so i just gave him the ropes!

About Me

making music for music's sake. keep it diy!
i wrote hrswhip's latest record in february and dean watson was kind enough to throw some microphones up in front of some drums and amps in the summer of 2007 and let me play the songs. vindictiveness was recorded in a couple of days in the basement of a church in ottawa, canada.
hopefully next year i can recruit some friends back home to play the record out live and tour a little bit.
hrswhip currently resides in a small apartment in a dirty alley in huainan, anhui (china).
until i get home, half of the record can be downloaded for free at http://www.archive.org/details/hrswhip and the other half can be purchased through itunes for $3.96.
