However, with great relief, it’s clear this Orange County, CA act has plenty of gas left in the tank and enough focus and drive to provide a career-defining album. Their new effort, "...And the Rest Will Follow", is about the four-piece’s return to their adventurous pursuit for music as an exciting outlet. For this release, PROJECT 86 knew they had to do something brand new, while still managing to capture their classic, unique sound. So, the band travelled to Vancouver, B.C. to team up with Gggarth Richardson (Rage Against the Machine, Chevelle, Atreyu) the producer who was at the helm for PROJECT 86's most successful release to date, 'Drawing Black Lines'.

"We were forced to be more vulnerable than we had ever been in making this album," vocalist Andrew Schwab explains. "We pushed ourselves to go further musically, to find something new deeper down. This is definitely our most diverse release, with as much focus on melody as there is on destruction.” Refreshingly versatile, the production quality is dirty and raw, complimenting the song-writing of Bassist Steven Dail and Guitarist Randy Torres, who adhere a subtle and effective “less-is-more” approach that features substance over flash. Simply put, there is a life to the new record that is missing on a majority of heavy albums today. You can sense that this band has boiled everything down to what matters: great songwriting with heart and purpose. Citing a broad array of influences from Queens of the Stone Age to Hatebreed to The Faint, it is hard to pinpoint what category to place the new incarnation of PROJECT 86 into. And they wouldn't have it any other way. Schwab states, "I don't see us fitting into scene-core land. That's just fine by us. The bands that last are the ones that pave their own paths.”
