Serenity Now!

You said it all, you said it how?

About Me

Our first album, Destruction of the System from Within, isn't even out yet and it already kicks your ass. It has guitars, strings, harmonies, synthesizers, claps and orgasms. Look for it early 2007.
Our latest sampler, Gather the Masses, kicks your ass too. Hooks, riffs, grooves, sexiness -- consider your jams pumped up.
Unlike other bands, we don't have an original sound that links all genres, and it's not something that you've never heard before. In fact, we're told we sound a bit like (in no particular order) Nirvana, Cheap Trick, Blue Oyster Cult, Queens of the Stone Age, Soundgarden, Foo Fighters, Weezer, the Beach Boys and Phil Spector. We're also embarrassed to say that we've been compared to Lenny Kravitz.
All that, and we're still coming out with the best rock music in town, and by "town" we mean "the world."
Yeah, we're what you'd hear on the radio -- if the radio played good music.
We're Serenity Now!, and we're ready for interviews, shows and airplay when you're ready to help us move all of the shitty bands out of the way.
Buy our three-song debut EP, Art Irritates Life, for only $5 (postage paid) via PayPal!

Guitars... almost done

Bryan finally called me a "sick fuck" for my good luck meal before recording, which would be pretty much any fast food breakfast that includes sausage. I'm partial these days to the Sausage Croissant...
