Sounds Like: A high-speed collision between Michel Foucault, Dylan Thomas, and a bunch of guitars. Also like whatever mood I’m in at the moment, whatever band I’m playing with at the moment, and however many words I can smash into any particular rhyme scheme at any given moment. But most of all, it sounds like the crazy and beautiful conundrum that is the human experience expressed through various types of jamz.
CAUTION: SONGZ MAY ALSO SOUND LIKE A BOMB THAT BLOWS UP SAD PEOPLE.
