Yesterday, we posted a clip of “Sick as a Gun,” from Weinland’s new album. Here’s what singer/songwriter Adam Shearer said about the making of this song:

I had the guitar part, so we just recorded that. We were almost done with the whole record, and I hadn’t written a single lyric or a single melody and we were already mixing all the other songs. It was, like, we have to put vocals on this song or we’re fucked. We didn’t have money to do extra days [in the studio] or anything, so I just asked everybody to leave and I drank some whiskey and just wrote some stuff, and people came back and gave me feedback on my ideas, and we just laid it down and that was it. It was like, we’re gonna try this and see what it is, so out popped “Sick as a Gun,” which I think is one of the better tracks on the record. But that was very much, the whole song was recorded and done before I’d even written a lyric.
