Rival Schools. Did you know? Walter from Rival Schools is credited with “pre-production and arrangements” on the forthcoming Sinch record. How so? A&R dude Paul Conroy spills the beans… “Basically, Walter fell in love with the band’s demos and wanted to get involved with the project in any way possible. For about month Walter worked with the bands on developing their songs. Each Monday for a month, Walter would take train from New York to the band’s home town of Doylestown, PA where he would spend the week with the band in their garage working on material for the album. Walter lived with the singer during the visit. Walter did not write any songs on the record but he did help the band develop their own song-writing ideas very similar to what a producer would do. Walter was a big help to the band. The band and Walter have remained very close friends.”
