Timeshares offers free song download

“None of us were particularly happy with our lives but realized things could be worse. I think the idea that bearable could describe so many aspects of our lives was very fitting,” TIMESHARES bassist/vocalist Mike Natoli explains regarding his band’s debut full-length BEARABLE. Set for release on October 25th as a joint digital/vinyl release by Kind Of Like Records and Kiss Of Death Records, Timeshares is offering a FREE download of the new song “Too Many ELO Days” on the band’s website: www.timesharesmusic.com.

The follow-up to their highly touted three-song demo and split 7-inch with Captain, We’re Sinking, Bearable finds the four friends in Timeshares honing their passionate and sincere punk rock. Boasting a dozen tracks that will immediately incite raised fists and shout alongs at live shows, Bearable includes re-recorded and re-worked versions the band’s original demos and a song off their split, reflecting how much the Downstate New York band has grown since forming two years ago. “Bearable is the record we wanted to make and the foot forward we wanted to put down,” says guitarist/vocalist Jon Hernandez. “Even the songs from the initial demo are now recorded after given the time to develop from a band who was learning to mold into what we've hoped to become. Though, that’s not to say we’re there yet at all.” Self recorded at the band’s own studio (where they have also recorded Spraynard, Sundials and more), Natoli adds “We were able to spend extra time on anything we thought needed it. We didn’t want to compromise anything to preserve our voices so being able to rest was a big help. In the end, we were happy with everything we recorded, which may not have happened if we were racing the clock.”


Dripping with gruff, shout-along verses, gang-vocal choruses and four-part harmonies, it is the honest and sincere songwriting that really stands out on Bearable. Filled with true to heart songs about the highs and lows, ups and downs the band members have faced over the last two years, friendships and relationships, and feelings of isolation, Timeshares tell it like it is and don’t offer filtered, unrealistic optimism on their full-length debut.


Timeshares will be announcing Fall tour dates shortly, which includes a stop at the annual Fest in Gainesville, FL and has shared the stage with Lemuria, Bridge & Tunnel, Iron Chic, The Menzingers, among many others. Timeshares is Jason Mosher (guitar/vocals), Eric Bedell (drums/vocals), Mike Natoli (bass/vocals), and Jon Hernandez (guitar/vocals).
