The Billboard This is My Suitcase is the definition of a nontraditional band. Born in 2005 as the brainchild of Joseph Anthony Camerlengo, the band recorded their first full-length album “Missent to Thailand” in 2006. This album was recorded within the walls of Camerlengo's bedroom using a computer microphone and a whole lot of ingenuity. Camerlengo soon enlisted the help of friends to round out the musicalroster and bring life to the songs and sounds that once only existed in the confines of his bedroom walls. With Nicholas Manos on guitar, Jeremy Skeen on drums, Joseph Fitzgerald on bass and Mary Lynn Gloeckle behind the keys This is My Suitcase forged ahead in their unruly ways by self-released an insurmountable amount of freakish pop music over the internet, free of any charge to it's lucky listener, including: The C EP (2006), The C.R.E. ep (2007), and countless other original songs, cover songs (from The Beach Boys to Michael Jackson), and limited-release tour theme songs to coincide with each of their tours. By January 1st of 2008, a fat-ruled notebook had been filled red cover-to-red cover with production, recording, mixing, and vocal notes for the next This Is My Suitcase full-length album. Six months later, the raucous band overtook Mike Green's (The Matches, Paramore) Los Angeles studio during the graveyard shift (usually eleven pm to dawn), working themselves in and out of a comatose state for two weeks of recording drums and shattering glass. As quickly as they came, the band soon found themselves back in Columbus, Ohio, chauffeuring a laptop and broken microphone from random location to random location, recording woodwinds, strings, horns, saws, and tinkerings on their record, literally every single day. This was still only the beginning, as the self-recording of their new album “The Keys To Cat Heaven” would stretch on for eight more long months. However, their meticulous work has paid off, as the band’s new album is their greatest collection of music to date. It is at once poppy, playful, witty, ironic and rocking. Any fan of music looking for something unique will not be disappointed in the way This is My Suitcase rattles the cage of traditional pop music and song-writing on “The Keys to Cat Heaven.”

Everyone else: I never look at comments, but I looked at these. Thanks for being so nice and appreciative of this music that we put so much time into recording!! Your compliments rule so hard that the Zombies sound even better than usual right now <3<3<3
HC565: my pseduo-apoligies for the wind organ version of "me and you" on our album. i love it. this wild recording is by far my favorite moment on our record; however, i realize that it might be hard for a lot of others, including yourself, to love it as their own, so i understand if it throws you through a vicious loop. sometimes, when you have spent every single day for a year meticulously laying out the same fourteen pop songs and you feel yourself start to fall apart, you just need to say "fuck it", grab the wind organ that she bought you at a thrift store, set up a single microphone in the room, and play the saddest song in your life...or at least that has been my experience. and so this rendition of "me and you" was born. if you never find room in your heart for this version, at least you've got the C ep hehe. if it helps to know, my mom doesn't like this version either; she called it "drug-induced". thanks for all the love, nonetheless!!
buy our record if you like it. im so fuckin' broke.
Joseph Anthony Camerlengo, this is my suitcase
EDIT:
addition for the sake of explanation: this is not my personal ap account. this is the account that our band collectively created from a hotel on tour so that we could make a band profile; however, that will not stop me from leaving comments as i see fit with this account. | | |
