Released their first album, recorded entirely on an iPhone

Little-known rock band from Alabama One Like Son decided to challenge herself

Having conceived a third album after a decade hiatus, January 1, 2010 frontman Stephen Poff team vowed to burn the whole year a new collection of songs exclusively from the iPhone-using applications.

Poff (vocals, guitar, bass, organ) and his colleague Bill Rester, Perry Brown and Brian Segreyvz just recorded their party at any time convenient to them, and then combined tracks. The album, which includes 11 tracks, was completed before the New Year.

Musicians point to some obvious advantages to this approach. First, do not have to collect all members of the band in the studio, painfully choosing the time that would suit all at once. Second, to what teamwork and rehearsals. Third, it is much cheaper than renting a studio.

On the other hand, messing with the paths on the "iPhone" is more difficult than on professional equipment.

The group took advantage of applications such as FourTrack, MultiTrack DAW, AmpKit and ThumbJam. And the program has allowed musicians to connect GuitarJack to your phone instruments and microphones.

The album, entitled Start the Show sold on iTunes, Bandcamp. This is the first album in history, recorded entirely on an iPhone. Previous experiments have been modest. For example, a pop group from Los Angeles, "88" recorded the hit Love is the Thing with the application FourTrack, and Gorillaz took the iPad to create a kind of musical diary during a tour of the United States.
