IDEAMEN'S "New Album Pre Order Campaign / Merch & Touring Vehicle Fundraiser" is happening now at www.iloveideamen.com . This is a totally DIY campaign DIRECTLY with Ideamen & their fans.
Ideamen is releasing their new album Trained When We're Young on Rotten Records, scheduled for Friday, August 25th 2017. This long awaited release continues to carry the bands signature sound laid down in previous albums May You Live In Interesting Times and Schemata while exploring a bit broader musical path & making it their own. The overall vibe of Trained When We're Young is a vibrant blend of bi-polarism, from the dark hallways of "Cold As February" to the abject giddiness of "This Message", the stoner rock space anthem-ness of "Beg For A Plea" to "Rainy Days" with a laid back sound sopping wet & laying in a puddle somewhere on Abbey Road. Whether or not you are familiar with Ideamen, you will appreciate the alternatively dreamy yet crunchy guitars, precise explosions of drums, finely crafted keyboard melodies, gritty driving bass, and beautifully arranged and layered vocal harmonies.
Ideamen hails from Chicago Illinois, formed in 2007 by Tim Swanson (Keyboards and Vocals), Mark Vasquez (Bass), Dave Solar (Vocals) and Phil Goodrich (Drums), and have since added Phil Miller and Greg Millikan (Guitars). Their first EP Progress was well received by fans and critics around the world with its unique blend of Classical, Punk, and Salsa. The success of the initial release gave Ideamen enough momentum to sign on with Rotten Records in 2009, releasing their first full length album May You Live In Interesting Times. It picked up where Progress left off, taking a Queen inspired approach to the vocal production that would ultimately help shape Ideamens sound. Schemata, their second album on Rotten released in 2014, encapsulated a mood darker than its predecessor, with reoccurring melodies infused with a tone of hopelessness peppered brilliantly throughout this masterpiece.
Ideamen has sold albums around the world and shared the stage with such artists as Foxy Shazam, Tub-Ring, Green Jelly, Psychostick and Civil Twilight. The fate of the world may look bleak, but Ideamen will be carrying a torch & touring on the release of Trained When We're Young throughout 2017.

This was a very early Ideamen song and has gone through a few incarnations until it got to here. I bitched at Tim for years to do something with it because it's always been one of my favorites.
@bw000m
didnt know that!!! its cool learning about the history of songs like this, especially more obscure stuff like ideamen where its hard to find many records of what went on with them online
@JalenRawley
@@bw000m I think they probably would put more information out about the details behind stuff if they thought people were interested in it. There's only so much space in the liner notes and it's tough to know what content to put on your website. Some bands have TONS of stuff and others keep it really stripped down and simple.
@Seth-12345
Ive only been able to listen to this song on snapchat, for some reason the band didnt upload it to youtube, but finally I dont have to waste all my skips to listen to it
@bw000m
LOL yeah this is the exact reason why i uploaded the album here. it was so inconvenient to listen to!
if u wanna download it urself its on amazon music (and a physical cd is available via the ideamen website)
