One might think that juggling two bands - and two different touring schedules, for that matter - as Craig Owens and Bradley Bell do with Chiodos and Cinematic Sunrise, would cause some major headaches. Fortunately, the pair’s pop-rock project is strictly about having a good time and making music that is innocent and fun to play. “Basically, the whole idea - everything about Cinematic Sunrise - is just happy and fun. And there’s nothing more fun than coloring,” explains vocalist Craig Owens about the decision to include a coloring book with their aptly titled debut EP A Coloring Storybook and Long Playing Record, illustrated by Rob Dobi.

Owens certainly has a point, and he and his band mates capture that carefree pop sound in their music. The project is rounded out by Bradley Bell (keys), Bryan Beeler (guitar), Marcus VanKirk (bass) and Dave Shapiro (drums). “With Cinematic Sunrise, it’s just more smiles,” explains Owens of the main difference between their sound and Chiodos’, for which he fronts and Bell plays keyboard. “To me, it’s just good-time music,” says Bell. “A soundtrack to a party… it’s music for a wide audience, so I really hope a lot of people can appreciate it and understand what we’re doing.”

Bell and Owens enjoy the outlet Cinematic Sunrise gives them from the harder, more angsty sound of Chiodos - even if the band first began on somewhat of a whim. When Chiodos had completed writing their full-length debut, All’s Well That Ends Well (2005, Equal Vision Records), most of the band were burned out on the creating process. Owens, however, still felt like he had songs he needed to get out.

Craig said way back when that his side-projects (this and I&G) were 'one time things' so yeah, I doubt they'll make another album. Which makes me sad. Cause I love CinSun. Maybe he will now though since Chiodos turned failboat on Craig. Haha.
