Christian Rock Band Spoken Look to Reach Flex Goals with New Album Kickstarter Campaign

Spoken

Christian rock band Spoken has less than two days left on their Kickstarter campaign and although they have reached their $20,000 goal, they are seeking another $15,000 to hit their flex goals.

The band sought out to raise money to record their new album and is currently sitting at around $25K in funds. They will be begin the work on the unnamed album on April 5.

"So we've settled on a STRETCH GOAL for our Kickstarter campaign! If we hit $35K we will not only record 2 additional songs to be released on the album, but we will also shoot another music video!" they wrote on Facebook. "If you've already pre-ordered the new album, that's great! Please share our kickstarter with as many people as you can! For those who have yet to pick their package, now is your time! Although we've hit our minimum goal, every penny gives us more time in the studio and ultimately more material for you!"

Some of the higher priced perked packages that are still remaining are the Production Plus Package, which lets band's get a 5 song EP created with Spoken for $2,000, a personal Spoken rock show in your own garage for $1,200, and the $500 single song production package for bands.

"2015 is a new year full of new life for Spoken, starting the new year with a clean slate, free from our management, booking and label relationships that did a great job helping us get this far," they wrote on Kickstarter. We are now 100% independent and couldn't be happier with where we are at. God willing, this puts us fully in the drivers seat to write the music we want to write, be the band we want to be and do the things we want to do."

BREATHEcast interviewed lead singer Matt Baird about the new upcoming record back in December. At that point it was just taking shape with a couple of ideas. Read the full interview here.

"We started writing right now. There's a solid eleven ideas. Some of the songs have music already," Baird revealed. He said he has been tied up in other places at the moment, and so far there is a couple of scratch vocals. "We don't want to do another Illusion, we don't want to do another self-titled, we don't want to do another Echoes, we need to do something that continues to make this band grow as Christians, as songwriters. It's something that a lot of bands that have inspired us over the years, and feedback from people. It's not going to be the same record as we've done before."
