"The herd mentality, doing what you're told. "Fitting in" are alien concepts (...shrugs). To better answer your question listen to our self-titled track "The Herd [No one hears the lemming scream]". You may want to read the lyrics to fully appreciate the song's intent." - Matt, Lemming Scream

Pick-up jam sessions for/with friends and family. An acoustic set for the occasional open-mic nite.

"Writing takes huge amounts of time. From concept to composition...recording and producing...I can spend, literally, days sometimes working on a song. Refining the lyric, ya know...changing a word here, a line there. Playing live is a lot of fun but I get more satisfaction from the writing process...workin out those demons, ya know." - Matt, Lemming Scream

"I love the concept of anyone being able to express themselves and not just those with money. I mean, music use to be this exclusive club musicians had to claw their way into. Not only that but this exclusive club has maintained control over what's "popular" for decades, but now exposure to the masses is much more universal with the 'net". - Matt, Lemming Scream

I like money! -Mr. Krabs, "Spongebob Squarepants"

Lemming Scream started as a 3-piece band back in 2000 with Matt Brosnan on guitar, Mark Hedgpeth on bass and vocals and Rick- on drums, under the name "Fat Satchel". In 2001 the band broke up and Matt and Mark decided to reform under the new name of "Lemming Scream"and enter the studio to express themselves a bit. As an independant, self-produced endeavor their first CD, "Waiting for the echoes" took an exhausting four years to produce. It would be another three years in post-production before being released in the spring of 2008.

Since that time Mark has gone on to other interests, during which time Matt has produced a [yet-to-be-released] acoustic EP as well as beginning production on a new full-length CD, soon to be released. Some of the tracks for the new CD are available here.

"Oh, man....everything I've ever listened too. I grew up listening to old country...bar music, ya know...Johnny Cash and Merle Haggard...at one point, I think I was 12 or 13, I got an old album of classical music at the Goodwill and spun that for a while. Later, my brothers turned me on to, like, Black Sabbath, Triumph and stuff. I got really heavy into ACDC and Judas Priest, Metallica and stuff later on. I remember listening to a lot of '70's type stuff like Rod Stewart and Elton John while sittin' in mom's car as a kid while she sat in the bars gettin drunk" - Matt, Lemming Scream

"On stage, playing live and in the studio workin on music." - Matt, Lemming Scream

"It's pretty simple stuff. I've recently bought a Mackie mixer (...laughs). When I first started recording I didn't know any better and bought a Radio Shack DJ mixer, which is what "Waiting for the echoes" was recorded through (...laughs again) what a dummy. I've got an Ibanez Performer acoustic guitar, a Gibson like Angus' [Angus Young, of ACDC], Mmm...most everything else is computer-based...drums and effects and stuff" - Matt, Lemming Scream
