Heartbreak in Stereo is the debut studio album by the American rock band Pencey Prep.
Content[edit]
The nineteen track album was released on compact disc and digital download with Eyeball Records, on 26 November 2001.[1] The album is produced by John Naclerio, and was recorded at Nada Studios in Newburgh, New York, with the exception of "Fat and Alone," which was produced by Antonio Valenti and recorded at HinchKraft Studios in North Haledon, New Jersey. Mastering is by Alan Douches at West West Side. Album artwork is by Neil Sabatino, with photography by Dahlia Nardone, and Jamie Schaefer.[2] Heartbreak in Stereo is described as vicious, but unfocused hardcore punk rock. It features Frank Iero in "full berserker mode," with screaming, howling, and raging vocals.[3] It was re-released in early 2007, because fans could not find the album.
On recording for Heartbreak in Stereo, Iero says "I tried not to hold anything back, [which is] the way I feel about music and performing." Eyeball Records label owner Alex Saavedra notes "I actually disliked the record, but I liked the kids because they had a lot of heart."[3]
