Synopsis

Product Description
"You could consider the sound alt-country, but then you would be leaving out a lot of stuff: bombastic beats, rock riffage, punk attitude. Watching Collin Herring perform live, its hard to take your eyes away from the stage." Recorded entirely live so that Collin could achieve the "unproduced sound" he sought, the record was produced and engineered by Matt Pence (Centro-matic, The Polyphonic Spree, American Music Club) at his secluded studio south of Denton. Acclaimed by Harp Magazine as "one hell of a debut," Avoiding the Circus was declared Album of the Year by the Fort Worth Weekly, and Collin himself was simultaneously named Best New Artist (2003). The Star Telegrams Malcolm Mayhew also listed the album as one of the Top 5 Local Records of the Year, and his songs have been featured on compilation albums for the Midpoint Music Festival, Miles of Music and the North Texas New Music Festival.
