death certificate and autopsy report

Matt and I decided to end the band this morning. I could go on about bad decisions and things we should have done differently, but there's no point in doing so. The bottom line is that we were only ...

Whompy's take on May 27th

(from www.wizrocklopedia.com)Last night's show in Philly was a blast. I was expecting a bigger crowd, but (as usual) the people who showed up were awesome and made up for the smallness. The Marauders ...

Never Fear, Bitchslicer's Here

Our upcoming show on the 27th has been very problematic, and I have found myself very discouraged this week- even to the point of wanting to end this band completely.I booked our two May shows back in...

pics from April Fools Day show

This past Sunday night we played @ Alexander's, by invitation of Lapumzik (a new band from Nazareth who have been very supportive of us). It was a low-key show, not a big turn out, but I like playing...

Chinese Rockers / Exit Wound / Order of Merlin / Back Alley Bastards recap

Me and Ryan pulled up in the parking lot at the exact same second as The McDevitts, which was kind of weird. Matt was all annoyed from driving all the way from Philly, he was swearing he'd never driv...

Storm Giant

Writing new songs has always been my favorite part of being in a band. My second favorite part would be playing shows. Recording is my least favorite part, though it's obviously worth the trouble to...

recording

We headed over to our friend Cedric's studio this afternoon, and walked out with "A Tear for Aragog" finished. It sounds as good as that song could possibly sound, and that's going to be the track we...

PA WIZARD ROCK FEST part deux

Wow, what a great night. I've been crapping my pants about this show all week, ever since I got the news that LIFE magazine would be sending photographers and reporters (yeah, that LIFE magazine, the...

The Current/Bitchslicer/Order of Merlin/Shifty Shane Jenkins/Tina Olson/King Gary recap

I arrived at Alexander's around 6pm on friday, and was amazed to see that Bitchslicer and some Philly folk were already there. I thought for sure they'd have to call for directions at some point, but...
