Get To Know ANIMALS AS LEADERS' Tosin Abasi
During one of many late night internet spirals, I came across this gem of a video featuring Animals As Leaders main man, Tosin Abasi, talking shop. I'm not a guitar player so I certainly didn't expect to get much from a video meant to plug the Atlanta Institute of Music's guitar course, but it turned out to be a fantastic interview clip with lots of insight and stories behind Abasi's life, told by the man himself. He touches on subjects like how he got where he is today, the importance of understanding your instrument to it's fullest potential, knowing your limits, technical playing in today's music, endorsements, and even how he's handling his own success. It's definitely worth the watch for any fan of AAL and/or career oriented musicians. (more…)

Thankfully, Animals As Leaders guitarist Tosin Abasi posted this incredibly soothing video of a young girl covering an AAL song on harp, and it's just what the doctor ordered. (more…)

ANIMALS AS LEADERS Working With PERIPHERY's Misha Mansoor On Their New Album RIGHT NOW!
While I appreciated the sophomore Animals As Leaders release, Weightless, it didn't pack the same punch as the original release. The original had such replay value… I could listen to it anytime. Maybe the missing ingredient from the second album was producer, Periphery guitarist and drum programming mastermind Misha Mansoor.
Well it looks like that missing ingredient is back in the fold. (more…)
