Oh and I was reading on M-A this morning that Gene posted a comment on Twitter about DA this week.
Apparently him and Eric Myer were together the day earlier and they wrote a new track for the DA album they hope to have out next year.
He's suggested before that the DA writing style is unlike pretty much any band he's been involved with. Both he and Eric have to be together in the same room and they have to be on the same wavelength. He's said it's not a simple process, maybe it has something to do with the complexity of the songs and lyrics, I'm not sure but he's adamant that's the only way DA gets written.
