Earshot: Letting Go

HOW MUCH

MUST I LIVE THROUGH

JUST TO GET AWAY ?

AFTER ALL THESE

PRESURES THAT MAKE 

YOUR HEAD FEEL SO TIGHT

 Letting Go

is the debut studio album

 by the American 

alternative metal band

Earshot

 released on

 May 7, 2002.

 The songs

 "Get Away" 

and

 "Not Afraid" 

were released

 as singles

 during that year 

with each having

 their own 

music video. 

“Get Away” 

reached #4

 on the

 U.S. Active Rock Charts 

and stayed in

 the top 100 

for over 64 weeks. 

Letting Go

reached #82 

on the 

Billboard 200.

Recording

Vocalist/guitarist 

Wil Martin 

mentioned 

"we just played around town

 and recorded demos 

at like friends houses 

and studios

 and we only did that 

one time with one song 

which actually spawned 

all the label interest. 

And it's obvious recording in

 someone's basement

 to a multi million-dollar studio

 because you 

need the space

 and some of the technology

 to be able to pick up

 the various things 

and instruments.

"Song meanings"

A lot of the songs are about 

relationships or about

 having a bad day, 

where nothing

 seems to go right,

 or where you just 

dwell on the negative. 

But the album 

as a whole is about

 getting past all that."

 - Wil Martin
