Description/Reviews: 

"30 Seconds of Fame" is byron's fourth studio album and the first one to see a bilingual release. Most of the 13 songs were composed by Dan Byron in February 2012 during an international challenge which called for the participants to compose and record a 10-track album in one month. On this new record the band presents a very diverse sound, experimenting quite a bit with various electronic elements and textures yet retaining a particular "acoustic" feel on certain key tracks.
