''Zombies! Aliens! Vampires! Dinosaurs!'' is the debut studio album by American indie pop band Hellogoodbye. Produced by Matt Mahaffey, Jeff Turzo, and Forrest Kline, the album was released on August 8, 2006 in the United States by Drive-Thru Records. The album's lead single, "Here (In Your Arms)", reached number 14 on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100 and was certified platinum in the United States. The album's title is a reference to popular youth culture and interests during the mid-2000s. The cover artwork was done by LeDouxville (see Jesse LeDoux). The Japanese release additionally features two live versions of "Here (In Your Arms)" and "Homewrecker". ==Background== Hellogoodbye was formed in 2002 by vocalist/guitarist Forrest Kline, bassist Marcus Cole, keyboardist Jesse Kurvink, and drummer Chris Profeta.〔 Drive-Thru, which formerly employed Kline as a web design intern at 16, signed the band in 2004. The label’s deal with majors MCA (and its successor, Geffen) was nearing its conclusion and the label intended to keep their newest artist signing quiet.〔 Drive-Thru feared the majors might realize Hellogoodbye’s potential and attempt to steal them away. The band issued an eponymous online EP for free, and although it was intended to remain “under the radar,” it attracted commercial attention.〔 "Shimmy Shimmy Quarter Turn" became a minor hit on MTV and helped the group gain notoriety.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Hellogoodbye – Biography )〕 The group was chosen by the cast of MTV’s ''The Real World: Austin'' to be followed during South by Southwest (SXSW), and their profile began to increase dramatically. This exposure was aided by Drive-Thru’s distribution deal with Sony BMG’s RED Distribution, through Sanctuary Records. Drive-Thru paid $20,000 to promote the album, which Sanctuary funded retail pricing and positioning.〔 The album was recorded at a home studio with help from Matt Mahaffey of the band Self. Kline found his first professional recording not dissimilar from the way he had previously made music, via a computer in his bedroom. Recording of the album finished in March 2006. The cover artwork was done by LeDouxville (see Jesse LeDoux). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Zombies! Aliens! Vampires! Dinosaurs!」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
