Summary
Cannons are able to commit like never before. With a newfound level of success, the band created their latest album, 'Everything Glows,' out March 27, with the band finally being their full-time job.
"We're super excited to share 'Everything Glows' with everyone," Michelle Joy tells Kevin Ryder and Megan Holiday during a visit to KROQ in Los Angeles. "We've been working on it really hard over the past year."
"It's the first album that we were able to focus on because we don't have full-time jobs other than Cannons now, and we didn't tour for the past year. So we were able to just get in the studio every day and make music and have a good time together and learn new ways of writing together and enjoy the experience."
The new chapter for the band kicks off with their single, "Starlight," which Joy says is about "finding light in the dark."
For more on what the band did before finding success, and how a Craigslist ad started it all, check out the full conversation above.
