Head Automatica has made it’s way to Alternative Press magazine for their “Most Anticipated Albums of 2008“.

Expect It: Summer on Warner Bros.

Daryl Palumbo’s 2008 day planner is filled with promises of a new Glassjaw album, as well as debuts from House of Blow [his hip-hop project with Hatebreed’s Sean Martin] and United Nations [his grind-fest with members of Thursday, Converge and the Lovekill]. But we really wanna know what’s goin’ on with the third album from Head Automatica, DP’s vehicle for anything from big-band funk to British pub rock. “Something that’s going to run throughout the whole thing is melody,” says the singer, responding in a speed usually reserved for auctioneers. “Tons of melody- that’s what I do for a living. It’s going to be darker, [the songs will] be grimy and dancefloor-friendly because I want people to move when they hear it. I’m not trying to make hip-hop songs with me singing hooks on them; I’m tryin’ t’ make electronic shit that definitely bumps-hard.” Pre-production for the disc began in late September, and although the band haven’t determined a producer or a full-time drummer yet, Head A recently enlisted NYHC icon Sammy Siegler [Gorilla Biscuits, Youth of Today, Judge] for a few gigs. “We’re still the same posh, bar-rockin’ band we always were,” says the singer. “Okay, maybe not posh. Let’s say, well-dressed.”
