    Why Once Bitten WON'T Record an Album Nov 13, 2025
    Show notes

    Forget the 10-song record—Once Bitten is embracing the modern single strategy! Robbie Lockner explains the band’s unconventional recording plan, noting that they will focus exclusively on singles to better focus the audience and avoid becoming a “blip on the radar”. He also addresses the challenge of moving beyond the built-in legacy audience and whether the new material will move outside of the classic Great White sound.
