Following the DIY nature of Initial, Person L's 2008 self-released debut, the band looked to Aaron Marsh, lead musician and producer of the band Copeland, to produce The Positives at his home studio, The Vanguard Room. Marsh helped the band forge a new sound which clearly represents a huge departure from frontman Kenneth Vasoli's former band, The Starting Line. A major contribution was helping them to bring to the fore the band's trademark complex rhythms with their unique use of percussion and two drummers. "We were aiming to keep a very raw and dirty quality to the record while still making it comprehensive and colorful," notes Vasoli.
Person L recently wrapped up dates with Ace Enders and a Million Different people, and have confirmed a co-headlining tour with John Nolan (Straylight Run) this fall. The tour will kick off in Cleveland, OH, on November 10th and will continue through December 12th in the band's hometown of Philadelphia, PA. Prior to these dates, Vasoli will be embarking on a very special solo acoustic tour through Australia in October. The band will also be headlining at World Caf� Live in Philadelphia on November 9th for the release party of "Somebody's Gonna Miss Us," the CD/ DVD from The Starting Line.
