To bring a fresh voice to the album, Hierosonic brought in Amanda Palmer of the Dresden Dolls for one of their songs. They also used parts from vintage tele phones to pull off different effects. There is nobody who solely writes their own music. "We all pretty much write every song together," said Stewart. Many of the political and so cial concepts of the songs came from Stewart and the band as a whole built up songs around those ideas. "We've never strug gled for material," said Cannon. "Our biggest problem is find ing what we want to cut. It's like you have 15 children and you can only take 13 along when you move," said Stewart. Sometimes when they're look ing for a clearer vision they back The twenty-something band Hierosonic from Harrisburg with Amanda Palmer, one of the guest vocalists featured on their new albumn. up and reproduce a song that has already been finished. "[lt] helps us end up with a prod uct we want," said Stewart. But the production doesn't end there. Not only is Hierosonic driven to perfect their album, but fraterrial c rganizatiore comprised cvf former., current,grid reserve rinerin 'pers. of the ts i Gamm a lot.P" nal t4a , rri ity i.. al co-mod they're also driven to perform. They've played shows in and around the Harrisburg area but have also taken their show on the road. Doing shows in Cleveland, Connecticut, Maine, New York, all the way down to West Virginia, "It's kind of difficult to put into words. It was less the fact that we played in front of all those people, that was amazing, but the people we got to meet," -Ben Stewart Hierosonic has made themselves known in the Northeast venues. The performance takes more than just five people to run smoothly though. Hierosonic has a behind the scenes crew tak ing care of the band's set-up and tear-down. "We've actually tak en quite a few of those guys on the road with us," said Cannon. The band usually only has a fif teen minute interval to set up after the previous band. But the previ ous band must also tear down their set in that fifteen-minute , interval. Hierosonic's crew can have their equipment set up in 8 minutes. Armed Foress,_ "They're just as important, they're just behind the scenes [and] don't get the credit we do," said Can non, "when the show goes off with out a hitch we all feel gratified." "The band is pretty much all we think about," said Stewart. With all this hard work and dedication to the band, the members have become almost closer than family. "My only rule is that I don't put my family in jeopardy because of the band," says Cannon re ferring to his 2-year-old son and fiancé who is a psychology ma jor at Penn State Harrisburg. The band is so close to the point that if one had to move the rest would be willing to follow. "My girlfriend is going to med school and there's a chance we'll have to move, and these guys said 'we'll go,"' said Cannon. "Because of his family, if he needs to move, we go with," re plied Stewart standing by Cannon. "It might seem extreme, but you're doing it for your future," said Cannon. "I think the reason why people see it as extreme is because it is in fact a dream, not an actual real ity," said Cannon Their album re lease will be tak ing place at the Dragonfly night club in down town Harrisburg on November 4. Their main rea sons for choos ing the Dragonfly is that it has a big stage a great sound system, but most impor tantly it is one of the few places they can perform to an all-ages crowd.
