In a new interview with J.J. Caithcart of Different Stages Radio, PARALANDRA vocalist/guitarist Casandra Carson spoke about the status of THE L.I.F.E. PROJECT, her collaborative project with STONE SOUR guitarist Josh Rand. She said (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET: "I'm gonna be going back into the studio to do more tracking second week of January, before I head out on tour. So we're gonna be releasing two EPs [in 2025]. And we've been working on these songs for, I wanna say, like, three years at this point. We've recorded them, we've demoed them time and time, over and over again, and these last mixes that we've been doing absolutely crush. I am so glad that we waited and really spent the time to let the songs become what they needed to become and kept refining and doing these tiny little tweaks here and there that really make the world of a difference. So, yeah, I've got, like, I wanna say one, maybe two songs left to record for that, and then that'll be out [later this year]."
Regarding how the two new EPs from THE L.I.F.E. PROJECT will be made available to the public, Casandra said: "We're not on a label or anything. We're just gonna be releasing this independently. So, just depends on what the schedule ends up being. And I know that Josh really would love to be able to play some live shows again, but it's kind of been just like working up to that point physically for him to be able to do that and not hurt his back, basically. So, yeah, a lot of a lot of very important things to consider there. But, yeah, we'll see."
Casandra previously talked about new THE L.I.F.E. PROJECT music in a May 2024 interview with the Nothing Shocking podcast. She stated at the time: "As of just less than a week ago, Josh is back playing guitar. He had back surgery that he'd been out of commission for a little over a year at this point, so we've just kind of been waiting for his recovery. So now the plans are to continue writing. We've already got, like, five songs that have been written and recorded that we just haven't released 'cause we wanna be able to actually go out and tour and support it when we do release it. So, yeah, [we're] kind of getting back into the swing of things, but I'm super excited. It's some good music."
Regarding how she balances PARALANDRA and THE L.I.F.E. PROJECT, Casandra said: "It's difficult. PARALANDRA is my baby and I live in Springfield [Missouri], and that's where everybody lives for PARALANDRA. So it's much easier to get together twice a week to have practices. And we write songs organically right there in the garage, whereas with Josh, it's, like, you send off the track to get drums recorded and then you send it off to get the bass done. It's a very different process. So I'm kind of in two different worlds, but I do try to do both of them at the same time as often as I can."
In September 2022, THE L.I.F.E. PROJECT released a new single, "Dying Of The Light".
Earlier that year, THE L.I.F.E. PROJECT completed a run of U.S. dates as the support act for ALICE IN CHAINS, BREAKING BENJAMIN and BUSH.
THE L.I.F.E. PROJECT made its live debut on April 30, 2022 at The Riff in Springfield, Missouri.
