Chiodos frontman Craig Owens has announced the release of his first solo album, VOLUME 1, due out on August 18th. The album will reimagine tracks from his past bands including Chiodos, D.R.U.G.S. (Destroy Rebuild Until God Shows), badXchannels, and Isles & Glaciers.
He’s offered the first preview of the album with a piano-driven ballad version of the Chiodos classic “Baby, You Wouldn’t Last A Minute On The Creek.”
Owens said of the track:
“‘Baby, You Wouldn’t Last A Minute on the Creek’ is a song about a relationship that has reached a point of stagnation or dissatisfaction and a desire to end a relationship that has lost its spark and meaning. The song portrays a sense of disillusionment, a desire for a clean break, and an acknowledgment that walking away is the best course of action despite the pain.”
