LAMP (2003)
"Kyle Winkworth and I recorded a bunch of songs in Grade 8 and 9. The funny thing is none of us had any music talent - and still don't. After various experiments we finally found our thing. Our Grade 10 tech teacher Mr. Smith lent me the digital eight track recorder. My goodness the effects we could play with and fun things we could do. One of the projects we handed in for that class was an album titled "Lamp" and a 5 song single for the song "People Like Frank" which appears on the album. I think we got an A plus on this nervous materpiece.

SHORT SONGS FOR TALL PEOPLE (2004)
"It was time for us again to score some extra marks. It was the end of the school year and we were running out of good jokes to pull so we decided it was time to write a 'comedy' album. 38 tracks all under one second. Some are funny, some aren't. Some rule and others break the rules. Either or they are here! The "F" word got us another A plus."

THE FIRES THAT DIE OUT (2004)
"By this point I learnt a couple more chords. This started as another school project and ended to be something more. Neat people were always stopping by in Mr. Smith's classroom which helped the flow of the creative juices. If you listen close you can hear voices in the distant. This was a weird time in our lives."
