of several
hundreds of emails daily. During this period of high volume promotions,
VOiD808 have also greatly increased the number of search results on any
internet search engine. VOiD808 firmly believe that responding to their fans
and building a relationship with their fans is the essence of creating music
and hoping that someone else can find solace and comfort in this world by
sharing the gift that was first given to them.
