Mindhook is the solo project of me, Brett Flinch. I was never much of a musician, but I spent a lot of my summer days writing or thinking, and I got really into song writing during the summer of '07. I had guitar lessons for a breif period two years before 2007, but I had barely learned a damn thing. Somehow, an acoustic guitar ended up in my hands again that summer though and I thought, "Fuck it, I'm gonna try this." I went through 30+ acoustic recordings (many of which are now available on the free CD titled Cheap Strings ) before I finally got the chance to experiment with a drum machine.
Yeah, nobody around here likes punk or plays the drums, so I had to use a drum machine. The drum machine actually started when I needed to make a project for Biology class, so a "punk as fuck" (and terribly shitty) song about "Vacuoles" was made. I decided that if I tried a bit harder on fine-tuning the songs, I could have a definitive sound close to Against Me!'s Reinventing Axl Rose. The sound ended up a lighter and a little more crisp than Against Me! and I developed my own sound. The product of that was Is Heaven in These Clouds of Smog? which is available free for download.
That lasted until December '07 when I recieved an electric guitar. Throughout January of '08, I experimented with electric guitar and recording with a new Microphone. Those recordings are available as the Mindhook = Electric DEMO for free.
I'm currently working on my first LP (that's what us musical assholes call a CD or an album) titled A Mind in Anarchy Without Anarchy in Mind. Two songs from that LP are currently available for listen. Check my shit out and tell me what you think.
I want to hook your mind
And make you think
