The 88 Week: Final Day

(antiMusic) Critically acclaimed rockers The 88 return to stores this week with their latest effort "Not Only... But Also." To celebrate the release we asked Keith Slettedahl to pick some of his favorite tracks from the album and tell us a little bit about each one. Here is Keith with today's song:

Save Your Breath: I was tired of meeting with people in the music business -- managers, lawyers, label people -- none of whom seemed at all interested in working with our band. I finally realized that none of this was even important to me, and that I had completely lost sight of what really mattered: playing music that I liked with friends that I loved. I decided I no longer needed anyone's approval, and I wrote this song.

I then proceeded to disregard everything I wrote and signed a record deal. I stand by every word in the song, and it means more to me now than the day I wrote it. It was Matt Wallace's idea to add a bridge to the song, and I'm glad we listened. I like this one a lot.
