Taproot: New Album Release Date

Ann Arbor, Michigan hard rock band Taproot has set an August 5 release date through Velvet Hammer Music for the group's new album, entitled "Our Long Road Home".

Taproot recently posted a new song, entitled "You're Not Home Tonight", on the group's official blog.

The band's follow-up to 2005's "Blue-Sky Research" was reportedly produced by Tim Patalan and is the group's first album since parting with Atlantic Records in June 2006. They're also reportedly working on a DVD, but there's no word as to when that will see the light of day.

Bassist Phil Lipscomb previously stated about the new CD's title, "[it] is a unique and expressive tribute to our newly found collective freedom of creativity as a band, with no strings attached. It's a tribute to the casual and comfortable settings of being at home with friends and family — a place we love to be."

Check out footage from the recording studio at this location.

Taproot, which formed in 1997, is perhaps best known for its 2002 album, "Welcome". It included the hit singles "Poem" and "Welcome".

Maybe Billy Corgan will keep his hands off it and this album will be good... Like they were before Blue Sky Research. I miss the days of Gift. Fingers crossed...

About damn time... been waiting for them to put something out for a while. Now if we could just get OneSideZero to release a third album... *crosses fingers*

Yeah, no, I would think they were better known for the song Calling off of blue sky research - i think that was much more popular

[officially dead]

Blue Sky Research was probably the best musicial direction they toook. If the new album continue with it, it will be good.

Dude - OnesideZero just did an album recently - wasn't that great though. Half the original lineup is gone, and they're trying really hard to be metal. They should have stuck to their own style which was uniquely theirs to begin with.

[365_days_gone]

umm...Onesidezeros second album was sweet. They're so underrated.
