The friendship that spawned Patent Pending, the debut release from Heavens, began several years back when Matt Skiba moved to Los Angeles
from Chicago, and wound up becoming housemates with Josiah Steinbrick, himself an East Coast native.
"We're both music nerds," Skiba explains. "So one day were both hanging out listening to records and Joe pulls out this cassette he had

The friendship that spawned Patent Pending, the debut release from Heavens, began several years back when Matt Skiba moved to Los Angeles
from Chicago, and wound up becoming housemates with Josiah Steinbrick, himself an East Coast native.
"We're both music nerds," Skiba explains. "So one day were both hanging out listening to records and Joe pulls out this cassette he had
recorded with just these instrumental tracks. Even without lyrics I could tell they were amazing songs and said that we should start writing
together. I had a sixteen-track in my room that I was using to demo Alkaline Trio songs, and once I fell in love with Joe's songs, I thought, I
could write lyrics to these so easily."
The album itself was written in about a week in August of 2004. "I would pick up some wine and we'd head in my room to write," remembers
Skiba. "I would basically go into my room and write a song," Steinbrick adds. "Then I'd bring it back to Matt's room and we'd lay it down. Matt
would add lyrics to it and we'd refine the arrangements to perfect them."
