About Me

I have one album released on BwO Records called Shell Shocked, and two more recorded waiting for homes, Hellproof is an electric guitar romp, and Like Gin in a Violet Friend is a bar - sounding band recording. Even though I recorded them both in the same studio over the course of three days, they have different enough sounds that I split them up. So if your interested, wrtie your local congressman and request that the state helps me release these things. Rock on.
