About Me

Hello my lovlies!My name's Dave. I also play in a band called Kickin' Rocks w/ Jason Brisson on drums and Aaron Selbig on bass, but this is my solo stuff. I have one LP that I recorded in the summer of 2005 called "Glorious Triumphant" and one 3-song EP in recorded in 2006 The LP has 10 songs, the majority of which are political in nature--or at least they think they are. The other songs are about girls. And there's a Stiff Little Fingers cover, too. The LP was engineered by Aaron Selbig of insurgent49 (see the i49 MySpace) in 2005. "Confronted w/ the Truth" is on "Glorious Triumphant." The EP consists of the songs "It Always Rains When We're In Paris", "Three-Oh" and "The End of This"; they were recorded by Heath Berg in Fall 2006. (I suggest you listen to Heath's music on his MySpace page. It's really good.) If you're interested in a copy of "Glorious Triumphant," let me know and I'll try to get one to you.QUESTION EVERYTHING!
