Arizona’s Greenley Estates got their start in 2002; since then released five LPs and an EP going from three different labels until they were satisfied with what Tragic Hero Records had to offer. 2010 was the year that they released their fourth LP “No Rain, No Rainbow” and now one year later their fifth LP “The Death of Greenley Estates” is set for release.

Frontman Ryan Zimmerman of Greeley Estates told AMP Magazine, “We’re thinking of kind of combining the last two records, Go West and No Rain, to kind of bring back some singing and have a little bit of melody but still have the heavy. I’m not sure yet on the lyrical direction.”

“I think it’s a new challenge. I think trying to do something that we didn’t do on the record before-we want to have a little bit of a shock value each time. The last two albums were a shock to people as far as what was coming from Greeley Estates. We started off some of early albums with pop songs so we’ve changed a lot over the years but we want to kind of have that same approach going into this record too. We just want to try and figure out what we can do to combine the things we know our fans love and what we love to perform but also do something a little different.”

Already several singles have been popping up which include “The Last Dance”, “Friendly Neighborhood Visit”, and “Straitjacket” all of which are on the band’s Facebook page. “The Death of Greenley Estates” will be released August 2, via Tragic Hero Records.
