Abandoning Sunday was started in 2008 by Michael Thomas. He says that, "The goal is to write simple lyrics that people can relate to at some point in their lives. If I've done that, then I'm content." Abandoning Sunday have released several singles, as well as a full-band album titled "Forget", as well as the "Rest" and "Forgive" acoustic EPs, and the acoustic album "Reflect [Part 1]".
Abandoning Sunday's second album is due for release in August/September 2014 and Michael has said that I can work with any track off of that album or any previous album for the music video, and that he will help however he can. "Reflect [Part 2]" is scheduled for release next year, and this means I could produce some potential artwork for the digipak for this release.
Here is Abandoning Sunday's latest track, a taster of what is to come off of the new album: "In Your Dreams".
And this is the acoustic video for "Miles and States", taken from "Reflect [Part 1]":
Although he is an American act, Abandoning Sunday could be compared to several British acts in different ways. The theme of lyrics and style of the full band tracks could be likened to Irish pop rock group The Script, whereas the calmer tracks and more acoustic side could be compared to Kodaline, You Me At Six, Deaf Havana or Tom Odell. This means I can still carry out audience research effectively without hindering the project. I decided to work with Abandoning Sunday after having immense difficulties with many British acts: Call It Reckless, Hunter & The Bear, The Afterparty and Empire Nights all said they would like to, but couldn't work with me on the project due to schedules, current releases or band difficulties. Speaking In Shadows couldn't due to their location, and I never received a reply from Hours, All At Sea, The Oceans Above, Octavians or Headroom. The management team from Hunter & The Bear proposed the prospect of working with another act they had just taken on, but I never received any additional information after following it up. Hence, when Abandoning Sunday replied to my contact form saying he was happy to work with me, it was decided.
