It’s Thursday night, and there are exactly nine days before Tripleswift leaves to play a week of shows in LA. The mood in the band room is tense—they’re trying to record some new material and get CDs pressed before they leave, and their hectic schedules have meant that they haven’t actually practiced in almost two months. Frustrated, one of the members snaps that if they can’t play a tight set no one will ever listen to their demo. But the new demo CD is also important—possibly as important as playing a solid set.
