RETRO GRAVE - New Audio Interview With Drummer Jeff "Oly" Olson Online
March 6, 2010, 14 years ago
Rock My Monkey recently conducted an interview with drummer Jeff "Oly" Olson (Ex-TROUBLE, RETRO GRAVE). The chat is now available online below:
Retro Grave's debut full-length album, Again, was released February 09, 2010
Olson composed all the music for Again with lyricist Paull Goodchild.
Olson previously stated about the CD: "I released this album initially as a download only last year, but I've since made some changes by adding another player to the mix (Michael Leonard Maiewski) with an additional song. In addition, I felt the need to change the artwork due to cover similarities of writer and comedian David Sedaris's latest book, When You Are Engulfed in Flames. Sedaris' cover was also of Van Gogh's 'Smoking Skull', so I scrapped it and came up with something else. I suppose this is why it's called 'Again'. Moreover, I had determined that I wanted something different (musically) for the future of Retro Grave and, therefore, Mike Schermuly and J. Cortes are now departed. I wish them well in their future projects. They are great guys and I appreciate their contributions to the record. Right now, I'm currently writing for my sophomore album, Skullduggery, with future collaborations and cameos to be disclosed in the very near future."
