With the full album release just around the corner, in part 2 of the Big Album Reveal, the band unveils the second half of the album tracks. Jack and Rob delve into a little bit of the story behind each of the tracks, playing some clips and pulling back the curtain of some of the production secrets behind 'A Year To Live'.

Thanks again to everyone for your support throughout the year, especially all the guests who helped make it an even more fun and enlightening project! See you for season 2......maybe ;)

The album launch is just around the corner and so to celebrate and to bring this series to a close Jack and Rob go through the album one track at a time, breaking down how all the individual tracks came together. This episode features the first 7 tracks with the rest of the tracks coming on part 2 next time (which will hopefully coincide with the album release!)

Please follow @thebeartax on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter for band updates now and into the future.

As we near the end of Season 1 and the album release, Rob and Jack reflect on the journey and discuss the biggest lessons they each learned along the way.

The hosts ponder if they were to do it all again what would they do differently? And what advice would they give to anyone else wanting to do a similar Tunelighting project?

Jack and Rob bring another listener and fellow Tunelighter onto the show to talk about all things songwriting and music production. Mark Newlove has been writing, producing, and performing music in bands and as a singer-songwriter for many years and in the interview he shares valuable advice and stories in this entertaining episode.

In this week's episode, the band has a big announcement. It's time to release the first single! The hosts discuss how they are prepping for this event as well as working through some more announcements.

The first single 'One Wish' should be available in the next few days when Spotify and other services post them.

Making an album isn't just about the music, ok it mainly is, but album artwork is something that shouldn't be overlooked. Whilst the band wait for their masters to be returned they are discussing the other essential things that are required prior to the album launch. Is album artwork still important? Why is it important? Why are certain covers so iconic? All this discussed and more in this week's episode.

Please follow @thebeartax on social media as we begin to post music over the coming weeks and months :)

The album is complete and now the question arises of how to actually get people to hear it. So in this episode, the hosts speak with music marketing blogger Reagan Ramm from orpheusaudioacademy.com.

The wide-ranging conversation covers everything from picking a 'micro-genre' to using social media ads to grow quickly.

With the year now up it's time to get the finished songs off to be mastered and with that in mind, Jack and Rob have realized they need to figure out which order the tracks are going to go in. This throws up more questions than they thought!

As mentioned the album is now complete and we hope to release the first single in the next couple of weeks so keep an eye out!
