OneThe Livin' It Live Tour 2012Following the release of their second album Dirty Valentine, One has spent the better part of the last 2 years on the road, taking the music to the people. Crossing North America countless times and selling thousands of their 2 releases in the process. "This life is not for everyone", explains guitarist Chris Staniforth. "Surviving on the road is definitely something that you learn to do, and that is where you find success".From member changes to tours not always going as expected One has been through the ups and downs. "The changes were by far the best decisions we ever made. They brought new energy and a feeling of complete chemistry that was definitely lacking early on", explains Singer Danny Rossi.Having peaked at #77 on Les Palmares (Quebec version of the Billboard charts) and also having won an award for Rock song of the Year in 2009 for Today Will Last Forever, as well as being one of the most active independent touring bands in the last couple of years, ONE is showing no signs of slowing down. " We are committed to this, we love this, this is all we know. We have worked for a living, but now we live to work. It is so much more fulfilling when you see something you have been working on grow the way this has" explains Rossi.Keep a close eye out for a new release or One in your city near you as the band continues to write new chapters in their history with every passing tour and accomplishment.After the success of their Sophomore release "Dirty Valentine". The One boys felt incredibly inspired to begin working on a new album. Having spent the better part of the last 3 years touring, there was a lot of excitement about getting back into writing mode. "You spend all that time out on the road, you see so much, experience so much and have so much to say. You just gotta sit down and begin to put it all down on paper", says Danny Rossi."Being away from home so much makes you feel a certain way that at times is hard to put into words. It is an amazing feeling to have great fans and friends so far away from home," says guitarist Chris Staniforth.Having had success and a good vibe recording "Dirty Valentine" One decided to again acquire the services of Slaves on Dope guitarist Kevin Jardine. "He did a good job on the last record. He provides a good mix of honesty and input that just works well with us," says Staniforth.The band spent way more time preparing for the studio process than the last record. Building a small pre-production studio in the house on one of the band members, making it way easier to get work done. "We began putting stuff together and getting a feel for where we were going with this record, continues Staniforth.
