ESG To Enter Studio Again

Before they head to Audstralia to play the Sugar Mountain festival in January, Street Press Australia scribe Aarom Wilson caught up with ESG's Renee Scroggins who revealed a couple of interesting pieces of information about the band's future.

The band recently released Clousreand aptly titled record given the band proclaimed it would be their last, but Scroggins seemed to suggest otherwise in conversation.

"We're actually ready to go into the studio and record something new," she revealed. "We thought Closure was going to be it but unfortunately, well fortunately it's good, because we're writing something based upon new things that go on in our lives and I think, you know, we're really emotional, so if something goes on in our lives we want to express it musically."

The new material is said to feature ESG in perhaps its most purest form, as a true Scroggins family affair.

"Actually, it's very, very interesting because we actually got a very interesting thing going on. I mean, we've had some issues with my younger sister about the music and stuff, but now we've got it together and we're all talking to one another, and, you know, we're working on something… It's basically about issues and things that go on in our life, so yeah I think you might actually have the original ESG you wanted to cut, all the sons and daughters and what have you… So I think this has to be done!”

The forthcoming Australian shows have been billed as part of the band's final ever tour, but Renee Scroggins is unwilling to confirm that the band won't continue to tour in the future.

“Well, we never really know, I'll tell you just like that – we never really know. I feel maybe [this will be their final tour] but then again we're recording, like I said, this new album. And it's funny because I've actually been approached by people to do a tour of the West Coast up to Vancouver and I thought, 'Oh dear god!' It's funny because in America I've never actually been to Las Vegas and it's on this tour, and I thought, 'wow, interesting!' If there's somewhere adventurous and I want to go to, yeah, I might just consider it!"
