occam’s razor/Marc Ganancias

About Me

I started this project in early 2003 shortly after leaving The Implants. It was originally intended to simply be a studio project, since all the players in the studio are/were involved with other bands/family commitments. Still, I put together a few shows with random friends sitting in on different sets, and it was a lot of fun. Now, I record the loud, fast, punk rock in the studio, but I've also added more acoustic songs, since all the shows I'm doing are just me and my guitar. Thanks for taking the time to listen. If you have any questions, or just want to say "hi," don't hesitate to contact me. I always like meeting new people, especially musicians & artists, along with those who don't do what's expected of them or follow someone else's pre-scripted ideals.
