MySpace Music is holding an online album listening party today, April 16th, where fans can listen to the entire album before release at MySpace.com/megdia . Here, here and here (order your copy from MNN) was written and recorded with producer Howard Benson (My Chemical Romance, All American Rejects). Over the course of its 13 brand-new studio tracks (written entirely by the Frampton sisters, Meg and Dia), the album chronicles the past few years in the life of this hardworking band, which is made up of Meg (guitar, vocals), Dia (lead vocal), Nick Price (drums), Carlo Gimenez (guitar), and Jonathan Snyder (bass). Here, here and here also showcases Meg & Dia's growing ability to express themselves with their music by incorporating new instrument arrangements and a new pool of lyrical influences, as well as developing their distinctive brand of pop-rock.
