Chattanooga Times Free Press entertainment reporter Casey Phillips spoke with Matt Pelham, lead singer of Nashville-based power pop/rock quartet The Features, about recording their third album, their high-profile gigs in 2010 and the use of their music in movies and TV.
Casey Phillips: How was 2010 for you guys?
Matt Pelham: It was good. We released the last record, “Some Kind of Salvation,” near the end of 2009, early fall, so we did quite a bit of touring through the year. Around July, we started recording another record. We did some touring in the U.K. and some touring here in the U.S. and started another record, which is good. Now, we’re back home waiting for that record to get a little closer to being released.
CP: So it’s coming soon?
MP: Yeah, it’s scheduled for some time in May. I’m not sure what the date will be, officially.
