About Me

Hi. My name's Johnny. I play bass for School of Athens, an indie piano-metal group out of Pittsburgh, PA. That's right, fuckwad: Piano-Metal. Someone made it up, I just typed it, you just read it... Gather your mind.

I wrote and recorded these songs very quickly. I use a program called Adobe Audition, the merits and licenses of which are at best dubious. Some of these tunes will go on to be adored by millions of screaming fans. Others will be relegated to the dustbin of cyberspace. All of them were fucking awesome before, at the exact moment which, and possibly several minutes after I actually recorded them.

Oh, hey...Sorry about the fuckwad thing. I'll be in my office.
