Smashing Pumpkins drummer Mike Byrne has opened up about the band's forthcoming album Oceania, and while speaking with MusicRadar.com he said it has a very "Led Zeppelin-vibe."
"At the beginning of the record we have a real one-two punch with real furious drumming," he explained. "We [have] a song called 'Quaser,' which has flam fives all over the thing. We spent all night honing the parts and didn't do a single take, just ironing out every fill."
"The next day we came in and did the check your tones take and by the time I was finished they called me into the control room and we'd done it on the first take. That was the happiest surprise of the three weeks," he added.
