About Me

Hi!

Im the singer, songwriter and one of the guitar players for the band No Use for A Name. No Use continues to be my main focus, however, I'm working on a side project which consists of various types of music. I'm writing this music because I have to get it out of my system and seems it wouldn’t exactly fit in with punk rock. I don't really know how it will sound as a whole; guitar, vocals, weird? Right now I am just planning on releasing something at some point, however, likely in 2009. It's just finding the time to do it between watching horrible television shows and touring with the band.My awesome wife was nice enough to set this up and help me maintain this page because she is tired of hearing all these song ideas that never see daylight and just tired of me in general. In the meantime, I have added 5 new songs from my HOME DEMO to this site, so stay tuned while I get it together and don't be mad if I don't write back right away, it can be challenging on the road! Also I will have some shows coming up real soon in 2009 and will post too.

Thanks-

Tony
