About Me

Okay, there were high school bands. pre-high school bands, post-high school-pot-smoking-drinking-living-the-rock-and-roll-lifesty le-a-bit-too-prematurely bands, and there were always at least two of these three guys playing together, one instrument or another, one line-up or another, one genre or another. There was punk, there was (attempted) hard-core, screamo, emo, remo williams. Then all those bands (Killdrama, Eugene, Punk Like Ursin, to name a few) all broke up and these three guys came together to create something new, something based on the music they grew up with (Pavement, Modest Mouse, Built To Spill, etc); something that makes you move your feet without being contrived to sell units; something that will make you nod your head, but you could drive to, or work on the computer to; something maturely juvenile; something indie.

New Songs

Friends On Hiatus

So I just got off the phone with Morgan and we parted ways more amicably than we did last night. I've been working with him for over a decade now, really, and will miss working with him...
