What's Dan Keyes (Recover/Young Love) Up To Now?
 
A new article on Dan Keyes (Recover/Young Love) talking about his experiences with the music industry and labels, and how he's a music publisher now -- can be found here.
From the ArticleThe music industry, however, was in the throes of dealing with plummeting sales and a business model that no longer worked, and things over at Island Def Jam had changed. “I came back, and Rob Stevenson had left; my whole team over there was pretty much gone,” Dan said. “So I was kind of dead in the water over there. The first record got a great push, and it did well and got me a lot of exposure and brought me to the first step of where I needed to be, but by the time I was ready to record the second, everybody at the label had gone.”

i saw them at Kilby Court in SLC. super small garage-like place. they played with Armor For Sleep and Say Anything.

i wish they'd release a new album or do a full tour... sounds like we're going to be waiting (again) for awhile (if ever)

yesssss!


saw Recover at the same tour with Armor For Sleep. super small venue, and bunch of people left after Armor For Sleep played, so Recover only played for like 20-30 people. oddly enough some of the stuff from that show is on Armor For Sleep's dvd.

Saw them in 2002 opening for Taking Back Sunday. I didn't know them but I was blown away.
