Fred Mascherino took the path that few musicians dare to tread, he left a successful band in the dust to write and release his solo album. It takes some guts, but beyond that it takes an unavoidable passion to follow the beat of one’s own drum, or in this case…one’s own guitar.
With Taking Back Sunday still in the rear view mirror Mascherino headed into the studio with producer Lou Giordano resulting in his first solo album titled Bend To Break. It was recorded in just four short weeks and was followed by a North American tour that allowed Fred’s fans to see him in a new light…as a commanding front man.
Now working on a second studio album Mascherino feels that his sound is constantly evolving and that there is always room to grow. Recently Fred took some time to talk to TWRY staffer Vicky about his solo project and the future of it, as well as his love and support for preserving our environment.
