Amplifier Burn

Burning Amplifiers Since Day One!

About Me

Myspace Layouts at Pimp-My-Profile.com / Fire

This is my newest project which is basically influenced by 80s and 90s alternative music. I always knew I would get around to doing this type of music because this is the type of music that has had the most profound effect on me. I hope to have a band going sometime, until then it's just going to be me. If some of the stuff sounds rough around the edges I'm doing it on purpose, real rock and roll is not about gloss and making sure every note is correct, it's about putting feeling in what you play and meaning what you say. My friends, I have that in spades.

A Gemini’s Mentality Running Rampant..

I've decided since I basically write two different styles that I believe I should put out two albums.  One that is dark acoustic/alt-grunge and another that is straight folk rock.  While try...

Blurring The Line...

Well, after uploading "Confusion Reigns Supreme", I feel rejuvenated to a certain extent.  Looking back on the serious backlog of songs that I have floating around, a good chunk of my folk stuff ...

The Hesitant Hiatus

It's been a while since I posted any new music on the page.  This is due to current lack of motivation on my part and I can tell on the part of my friends also.  I've lost twenty myspace fri...

The Evolution Of My Sound

Like everyone else has done at one time or the other, I pigeonholed myself into sticking to one genre.  I love alt/grunge and will continue in that direction for the most part.  Listening to...

Rationalization Of A Loner’s Logic

The First Roadblock In The Creation Making Process

I wrote a song the other day called "Biblethumper".  I love the lyrics.  I love the music.  It's a very blunt song and gets my point across without sugarcoating my message.  I...

Declaration Of Intent

Music has consumed me since the day I was born.   It is the essence of my being, it is the reason I live, and in my opinion is a greater escape than any substance or drug known to man. ...
