Yes, its true. Our good friend Stephen has graciously been working with us to help produce an new EP that will be released in the spring.We’ve been having a great time writing, and recording in Nashville which is like our second home. Our stomachs are filled with good food and our heads are filled with melodies. We’ve probably spent a little too much time watching Arrested Development, but we’ll just say that it’s inspiration.

Cheers.

www.babysue.com had some nice things to say about SWFF. Thanks guys!
Schaeffer is the trio consisting of brothers Bryon Rossi, Nolan Rossi, and Daniel Rossi and Something Worth Fighting For is their second full-length studio album. Compared to other up-and-coming underground bands, these guys have a surprisingly slick and commercial sound. Schaeffer songs may very well be too polished and sleek for the average underground music fan…but our guess is that this isn’t the specific market these guys are targeting anyway. Something spins like an album of hits all tied together into one well-conceived album. After spinning this CD several times, we predict that it’s only a matter of time before these guys experience a major wave of success. Their songs are smart and articulate…and executed to perfection. The vocals are always right on target. Infectious hummable tracks include “Promise Me,” “Iloveyouwithacrash” (our favorite), “Make Us See,” and “Something Worth Fighting For.” (Rating: 5)

Schaeffer plays The Pike Room this Saturday!

Announced New Years Day on Alternative Addiction’s website:

Schaeffer is a unique band, and it’s only fitting that their music follow suit. The band is comprised of three brothers, Bryon, Nolan, and Daniel Rossi.

The band debuted on Alternative Addiction in 2005 with their song “Stay” from their debut album “No Ordinary People,” but it wasn’t until 2007 that we really began to see just how impressive this trio was.

The band released their sophomore album “Something Worth Fighting For” in the summer of 2007, and people were instantly talking about it. What made the album so special is the unique direction the band took in writing it- as collection of individual songs that each stand alone…while simultaneously working together to tell a single, complete story. The result is an album that many feel not only raises the bar for Schaeffer, but for all young indie bands.

Congratulations Schaeffer on being voted by the visitors of Alternative Addiction as the best Unsigned Band of 2007! We can’t wait to hear what’s to come in 2008!

Schaeffer has been announced the winner of the London-based Artist Development company, We Are Lisenting’s “Breaking the Band” competition. Here’s the lowdown from We Are Listening’s website:
