The album’s title track “Coming Apart” is a tribute to Kevin Hines (HBO’s The Bridge), who attempted suicide at the age of 19 and survived jumping off the Golden Gate Bridge. Hines is one of the few to ever survive the suicide plunge from 245 feet above the water and is now an advocate for several suicide prevention organisations. Upon hearing about Hines’ story, the band found themselves inspired by the turn of events and wrote “Coming Apart” in his honour.The album was produced by Rick Boston & Engineered by Robin Holden.It consists of ten tracks one of which is a remake of the David Bowie song "Young Americans".
The video for the title track Coming Apart was filmed on location in downtown Los Angeles & was directed by Matt Bailey.It features Kevin Hines (The Bridge).Kevins story was the inspiration behind the song .The video is soon to be featured on Yahoo!Music's New Video Station. Mark recently performed three songs at the Yahoo!Music headquaters in Santa Monica,CA.These live recordings of Amazed,No Surprise & Coming Apart are also to be featured on Yahoo! Music.com.
The band have also collaborated with Daniel Ash from Bauhaus & Love & Rockets to do a remix of Young Americans. The idea of working together came about while both artists were recording in Swinghouse studios,Hollywood,CA.
