About Me

With all the things that happen in the world songs should be vibrant and alive with stories and tales that inform, entertain, and evoke emotion. To put this into prespective I will use one of my favorite quotes. "Nothing happens in the world? Are you out of your fucking mind? People are murdered every day. There's genocide, war, corruption. Every fucking day, somewhere in the world, somebody sacrifices his life to save someone else. Every fucking day, someone, somewhere makes a conscious decision to destroy someone else. People find love, people lose it. For Christ's sake, a child watches her mother beaten to death on the steps of a church. Someone goes hungry. Somebody else betrays his best friend for a woman. If you can't find that stuff in life, then you, my friend, don't know crap about life. And why the FUCK are you wasting my two precious hours with your movie? I don't have any use for it. I don't have any bloody use for it." All of this stuff that applies to movies is the same for music.

New Song

I wrote a new song about not knowing what to do about the things that are wrong with this country, and the anger that swells in ones own apathy as they sit and do nothing. I express this feeling mostl...
