about

Okay, so, sparked by a near hard drive failure, and a lack of new material, I decided I'd put together a little compilation of demos and b-sides for anyone who is curious. I tried to pick demos that few people have heard, or those with different lyrics than the final cuts. Most of these were recorded on built-in computer microphones, or worse. Roaring in at over an hour, these 30 songs are only a small portion of the rough sketches and demos that I have amassed since I began recording in 2006. It feels crazy to me that some of the earliest songs featured on this collection are over HALF OF MY LIFETIME old. With that in mind, I hope you enjoy, or that their impure, jagged, innocence can at least make you smile ;-)
