EXTROVERT in
the studio again
At the moment the band is recording
the album consisting entirely of covers
of famous British bands. EXTROVERT often
perform a lot of them at their concerts.
So, the guys have a very natural wish
to record them. They decided, so to
say, to warm up before recording their
second album and to pay tribute to the
bands and songs they have grown up with.
As yet all drum tracks and the greater
part of keyboard tracks are recorded.
The release is planned for the beginning
of 2008 and the working title is BACK
IN THE UK. Right after the release of
this work EXTROVERT will proceed to
recording their second official album.
So, the upcoming year is going to be
very productive.
