Meanwhile in Burbank... is a 2015 studio EP by American hard rock band Stone Sour. The EP consists of five cover songs from bands that influenced the members. It is the first Stone Sour recording to feature guitarist Christian Martucci and bassist Johny Chow.
Development
Stone Sour started working on the album February 2014. Guitarist Josh Rand stated, “Back in February of 2014 while Stone Sour was touring, Corey approached me about Stone Sour doing a cover of the Metal Church song "The Dark" for the movie Fear Clinic. I thought it would be cool not only to record "The Dark", but the five cover songs that we had played on that tour. The idea was not to shy away from a song because it was popular or pick a band that most people might not have heard, but to pick ones that truly meant something to one of us at some point in our life.” There will be two more covers EPs after the first is released.
Marketing
The album's cover artwork was revealed on March 2, 2015,[1] while the track list was revealed the following day.[2]
