Land of Tears (New Songs Up!!)

About Me

Land of Tears is an on-going, however slow process, that began a few years ago with me buying a guitar and borrowing a friends digital recorder. I began playing around with it and put some little tunes together. I recorded about five or six songs and lableled it "life as a process". Complete with my own elementary artwork. I made a few copies of this and handed them out to any willing takers. These songs have been put to rest. Since then, I have become slightly more adept with playing, writing, and recording. I am still learning however. Currently, I am working on recording my first album. Again, it is a slow process for me. Thanks for listening! I edited my profile with Thomas Myspace Editor V4.4 (www.strikefile.com/myspace)You should go here and buy some Handshake Murders merch! You'd be a lot cooler if you did!
