We hope you had a great holiday and are planning on
a fantastic new year. It has been said that '07 was a year of endings
and '08 is to be a year of new beginnings. That is certainly true in
our case
as we re-invent ourselves with a brand new outlook for 2008.
We have been getting together to write and record some of our new ideas
and have been pleasantly surprised by the results. We are so excited
we decided to break the rules a bit and let you download a pre-release
cut
that will be on the new record. Feel free to share it with your friends,

Currently Boston based, The Conniption Fits formed in 2003
when Former Motorplant singer Steve Blanchard hooked up with bass player
Erik Von Geldern. The two
wrote and recoded the songs “Did It Too Easily”, “Agony
Of Defeat” and “All I’ve Found” available on the
group’s first album. Erik met Seth Roya while attending college at
Johnson State in Vermont. Seth then joined The Conniption Fits in 2004 bringing
his showmanship and flare for drumming to the group. The Fits have since
released their first full length CD, “Aiplane Rides”, which has
received tons of local airplay and a front-page review in the Manchester
Union Leader (Jan 25-29 weekend edition 2007). “Airplane Rides” continues
to sell very well and is available on iTunes (and many other digital music
stores) as well as record stores nationwide. The group is currently working
on a much anticipated follow up record due out in 2008.
The album "Airplane Rides" was written and recorded over the period
of three years. "This album has been refined many times", says
vocalist Steve Blanchard, "We have really put our souls into this and
then went back for that extra 10%." The CD does not let down. From the
first track to the last it ebbs and flows always capturing a specific emotion
and building on it. Upbeat rock tunes like "Play To Win" and "Did
It Too Easily" lend a brilliant contrast to the mournful longing of "Exit
Breath" and the contemplative "Poor Johnny Ray". The production
is top-notch adding a crystal clear finish to these well produced songs.
We can expect big things in the future from The Conniption Fits.
With Motorplant, Steve Blanchard (vocals guitar) has performed more than
1500 shows and has shared stages with acts like Fastball, Blue Oyster Cult,
Mountain, Warrant, Cinderella and 3 Doors Down to name a few. He has had
songs on MTV and ESPN’s X-Games as well as national radio. Erik Von
Geldern (bass) and Seth Roya (drums) have been performing for years in and
out of the studio. They have both completed music degrees at Johnson State
College in Vermont.
