He made 2 demo tapes ("UNPLUGGED" and "CHINESE SYMBOL TATTOOS") that year and sold lots of them. A CD entitled "NO AIM AT ALL"was recorded in 2001 for the record label Street Trash Records . STREET TRASH was changed to DONE AWAY records in the fall of 2004. The "NO AIM AT ALL" cd featured a few of DUNAWAY's older songs he's written in 1996 when he was in the band ISSUE OF IGNORANCE (IOI). It also had some of his early acoustic songs such as "Rastaman", "Chaos in Mayberry", and "Caffeine". A second CD entitled "VULGAR DISPLAY OF POWER CHORDS" was recorded in the fall of 2003. "VULGAR DISPLAY OF POWER CHORDS" features the songs "Emo Kids Are Pussies", "D.I.Y.", "Chi-Town Gangster", and "You're All Gonna Fry". DUNAWAY recorded a third CD entitled "VIKING SCUMBAGGERY".
